Waka Flocka Flame: “When I Met God, I High‑Fived the Devil”
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.
What we cover in this episode:
The tragic accident that took his little brother’s life and the guilt he carried for years
Losing a second brother to suicide and wrestling with “Why them, God?”
Ecstasy, numbing the pain, and realizing “this is not me”
Getting locked up in Georgia and the legal scare that forced a change
Divorce, failure, and why he says he needed that season to grow
How he now makes every decision based on whether it moves him closer to or further from God
Fatherhood, boundaries, and why he still believes in love
Welcome to the Country Outdoors Podcast, where country music, entertainment, and outdoor lifestyle collide with honest conversations about faith, life, and the wild.
