Is there anything you can say about the new music that’s coming? You’ve been talking about dropping Flockaveli 2 for a little bit. Now, it’s like, shit I’m doing today, it’s ’cause I wanna do it. As a 35-year-old man, I know exactly what I have to do. Even with the shit I’ve been through with my wife, I wish to God I never in my life hurt her. Even though I did not like it, I was mad as shit, but it still felt good to experience that. For the first time, I had a little boy come to my house for Valentine’s Day and exchange flowers with my daughter and he came with his mother. Being in love is an emotion, so I gotta show love. And for me to show love, I can’t be in love. I know why I’m living and to live is to show love.

Waka Flocka Flame: I’m just living the purpose of God. How does it feel to be a rapper that’s promoting this type of positivity? XXL: You’ve said that you wanted your reality show to be like the modern version of The Cosby Show, with you promoting family and fatherhood.
