Recently, Waka Flocka spoke on his 15-year-old stepdaughter Charlie wanting to bring a girl to her Quincenera as a date. Waka made it clear that he wanted Charlie to be herself and that she wasn’t “coming out” because “she was never hiding.” Since then, Waka and his wife Tammy have faced criticism, which they both have responded to.
Waka took to Instagram to address the situation more, calling out “2021 adults” in the process.” The rapper said, “Y'all n***as ain't bullying nobody. And no, I'm not a phobic. I'm not none of that. What I'm gonna say is I'm gonna support my daughter. Y'all stop running with this narrative that she coming out 'cause she ain't never hiding from nothing. She not no face, no spokesman, no nothing. She living her f**king life, man."
From there, Waka said “That's all it need to be. Cut it out." When speaking on “2021 adults,” Waka said: “The way y'all talk about kids is crazy... Who raised y'all?" Watch above.

A recent episode of Waka Flocka and Tammy Rivera's reality show, Waka and Tammy: What the Flocka, showed the couple navigating Tammy's daughter's desire to bring a girl as her date to her Quincenera. While Tammy was all for it and made a comment about supporting her "gay daughter," there were questions about Waka's knowledge of his stepdaughter's sexuality.
Once Tammy and her daughter broke the news to Waka, he didn't seem shocked or bothered by the news. During an appearance on Fox Soul, Waka explained his reaction after the 20-minute mark.
"I don't think. I don't have expectations," Waka said. "The stuff you expecting is never gonna be a hundred percent. I don't believe in a hundred percent. I believe in experience. So, I can't say I don't like something or love something if I never experienced it. I approach it like a strong-minded male and it'll run her away. So I followed my wife's footsteps like, 'Baby just chill, just listen to her.' Charlie probably thought I was gonna act like King Kong, I don't know but it's cool."
When the show's hosts applauded the rapper for his reaction and acceptance, Waka emphasized making sure he raised Charlie to be comfortable being herself.
"I made sure Charlie's her," he said. "So at the end of the day, her happiness is everything. Before I even let her stand on something or 'come out' -- like she ain't have to come out because she was never hiding."
