But after a recent interview on the It’s Giving Podcast with Sarah Fontenot, he’ll be known for stirring up the emotions of a lot of audience members who disagree with his opinion on this circumstantial scenario.
Sarah asked the Atlanta rapper, “Scenario: You’re on a boat in the middle of the ocean with your wife and your child — a young child. Both of them get lodged into the water…” and before she could even finish, Waka replied, “My wife.”

Although Waka is currently single without any biological children of his own, he did help raise his stepdaughter with his ex-wife Tammy Rivera, while they were dating and during their marriage between 2014-2022.

Well, let’s just say when this clip hit the internet, it generated so many more reactions, with some people agreeing with their takes and others passionately choosing the opposing option:
