Description

“When I met God, I high‑fived the devil.” - Waka Flocka Flame In one of the rawest conversations we’ve ever had on Country Outdoors Podcast, Waka Flocka Flame sits down with Mary O’Neill Phillips to share his full testimony. From losing two younger brothers and carrying survivor’s guilt, to living on ecstasy from seventh grade into his twenties, facing a 10‑year prison sentence with a stolen car and a sawed‑off shotgun, and walking through divorce and depression, Waka opens up about the moments that nearly broke him—and how God met him in the middle of it. He talks about why he now refuses to take any opportunity that pulls him away from God (“If it moves me away from God, I’m not doing it. I don’t care how profitable it is. The devil gets no play in my ride.”), how he thinks about marriage, friendship, forgiveness, and what kind of father he wants to be for his son. If you’ve only known Waka Flocka Flame from the turn‑up anthems, this episode will change the way you see him.
