Waka Flocka Flame Endorses Hillary for 2016

The wave of excitement about rapper Waka Flocka Flame’s apparent plans to run for president in 2016 were quickly dashed when the world realized he’s still seven years too young to qualify. But while he many not be able to run himself, he has already decided who he will be voting for.

At the tail end of a new interview with MTV News, the rapper did not hesitate when asked who he plans to support. “Hillary,” he said, adding, “a woman could do it.” After watching his mother raise five boys, Waka Flocka Flame said he knows “women can do the same shit men can do.”

Then he added a comment that is unlikely to resonate with most of Hillary Clinton’s female supporters. “I just feel like when it’s the time of that month, they need to get the fuck out of that office,” he said, before quickly adding, “Nah, just playing.”

If he helps Clinton campaign, he said she will need to help him promote his new album, Flockaveli 2 as well.
