Waka Flocka Flame on Ownership: Why Atlanta Entrepreneurs Must Control the Infrastructure
Lessons on Equity, Assets, and Long-Term Wealth from Juaquin James Malphurs
Waka Flocka Flame, born Juaquin James Malphurs, has grown far beyond his hip-hop roots.
Today, he speaks openly about investing, business ownership, and the importance of building wealth that lasts.
In his appearance on Million Dollaz Worth of Game, Waka broke down why ownership is the real power move —
not just earning income, but controlling equity, infrastructure, and long-term assets.
Ownership Is the Real Flex
During the interview, Waka made it clear: success isn’t just about visibility — it’s about control.
“Own something. Don’t just work for something.”
That statement hits especially hard in Atlanta — one of the most influential entrepreneurial and cultural hubs in the country.
From creatives and media founders to tech startups and small business owners, ownership separates short-term hustle from long-term leverage.
