Waka Flocka Flames Joins Gucci Mane Behind Bars After Turning Himself In Over November Incident

Rapper Waka Flocka Flame turned himself in to authorities in Atlanta on Monday (January 3) following last month's raid on his home. Flocka was booked on multiple charges, including possession of
marijuana and hydrocodone, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon
and violation of probation for driving on a suspended license.

According to TMZ, Waka's mother and manager, Deb Antney, said the rapper turned himself in because "he wanted to do the right thing and didn't want to run."

The rapper's arrest stemmed from a warrant issued after a raid on his home in Atlanta last month, during which authorities were said to be i

nvestigating a prostitution organization but instead uncovered drugs
and guns on the premises. Antney, who was home at the time of the raid,
along with Waka associate Gucci Mane, fiercely denied the prostitution
allegations. Although Antney and Mane were detained while police
searched the home, neither party was charged.

"It had nothing to do with prostitution," Antney told MTV News. "The weapons they found were licensed weapons. There was under an ounce of marijuana, but it was nothing but a blunt. The other drugs were
medication that was in Waka's room from when he got hurt," Antney said,
referring to Waka Flocka's shooting last year.

During a sit-down with radio station Hot 93.7 in Hartford, Connecticut, after the raid, Waka denied he was involved in any shady dealings, maintaining he has no plans to juggle life in the
streets and the spotlight.

"Why would I rap and go try to street gang bang? That's hustling backwards. Why would I wanna rap all around the world and then go hit the streets and gang bang? I'm a rapper, I'm not a [gang-banger]. How
can you gang-bang and be a rapper? I don't understand that," he said. "I
would love to find out where their information is coming from. I can't
wait."

The "No Hands" rapper, whose real name is Juaquin Malphurs, is reportedly being held on $31,950 bond. A hearing is set for Today (Tuesday).
