Now that Flocka, born Juaquin Malphurs, has retired from rap, he could put his football fandom to good use and put new meaning to “No Hands.” When Atlanta United joined MLS last year, he was one of the first people to endorse them. Like many before him, the passion on display caused him to fall in love with the game. While in Spain, Flocka attended what he thought was to be an American football game, but was actually the El Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid. One of the franchise’s most notable fans, his appreciation for the game was born in happenstance. Just a few days before his retirement announcement, Waka shared a few pictures on Instagram of him and his family enjoying an Atlanta United playoff victory. But while those questions can now cease, what is next for the ATL legend? We think it should somehow involve soccer. There was much speculation over what Waka Flocka’s next music move would be, considering the holdup on Flockaveli 2 that lasted several years. Waka Flocka made his name with aggressive lyrics of tales from the streets over booming trap instrumentals, including fan favorites from his 2010 Flockaveli album “Hard in the Paint” and “Grove Street Party.” His biggest song is the playful, three-times platinum “No Hands,” featuring Wale and Roscoe Dash. “I did what I came to do,” he explained of why he hung up the mic after nearly a decade in the game. The Flockaveli MC made the official announcement last week on BET’s new show Raq Rants. His wife, Tammy Rivera, nodded as he shared that he “been gave it up” despite releasing the Big Homie Flocka mixtape in May. In case you didn’t know, Waka Flocka Flame has retired from rap. Having recently announced his retirement from music, here’s why it’s the perfect time for him to get involved with the beautiful game. Besides rap, Flocka is also an avid soccer fan, serving as one of Atlanta United’s many celebrity supporters. With one of the most iconic names in hip-hop history, Waka Flocka Flame has been a steady presence in the Atlanta trap scene since his breakout in 2009.
