Waka Flocka Flame Siblings: Meet the Siblings Squad Behind the American Rapper
May 10, 2025
Juaquin James Malphurs, known to the world as Waka Flocka Flame, is an American rapper born on May 31, 1986, in South Jamaica, Queens, New York City.
Raised primarily in Riverdale, Georgia, by his mother, Debra Antney—a prominent talent manager and CEO of So Icey/Mizay Entertainment—Waka Flocka grew up surrounded by the music industry.
His stage name, coined by his cousin after the Muppets character Fozzie Bear’s catchphrase “Wocka Wocka” and later expanded with “Flocka Flame” by mentor Gucci Mane, reflects his vibrant persona.
Initially uninterested in music, Waka Flocka pursued basketball before being drawn into rap through his mother’s connections and Gucci Mane’s influence.
Siblings
Waka Flocka Flame is the third of five children born to Debra Antney, raised in a tight-knit family marked by both creativity and profound loss.
He has four biological brothers—Wooh Da Kid, KayO Redd, Rahleek Malphurs, and Tyquam Alexander—and three adoptive sisters, though less is known about the latter.
Wooh Da Kid, born Nyquan Malphurs on February 23, 1985, is a rapper signed to Mizay Entertainment and a member of the 1017 Brick Squad, like his brother.
He has released tracks such as “Dope Head” and “Everything Bricksquad,” carving out his own space in the music industry.
KayO Redd, born Coades Scott, was an aspiring rapper who tragically died by suicide on December 29, 2013, at age 27.
