What Changed Waka Flocka’s Life Forever:
If you recall, back in 2013, Waka lost his 27-year-old brother Kayo Redd (real name Coades Scott) to suicide after being bullied on social media. He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Perhaps Kayo’s death is the reason for Waka Flocka Flame’s retirement in the first place.
In an episode of Viceland’s “The Therapist,” Waka revealed:
Before my little brother killed himself, I didn’t pick up the phone. And I seen him call. I’m like, ‘F*ck, let me call Kayo back soon as this sh*t over with.’ I call him back; no answer…I don’t know who else he called, but what if I picked that call up? That’s when I said, ‘Yo, this rap sh*t? F*ck this rap sh*t!’ I’m trying to work so much to keep everybody happy, that reality is going by.
