Waka Flocka Flame & Gucci Mane Head to Queens for Charity Basketball Event

Waka Flocka Flame and Gucci Mane were on hand in Queens this past weekend to hand out school supplies as a part of 50 Cent's second annual 40 Day event.

Waka Flocka Flame and Gucci Mane were on hand in Queens this past weekend to hand out school supplies as a part of 50 Cent’s second annual 40 Day event.

The G Unit sponsored event made national headlines last year when 50 took hundreds of children from his Southside Jamaica Queens neighborhood to Six Flags and held a private concert.

Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka’s relationship has been the source of media speculation for weeks following a Vibe interview where Flocka said there was “no relationship” between them due to Gucci’s management dismissal of Flocka’s mother Debra Antney. In subsequent interviews, Antney vehemently denied there was any tension despite Vibe posting audio from their interview. Earlier this month, Gucci Mane walked out of an interview with Richmond’s Power 92.1 when he was asked about a brewing Waka Flocka “beef.”

In addition to helping children, the 40 Day event served as a public display of unity between the pair. 

New Brick Squad affiliate French Montana was also on hand to participate.

Before moving to Atlanta as a teenager, Waka Flocka was originally a resident of Queens’ northside.
