The rapper announced on Twitter that his long-time struggle to be released from Atlantic Records has finally come to an end.

We caught up with Waka Flocka Flame on at the BET Hip Hop Awards at the Atlanta Civic Center, where he was very excited about the release of his debut album, "Flockaveli." He also talked about the Eddie Long spoof of "No Hands" by the Durtty Boyz' and addressed his appearance on BET's 106 and Park, where he didn't come off as the brightest bulb in the room.

Ra Diggs, a Brooklyn rapper in a group with Uncle Murda and Waka Flocka Flame, has been arrested and charged in a federal indictment for dealing drugs out of the Gowanus housing project since 2008.

Waka Flocka Flame marked a career milestone today with the release of his debut album Flockaveli. But the Brick Squad emcee also has his sights set on achieving a surprise pairing with Queensbridge legend Nas.
