Rapper Waka Flocka Flame, whose real name is Juaquin James Malphurs, appeared on It's Giving Podcast's March 26 episode. The host, Sarah Fontenot, asked the rapper if, in a hypothetical situation where he, his wife, and their young child were stranded on a boat in the middle of the ocean, who would he save. Waka Flocka Flame instantly replied he would choose to save his wife.
The rapper stated that he would choose his wife in the hypothetical situation because he can make another child but not the same woman. He said,
"It's my wife. I love my wife before I love my child. How the f*ck could I choose my child over something or someone that created you. Respectfully, I gotta make another one. I cannot make the same woman I love; it's impossible. Like, you can't play with love, real talk."
The clip from It's Giving Podcast was reuploaded by the Instagram page @theshaderoom, and it garnered a varied reaction from netizens.
One netizen (@dhnierablu) stated that the rapper's statement is Biblically correct.
"Biblically, he's right," they wrote.
Some netizens were seemingly unsatisfied with the rapper's answer. They claimed if their husband saved them instead of their kids, they would be upset.
Some netizens stated that Waka Flocka Flame doesn't have kids, so he doesn't know the "true love" of a kid.
Some netizens supported the rapper by saying that doctors are trained to save the mother in medical emergencies. One (@coach.izz) stated that most husbands seemingly choose their wives over kids.
