Southern rapper Waka Flocka Flame has addressed rappers Nicki Minaj and Gucci Mane recently terminating the services of his mother, Debbie Antney, as their manager.

Although he claims to still be on speaking terms with Minaj, Flocka has said Gucci’s decision has had a huge impact on their relationship.

“I can say when you start getting hot, there are a lot of people that get in your ear. I call that the devil. It’ll turn you against the people that helped you. They must have just felt like they needed a change. Maybe they felt like other people can take their career somewhere else. I don’t know. Just like LeBron [James] going to the Heat. I ain’t mad, though, or got problems with anybody. Moms is good; her bills are paid…Yeah, [it affected my relationship with Gucci] all the way. All the way. I ain’t got beef or anything but it has changed. We don’t talk anymore. Nicki is still my homey, though. I got her number and can call her whenever. My momma ain’t got no problems with her or anything either. Let’s make that clear.”
