Waka Flocka Gets Awarded With Honorary Professor Degree

Waka Flocka Flame is a well-known rapper, but he recently graced a different type of stage. He rose to prominence after signing with 1017 Brick Squad and Warner Bros. Records in 2009, with the release of his singles “O Let’s Do It,” “Hard in da Paint,” and “No Hands.” The Bible Institute of America recently honored Waka Flocka for his dedication to mental health awareness and suicide prevention.

Waka Flocka Flame recently received an honorary professor degree in Humanitarianism and Philanthropy from the Bible Institute of America while also celebrating his 36th birthday. According to TMZ, the Atlanta native was honored at Rainbow Push Headquarters in Chicago alongside civil rights pioneer Reverend Jesse Jackson. Waka Flocka took to Instagram to commemorate the event.

I remember at 26 i made a promise to God to stop taking xpills, stop drinking lean and start cleaning out my heart. 10 yrs later i’m 36 with degrees, a daughter , financially free, and a lot of people that look up to me shawty i’m beyond grateful…. i been preparing my whole life for what’s about to happen 🙏🏾 THANK YOU FATHER GOD.

Waka Flocka, who previously obtained an honorary doctorate in October 2020, now has the opportunity to teach at a university. Waka Flocka Flame was honored by Reverend Jesse Jackson, who praised his “entrepreneurial abilities.” The rapper’s teacher was equally complimentary of her pupil saying that he is not only one of this century’s finest thinkers but also this generation likes his music.

Following a sad loss, Waka Flocka became an advocate for mental health awareness and suicide prevention. Kayo Redd, his younger brother, committed suicide in 2013. Check out the Instagram videos below.
