Fans were shocked to hear that Waka Flocka Flame recently teamed up with Suge Knight, whose strong-armed tactics and fall from grace have been well-documented.

“Suge is just here because I grab game from Suge,” explained Waka in an interview with hiphopnews24-7.com, referring to Knight’s years in the industry. 

“He’s shown me his mistakes, he’s tellin’ me his mistakes. He told me the mistakes he made so I don’t make the same mistakes,” he added.
