Juaquin was born in Brooklyn, New York, [2] During his childhood, he was influenced by the streets. Waka Flocka Flame looked up to drug dealers as role models.[2] According to Julia Beverly of Ozone magazine, he is the son of Debra Antney, Nicki Minaj and Gucci Mane's manager and CEO of the management company Mizay Entertainment.[3] Waka Flocka is signed to the So Icey Entertainment record label. In December 2009 his single "O Let's Do It" charted at #41 on the Billboard Hip Hop/R&B chart, and #24 on their Rap Songs chart.[4]
The name "Waka Flocka" was given to him by rapper Gucci Mane,[citation needed] as a reference to the onomatopoeiaic sound of a gun being cocked.
