Flocka’s teacher Apostle Bridget C. Outlaw says she loves Waka’s mind over his music. The rap star has chosen to dedicate his life and brand to mental health awareness and suicide prevention.

His younger brother, Kayo Redd who was also a rapper, died by suicide in 2013. Since then Waka has been on a mission to spread positivity, including donating to charities and posing naked for PETA to support vegan lifestyles.

Dr. Flocka is now a well-decorated student. In October 2020, he also received an honorary doctorate degree in philanthropy and humanitarianism in New York, TMZ reported

Congratulations!
