Waka Flocka Launches Anti-Bullying Campaign

Last night (Tuesday January 25, 2012) Atlanta based hip hop artist Waka Flocka Flame and SEA Brand Clothing company launched a custom Brick Squad Monopoly snapback hat to support Waka Flocka’s new anti-bullying campaign. The launch party was held at Wish Boutique in Little 5 points to help raise awareness to the plague of children being bullied in schools across the country. Waka, who allowed his fans to choose a cause for him to support through his #wakanewyear initiative, will donate 25 percent of all sales from the custom hat to The Pacer’s National Bullying Prevention Center.

Good Look Waka!!!

Check out a video recap and interview with Waka Flocka from the event:
