Apparently, presidential candidate Waka Flocka Flame, who gained mixed reactions upon launching his candidacy is not at all legitimate to run for the presidential bid.
Not only does the former "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" cast carries "multiple felonies" with his name, his age also makes it impossible for him to become a legitimate presidential candidate.
According to US Gov Info, "One must also be at least 35 years of age to be president. John F. Kennedy was the youngest person to be elected president; he was 43 years old when he was inaugurated in 1961. There is no maximum age limit set forth in the Constitution.Ronald Reagan was the oldest president; at the end of his term in 1988, he was nearly 77."
The 28-year-old Juaquin James Malphurs aka Waka Flocka Flame, who was born and race in Atlanta Georgia, launched his campaign during an interview with Rolling Stone last April 20.
"I'm very pleased to announce today on 4/20, the best day of the year, I will be running for president," he said in his interview with Rolling Stone. "The first thing I'm going to do when I get into office is legalize marijuana."
As per VH1, the following are Waka Flocka Flame's "presidential initiatives:"
- Legalization of marijuana - "presidential kush"
- No dogs in restaurants
- No one with size 13 feet + is allowed to walk in public (feet too big, y'all)
- Education (and all the kids have to learn his lyrics, natch)

And while his fans are thrilled about his Waka Flocka Flame announcing his presidential candidacy, the famous rapper received criticism as reported by FDRMX.
"Pundits agree that Waka's video was annoying. Although, the rap artist has spent a fair amount of time on reality television, so he might have certain skills that one imagines might come in handy in political office.
Waka Flame has also been vocal about race problems in America, speaking volubly to the media about recent incidents in Baltimore and Oklahoma. Many artists and journalists with valuable commentary on these situations have complained that Waka, both in person and in his songs, sounds worse than a comedy skit from the "Chappelle Show" about awful rappers."
