Rapper Waka Flocka Flame says he is "disgusted" and has canceled his upcoming performance at the University of Oklahoma after fraternity members there were filmed reciting a racist chant this weekend.
Members of the OU Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter were seen chanting about lynchings and using racist epithets in a video leaked online Sunday. The university and the national SAE fraternity have both taken action against the chapter, which has been closed on the Oklahoma campus.
In a statement posted to his Instagram account, Waka Flocka writes that he's "disgusted and disappointed in the actions of the SAE fraternity at the University of Oklahoma." The rapper was scheduled to perform at the school next month, but says in his statement that he is canceling the show.
"SMFH.. I know for a fact the whole school and SAE don't agree with those kids actions so know that I'm not madd at the whole #SAE just those disgusting kids!!!!!! #WFF We can't change history but we damn sure can create our own future #DeathToRacism," he writes in the Instagram caption.

Wow that must have been some big gig. If it hadn’t been for the video and the press that followed it, nobody would know what a wacka flocka is.
Yet, they were going to be allowed to play on a college campus. Says a lot about the state of our colleges and universities.
Paging Fozzie Bear...Waka, Waka, Waka!
Waka Flocka Flame
Hmm...what was that line from Straight Outta Compton? The one that rhymed with “every punk I smoke, yo, you know my rep gets bigger”?
If hes IT, hes negronic.
If shes hot, shes negrotic.
If hes a prince of a guy, hes negriffic
If hes vulgar hes negraphic.
If shes kind and generous, shes negracious.
If hes scary, hes negrominous
If shes rich, shes negropulent.
If he likes other black people, hes a negrophiliac.
If she has to iron her pants in the driveway...shes a negropotomus.
Torture for me would be having to attend a Waka Flocka Flame concert.
I’ll do the gig...bring the karaoke machine...call myself Bling Blang Blue...
“”All that said, I agree with him kicking the fraternity off campus. I just have a problem with the double standards and hypocrisy found on our college campuses.””
I couldn’t help but think of all the stories that have come out over the past 50 years or so about fraternity problems, only this gets ACTION taken against it. Rules are set up for the other problems but we know now what will really get someone’s attention...
Rappers’ obscenity, sexism, and racist words are allowed.
I wonder how a college president was going to allow such an offensive group to perform on campus.
“President Boren was going to allow Waka Flocka to perform on campus. If so, he allows obscenity, racist words, and sexism on Oklahoma’s campus.”
David Boren is a democrat, he’s for all the liberal crap.
David Boren is a democrat, hes for all the liberal crap.
I wish the media would ask him how he was going to allow them to perform on campus. I find it unbelievable that a state university would allows such obscenity, racist words, and sexism on their campus. He needs to answer but we know he won’t have to because of the media.
wacka jacka wagon
LOL! At least I could understand a little better what he was saying.
Wok A Flock of Seagulls just sounded wong.
Wata Kroka Krap can kiss my krak.
Real classy act. Another FReeper several threads ago suggested these SAE boys should have claimed they were just rehearsing a rap video as a defense. Too bad that kind of racism is just a one-way-street in the wonderful new rainbow world of Barky 0drama.
Quick,somebody write a rap song about black preachers, from the pulpit, calling my race “White Devils”.
He better not be related to WILLY WONKA
