It's been a rough month for Waka. On December 16th, his home in Atlanta was raided by authorities searching for weapons and guns. His associate Gucci Mane and mother Deb Antney were detained during the search. Antney, who manages both rappers, has denied that the raid is related to the allegation that she is the ringleader of a prostitution ring.
