It was only last week when Waka Flocka initiated beef with his former Brick Squad partner Gucci Mane by dropping the track “Was My Dawg.” Flocka even sat down for an interview with BBC Radio 1Xtra and took some jabs at Gucci, also stating he has no desire to work with Gucci Mane again.

Now in a recent video obtained by TMZ, Flocka explains that Gucci has not given enough credit to Flocka’s mother, artist manager Debra Antney, for jump-starting their respective careers. Antney has also served as the manager for Nicki Minaj, OJ Da Juiceman, French Montana and more. Check out the video here. Flocka told TMZ:

“My fans deserve for me to elaborate on why I went so hard at the person that “started my career.” To make the record straight, my mother started my career. My mother started Gucci’s career. My mother started Nicki’s career, [OJ Da] Juiceman’s career, French Montana’s career. Lex Luger as a producer. She molded us all.”
