Waka Flocka Flame Joins Lady Gaga and Mariah Carey as the New Face of PETA

Just when you thought the world couldn’t get any stranger, Waka Flocka Flame has upped the ante as the new face of PETA. The campaign, titled Ink, Not Minks, launches Feb. 22 in Los Angeles.

Flame, who has had his fair share of recent legal troubles, was passionate when asked about mankind’s responsibility towards animals. “Animals should be treated the same as you would a kid,” he said. “Would you want someone just to walk up and skin your kid? Hell no!”

In non-animal related news, Waka also revealed his list of all-time favorite rappers. His list included Eazy-E, Tupac, Nas, Jay-Z … and of course, himself. Here’s his official break down of the list.


“As I feel, in this current state of mind, I would say Tupac. Why Tupac; because, I can relate to all of Tupac’s music,” he began. “After, ‘Pac, it’s my boy, Eazy-E. I would say Eazy-E; because, he’s just gangsta! He just had that, ‘I don’t give a f— attitude, ‘I’m Eazy. You gotta love me for me, or else you can throw it out the window.’ … I would say Nas. Nas’ lyrics will educate you. You’ll listen to Nas and be like, ‘g——, that was some clever a– s—.’ It will make you think and question life. If you haven’t been educated, he will educate you on his theories. He is a positive person, so, I respect Nas.”

“I would probably say … I don’t know. D—, that’s hard,” he continued. “For number four, I’ll say Waka Flocka. I love Waka Flocka, that’s my favorite rapper! My fifth rapper, I would say, Jay-Z, because of his legacy, his swag, his position as a businessman. He wasn’t afraid to change. He’s just Jay-Z.”


So there you have it. Hip-hop’s Mount Rushmore: Eazy-E, Tupac, Nas, Jay-Z … and Waka Flocka. –djr
