Waka Flocka Posed Nude For PETAs INK NOT MINK Ad

1017 Brick Squad rapper Waka Flocka decided to posed nude for PETA campaign ad “Ink Not Mink.” The only thing Waka is wearing is his diamond chains. The ad urges, ”Ink, Not Mink. Be Comfortable in Your Own Skin and Let Animals Keep Theirs.”

According to PETA’s press release:

In an exclusive PETA interview, Waka urges the hip-hop community to consider the animals who are cruelly killed for fur coats, collars, and cuffs. “Understand where that fox fur came from before you spend $1,000…someone got their head beat in and electrocuted,” he says “Understand what you buy, instead of just going off fashion and what it looks like—that’s what I’d tell my community.”

Waka also speaks out against forcing animals to perform in circuses. “I don’t agree with that at all,” he says. “That shit is whack.”

The Flockaveli MC is the first rapper to star in PETA’s iconic “Ink, Not Mink” campaign. Other musicians who have joined with PETA to speak out against fur include Pink, Kid Sister, Mark Ronson, Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington, Gym Class Heroes’ Travie McCoy, Dave Navarro, Chuck D, Masta Killa, Murs, and Mario, among many others.

I think this track is dope. Wiz went in on this record. I truly appreciate what Wiz is doing for the new school Hip-Hop. He is one of the faces of our generation of Hip-Hop. Wiz is a packaged rapper, he has the whole packaged. He can rap, perform, do photo shoots,  interviews and have swag. I first met Wiz in early 2010 back when I was interning for XXL magazine.  Wiz was doing a photo shoot for the mag. He was very humble and down to earth. Much success with all your future endeavors Wiz.
