Waka Flocka Flame and es- tranged wife, Tammy.
According to PageSix, Waka’s lawyer said a jury has found his client not guilty of handgun charges that the rap- per was hit with after security at an Atlanta airport found a concealed biscuit on his carry- on bag back in October of 2014.
Waka Flocka Flame just dodged a hot one in court.
After four days of argu- ments, Drew Findling said the Clayton County jury took less than 30 minutes last Thursday (Mar. 9) to find his client not guilty.
According to Findling, Waka’s winning defense cen- tered around the notion that Flame had taken his wife’s bag to the airport without knowing the gun was stashed in it.

JORDAN PEELE
After they had a falling out on “Basketball Wives L.A.” two reality star foes will meet again on VH1.
Much to Shaunie O’Neal’s dismay, Brandi Maxiell is returning to the VH1 show after producers originally cleaned house on the program.
The new season will feature Brandi alongside her (fired & rehired) bestie Malayasia Pargo, Tami Roman and original cast member, Eve- lyn Lozada.
According to TheJasmine- Brand despite Shaunie O’Neal trying to keep Brandi off the show for the last two seasons, producers think “they need what Brandi brings.”
Brandi’s needed because the show’s two new cast members: Nick Young’s baby mama Keonna Green and Dwyane Wade’s baby mama Aja Metoyer, aren’t “bringing it” and refuse to slam their famed baby’s fa- thers on camera.
