What Happened Between Waka Flocka and Tammy Rivera?
According to reports, Waka Flocka and Tammy Rivera (@charliesangelll) ran and secretly married.

However, Flocka’s habit of cheating on several occasions began to have a negative effect on the marriage, according to Distractify. The couple eventually separated in 2016, but reconciled in 2019.
Again, rumors of their separation started floating in 2021, when the couple stopped sharing social media posts with one other. Many people hoped that, despite their decision to split up in March 2022, they would be able to work things out. However, Tammy later announced in an Instagram Live that she and Waka had permanently separated.
While it was assumed that the separation was caused by Flocka’s infidelity, Rivera came forward to admit her own role in their marital problems while denying any cheating allegations. Tammy also stated how the pandemic in 2020 negatively impacted her relationship with Waka at the time. She explained,
I think after COVID, you know, we always, we had time to self-reflect, you get what I’m saying.
Rivera also admitted that she had to accept some responsibility for the end of their marriage. She stated that her overwhelming attention on her career occasionally led to her disregarding her responsibilities as a wife, causing distance in their relationship.
