As previously reported, 18-year-old Charlie jumped to Waka’s defense after he shared a boo’ed up photo. Taking to The Shade Room’s Instagram comment section, she asked folks to leave her father alone.

“Leave my father alone he is happy and my mother is happy both in separate relationships,” Charlie wrote.

Though Waka Flocka has no biological children, he has remained a father figure to Charlie throughout his on-and-off-again relationship with Tammy. Her request for fans came after Waka himself requested respect for his and his ex’s lives.

“If y’all really loved me and Tammy respectfully can y’all respect our personal [lives],” he wrote in TSR’s comment section.

So, Who Is Tammy Rivera’s New Man?

While Waka moved to make things Instagram official, Tammy has not reacted to her daughter sharing her business!

A scroll through the reality TV star’s Instagram feed shows no signs of a bae. In fact, her posts dating back to January 2023 include mostly photos of herself, her daughter Charlie, and outings solo and with friends.

However, since Waka’s announcement, fans have been flooding her comment sections. Some have requested she comment on Waka’s new lady, while others have offered comfort amid the dating news. But others are urging Tammy Rivera to also drop her new romance on the ‘gram.

Her latest post, which came amid the announcement, features her and Charlie and her niece at the ‘Mean Girls’ premiere.

There, fans commented:

“We love you Tammy. I just think its really sad that you changed @wakaflocka into a better man so that in the end he cheated on you and is in a new relationship… So everything you taught him he will apply with another woman. We gonna respect yall private life but danm yall was perfect together aint gon lie. If the both of yall are happy well .. thats all matters,” @asyydfh wrote.

@bighomie_36 wrote, “Where is he?”

@mz_imstillstandingrob added, “How do you feel about Waka’s new girl?”

Under another of Tammy’s posts, fans kept the same energy.

@_wzonemira said, “Tam, sorry to bother but man I wish you and Waka couldve rekindle he over there with a stranger.”

@ms.brittanybabe challenged, “Tammy you have til 12 to drop yo n***a!”

@neliise_ reassured Tammy, saying, “You’ll always be the prettiest he’ll ever touch!”

@myasmom92 added, “Your turn. That’s it. That’s the comment.”

One thing about Tammy Rivera, she’s already pre-warned folks that she doesn’t “care” about what people say. Speaking to The Sun last September, she reportedly said she was single and focused on happiness.

“I just want peace, happiness and have a peace of mind, that means everything to me truly,” Tammy said.

When she and Waka split in 2022 after eight years of marriage, Tammy told fans they remained on good terms. It’s unclear if that’s still the case and how his new bae fits into that friendship!
