Atlanta rapper Waka Flocka was called out for allegedly posting a fake photo of his bruised face on social media. The post claimed that Waka, real name Juaquin Malphurs, 38, was attacked by a group of 10 people.
But the image he posted shows what appears to be stage makeup around his eyes.
The photo has prompted speculation that Waka Flocka posted a fake image for sympathy.
Some of his followers expressed sympathy for the aging rapper. But others criticized him for running to social media to complain that people didn’t help him in a fist fight.

One fan wrote: “Sad bro going this far just for some attention. Ni**a is 2025, if 10 ppl really jumped you, where’s the video? You don’t think ppl would record beating up Waka Flocka? lol come on now.”
Others implied that Waka may have been jumped because of his political affiliation with President-elect Donald Trump.
One person wrote: “Was this at a Trump rally?”
Someone else wrote: “He got jumped by 10 dudes and that’s all he look like?”
