UPDATED 4:20 p.m. ET: Less than a day after he claimed he fought off ten people at once and survived with only minor injuries, Waka Flocka has now suggested he was lying.
In a since-deleted tweet, per XXL Magazine, the rapper wrote that no one reached out to him or his team to confirm the incident despite the words initially coming out of his mouth anyway. "Not a single media outlet that reported on my shit reached out to me or my team to confirm anything," he wrote. "They ran with a caption as they headline."
A follower chimed in to point out that he put out the information himself, and he replied by asking if they would believe any claim he threw out on social media.
"So if I put info out that I climbed Mount Everest and grew up with Elon Musk means it's [100 emoji]?" he wrote. "Would the media post it? Maybe Im just tryna help them get some clicks?" He also shared a video in which he said, "Crazy y'all n***as believed that shit."

Waka Flocka claims to have fought off 10 unknown individuals in an alleged incident on which he did not elaborate much further.
In an update to Threads, of all places, Flocka told fans he was “still standing” after the alleged fight. He also shared a photo of what appeared to be facial injuries, though he did not specify to what extent he was allegedly hurt.
“Can’t believe nobody helped me fight ten n***as off but I’m still standing,” he wrote on the Twitter-like platform, which launched back in the summer of 2023 under the larger Meta umbrella.
Flocka did not appear to have mentioned this alleged incident anywhere else on social media. In recent days, his IG activity saw him highlighting the “five qualities” of an ideal companion, as well as publicly pondering advice of the “paint whatever picture of me you want and hang that shit on the wall” variety.
Complex has reached out to a rep for Waka Flocka for comment. This story may be updated.
The last time social media-delivered remarks from Flocka made headlines, the focus was on speculation surrounding potentially imminent new music from the artist formerly known as Kanye West. While Flocka had predicted an album drop before year's end, seemingly in reference to Ye's previously announced Bully project, that did not happen.
As for Flocka’s own discography, his latest release is a feature on Tay Money’s “Donk 2.0” track from last October.
