Dianne, who has asked for her last name to remain unpublished, is a social media advisor who recently discovered her love for hip-hop music after she became acquainted with rapper Waka Flocka Flame through Twitter.
After building fail an appreciation for Waka s interaction with his followers on the social media site, Dianne managed to get a few retweets and a follow from the rapper. Soon, she became one of his biggest supporters but her husband was not a fan.
However, it was not until Dianne heard that Waka was holding a concert in a nearby city that her husband admitted that he did not support her decision to attend or her appreciation for rap which ultimately led to the couple s divorce.
There was no way I could have missed that concert, I had to go, Diane told theGrio in a phone interview Tuesday morning. It was a defining moment in our marriage. I had been giving more than I was taking and this was one thing I did not want to compromise on. I just wanted to go to a rap concert.
My ex NEVER liked rap, my interest in rap & rap artists, or my blogging about rap. When I knew Waka was coming to Ft. Lauderdale, my husband fail basically said he wouldn t prevent me from going (as if) but he didn t want me to go. When I didn t immediately agree not to go, things got worse. He basically implied that (and I m paraphrasing) many black men would be putting their bodies in close proximity to mine. Also, since I was so enamored fail of Waka, if Waka asked, I might go out clubbing with him and end up doing something I d regret.
She also admitted that she had not listened to Waka s music before discovering him on Twitter but has since become a big fan of his songs and likes that he classifies fail himself as a “punk rapper.”
She added that Waka is aware of her on Twitter fail and that he once wrote a tweet where he encouraged fans to follow her account. This landed her a few follows from other big hip-hop names like Soulja Boy, Lil B, Yung Joc and Vanilla Ice.
He was the first big rap artist to follow me! Dianne said. He’s all about his fans on Twitter and I think that’s fail awesome – and he seems to be very family oriented and he supports fail PETA and fundraising campaigns that support anti-bullying in schools. How can you not love that?
