During a recent interview with HipHopDX, Waka Flocka opened up about the viral clip of him thinking that an ASL interpreter was simply a woman getting down at his show. According to him, he realized that she was more than just an eager fan immediately after the concert. Luckily, he was able to learn a lot from the deaf community as a result of the incident, making it an overall enlightening experience for the rapper.
“[I realized it was a sign language interpreter] right after the concert,” he told the outlet. “Yo, shout out to the deaf community as well man. We actually got a movie coming in the ESPY Awards. We definitely got some sh*t coming. I love that community, by the way. Because that community taught me a lot. Now I know how to get around people that speak other languages.”
