NFL star Russell Wilson has found an unexpected supporter in rapper Waka Flocka Flame. Wilson has faced criticism from some who question how his good-guy image led him to marry a powerful woman like Ciara. Many have mocked him for being “square” and “lame.” Recently divorced Waka Flocka Flame has voiced his opinion on this matter, defending Russell Wilson against those who judge him.
Russell Wilson’s track record appears untarnished. He began his NFL career in 2012 with his then-wife, Ashton Meem, but their marriage ended in divorce in 2014 for undisclosed reasons. He later won the heart of Ciara, the “Goodies” hitmaker, who had experienced heartbreak in her previous relationship with rapper Future, leaving her a single mother.
Ciara’s past relationships with rappers like Bow Wow and 50 Cent led to curiosity about her choice of Russell Wilson, seen by many as quite different from her “usual type.” Russell embraced his good-boy image and used it to become one of the most beloved NFL players. In 2020, he was named the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year for his COVID-19 relief efforts and the establishment of a charter school, among other charitable activities. Russell and Ciara’s philanthropic work earned them accolades and the foundation they started, the “Why Not You Foundation,” received a $250,000 award from the Walter Payton organization. Speaking about the honor, Russell emphasized the importance of making a positive impact in one’s sphere of influence.
Russell also received the Action/Bart Starr Award in the same year, recognized for his exceptional character both on and off the field. Despite his numerous awards and Super Bowl victory, he still faces criticism. He is a nine-time Pro Bowl winner with 24 career touchdowns. However, many people, especially men, question his worthiness of Ciara due to her history of dating more “rugged” individuals. Notable critics include Channing Crowder and even Ciara’s ex, Future, who mentioned Russell and Ciara in his songs and parodied their relationship in a music video.
Charlamagne Tha God defended Russell Wilson on Channing Crowder’s show, stating he would let his daughters date someone like him. When all the men on the show agreed, Channing retorted, “yeah, but we don’t want to hang out with him.”
Waka Flocka, who has experience as a father figure to his wife Tammy Rivera’s daughter, shared his perspective on social media. He criticized those who constantly criticize Russell Wilson, suggesting that they are doing it for attention and that Russell and his family are happy. Waka Flocka’s comment prompts a question: Is it fair for men to repeatedly attack Russell Wilson for simply doing the right thing?
