  • Waka Flocka Flame Mourns Brother’s Death, Their Mother Debra Antney Speaks Out

    Sunday, Dec. 29 was a tragic day for Atlanta-based rapper Waka Flocka Flame. It was reported that the “No Hands” rapper’s younger brother Kayo Redd had died.

    Redd, whose real name is Caodes Scott, was found dead at his home in Henry County, GA.

    According to TMZ, law enforcement officers have stated that they do not suspect foul play, and suicide is the likely cause of death.

    But, there are conflicting reports as to how the aspiring rapper actually died. So, the nature of his death is currently unclear.

    Some media outlets have stated that Redd was killed, while others report that he committed suicide.

    Flocka, himself, also tweeted that his brother committed suicide. In the message, he tweeted, “My F****** Lil Brother Killed Hisself F**** Lifeee.”  However, the post was quickly removed.

    Flocka’s ‘momager’, Mizay Entertainment owner Debra Antney took to Twitter to confirm the death of her son.

    According to MTV, this is actually the second immediate loss the 28-year-old rapper and his mother have endured. Antney also suffered the loss of another son who died in a car accident at the age of 13.

    The rapper also tweeted later that day mourning the devastating loss of his brother. The “Round of Applause” rapper shared a Flipagram link with an assortment of pictures he compiled to commemorate the life of his brother.

    According to Funkmaster Flex’s hip hop blog, In Flex We Trust, Antney broke her silence yesterday in regards to her son’s death. She shared her final moments with him, and even revealed his possible reasons for the apparent suicide.

    “He had just left my house and he headed down the street and the next thing I knew was my son was dead,” said Antney. “My son was a good kid and I never had any problems with him,” she said.

    Antney, who fought back tears throughout the phone conversation, revealed that her son battled with the fact that he couldn’t provide for her financially as his older brother does. “I just don’t know why he would do such a thing?” It’s so, so sad…and truly goes to show that you NEVER know what someone is going through.”

    Kayo Redd was also an upcoming Atlanta rapper. Over the summer, he released his latest mixtape Redd Kisses. Redd was signed to Bricksquad Monopoly Records, which is owned and operated by Waka Flocka Flame.

    Other members of Bricksquad also expressed their condolences for the fallen rapper. Although Waka Flocka and rapper Gucci Mane have had their differences, he also tweeted his condolences.

    Redd’s official autopsy report should be released sometime later this week.

  • Kayo Redd, Brother of Waka Flocka, Dies

    Kayo Redd, the younger brother of rapper Waka Flocka Flame, reportedly died of a gunshot wound on Sunday. No confirmation of his death by gunshot wound has been officially announced. Some rumors say he was shot by someone else, while other rumors claim he died by suicide. The aspiring rapper’s death was confirmed, however, by his mother via social media.

    Debra Antney, mom to both Kayo Redd and Waka Flocka, took to social media to announce her son’s passing. This is the second time Antney has lost a child. She lost another son in a car crash back when Waka was just 13 years old.

    Losing a child has to be the greatest anguish any parent can endure. For Debra Antney to have now lost two sons tragically is practically unfathomable. The grief she is experiencing is no doubt excruciating. Hopefully she is surrounded by close family members and friends who will sustain her during this current devastation.

    Kayo Redd was known for two mixtapes–Red Kisses and YNS 2: Full Time Grind, released in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

    Debra Antney once managed Nicki Minaj, who reached out with her words of condolence, along with a picture of Kayo Redd via Instagram.

    “Devastated by the loss of this precious soul… Always so sweet to me… I cant even… Sending prayers and all my love to Deb, Waka, Wooh, Quam, Big Joe, Bimmy, the entire fam… Gone too soon Kayo… Gone way too soon,” Minaj wrote.

    Updates will surely confirm shortly the actual way Kayo Redd died, however what remains certain is that another young rapper has died much too soon. Condolences are no doubt pouring in from all around the world to both Debra Antney and Waka Flocka over the untimely passing of their beloved son and brother.

  • Waka Flocka Flame’s Brother Dies In Atlanta

    Shortly after the holiday season, Waka Flocka Flame is mourning the death of his younger brother. On Sunday, December 30, it was confirmed that Kayo Redd had died in his Atlanta home. Conflicting reports surround the cause of his death. Some say Kayo was shot, and others point to suicide, however TMZ reports that there was no foul play involved.

    Waka’s mother Deb Antney was the first to confirm the death, via Twitter. She tweeted: “I just lost another son.” Waka’s other brother Caodes was killed in a car accident when he was only 13-years-old. Antney previously talked about how Caodes’ death had impacted Waka, during a 2010 interview with Vibe magazine.

    “Since my son died, that’s when [Waka] flipped. He hated everything dealing with school because my son, his death was a sneak out the house to go help a kid with his homework before his father came home so the kid wouldn’t get a beating. Waka told him to go, he’ll cover for him. So [when he was biking home and killed by a car] Waka blamed hisself. He feels very responsible for my son’s death—that’s what flipped him out,” Antney said.

    Waka tweeted, “God please bless me.” He later tweeted, “Ya Big Brother love you Kayo,” along with a slideshow of pictures of him and his brother.

    An autopsy will be completed within the next couple of days to determine the actual cause of death.
