Waka Flocka Flame is officially off the market, ladies. The rapper and his fiancee Tammy Rivera reportedly tied the knot a few weeks ago, but word is just getting out now — at least that’s what his mother reveals.
The dreadlock-sporting rhymer initially proposed to Rivera on May 31, 2013. Since then, he’s been speaking a lot about making the transition from a playboy rapper to a committed man.
“Every girl I’m meeting now just want my check,” said Waka in a 2013 interview. “Like they don’t even want to meet you. They don’t care two cents about what you got going on. Plus, I know [Tammy]. That became my best friend, so I called her again like, ‘Yo, man. I want to go all the way.’ She like, ‘Yo, Waka. You still wanna be a boy.’ So I had to play the cat and the mouse game. Then it all worked out. I feel like I’d rather hand her the world than hand her my hand.”
The couple, who are featured on season 3 of ‘Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,’ even surprised Waka’s mom, Debra Antney, with news they eloped. She knew the two would walk the aisle eventually, but didn’t know exactly when.
“I was selfish,” she tells RumorFix. “I wanted to be a part of it [but] they got a marriage license about two weeks ago without me knowing it. He kept his word. He said that he was going to marry her and he did it on his terms. It was very cute to me.”
Will the wedding air on this season of ‘Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta’? Looks like that won’t happen since reports emerged that the show’s creator, Mona Scott-Young, had no idea about the pair’s elopement.
Congratulations to Waka and Tammy on their nuptials (and keeping them a secret).
