(Video) Waka Flocka’s Mom Speaks Out About Cyber Bullying After Son’s Tragic Suicidal Death
On last night’s episode of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, Debra Antney (Waka Flocka Flame’s mother) spoke out about cyber bullying after her son, Kayo Redd, committed suicide back in December. On the show, Antney stopped by a local Atlanta radio station Streetz 94.5 to speak out on her program called No Reckless Internet Posting (No R.I.P.) “When you gossip and spread rumors and recklessly post about people’s lives, you are speaking death – killing their spirits, killing their reputations, killing their relationships, killing their hope and so much more,” says Waka’s mother. Check out exactly what she had to say below. May you rest in paradise, Kayo! (And everyone else who lost their lives to cyber bullying.)

I think that internet bullying and bullying in general is the worst. Im a victim of both and I went through a lot and my heart goes out to waka flocka family. Im a mother of three and I couldn’t imagine what I would do when I lose one of mines. But her courage and voice is my inspiration to help myself and others.
Internet bullying is despicable bullying period is hurtful people bully other because they have no joy of there own. They don’t no what people go through at there homes or what They been through internet bullying needs to stop because deep deep inside it does hurts and people hurt themselves because of words. I’m so sorry to hear about your son Kayo I wish the best to you and your son waka kayo is in a better place with the father Jesus Christ and he is looking down crying because he indeeds love his mother, and his brother he see that we are trying to make a change.
This is a serious tragedy, my heart continues to go out to Waka’s Mother, Wife and to him. I could not imagine thw pain you guys are and will continue to go through. I am a firm believer of putting a stop to bullying. Itis definitely a problem whether it is in person or through the internet. I am a young Entrepreneur who is now seeking a non profit or maybe even start my own so I can be a part of bullying in general. We have to make a change and maybe others will follow.

Hello to #DebraAntney first and foremost and my regards goes out to u and ur’s. I’m so glad tht I was able to catch up on the that episode of #Love & #HipHopAtlanta I’m so overwhelmed with what happen to #kayo and I was just so full of tears. For the simple fact that I once was a victim of bullying but I overcame it not only that I’m a 33’yr old male I’ve been battling #SickleCell all my life and me trying to make it to persue my dream of being able to just land one principal in doing movie extras and music videos. I was told I can’t do it because I’m sick but if T-Boz can do it and a few other celebrities can do it so can I. But my point in all this bein said is that like I said I have a #DISEASE that keeps me in pain from time to time but I’m still normal I can still do mostly anything like anyone else. Not only that sometimes the pain is so excruciating to the point where I’m really starting to hate having this disease and to top it off going to the hospital makes it no better at all. For the simple fact that it’s a county hospital and I have to see so many diff doctors I miss having a primary physician I’m so tired of these Dr.s doing what they want to me and treating so poorly one min and then the next it’s like they treat me ok but mostly poorly. It’s now getting to the point it eats at me more and more now the more I have to go to the hospital and get treated the way I do at times as well as the lack of support that I have its all starting to make me feel like doing things that I don’t think of doing I’m not a #SUICIDAL person at all. But just as I get older the worst it gets to me and I’m a proud single father that loves kids I take care of my eleven year old son also my 15’Month old neice been taking care of her since my brother was killed last year on 6-10-13 he was shot and killed three months after she was born and I’ve been taking care of her since that day on now. I usually look to my kids for happiness and it seems that’s not really working anymore and I really don’t want to be a #SUICIDALVICTIM but the pressure is really weighing on me kinda heavy and I really wish there was a cure for this illness. I’ve been through gall stone surgery,walking pneumonia,acute chest syndrome something we usually don’t live through but I pulled through with having all the other complications I still made it then ended up having a stroke that sent me into a coma pronounced dead then resuscitated and yet I’m still here I just would like to brace and have one second to speak to Debra Antney just to get more of an incite on OR shld say maybe she can help me in my situation so that Hello to #DebraAntney first and foremost and my regards goes out to u and ur’s.
