I read earlier that Wyclef was supposed to be working with the current basketcase that is Amanda Bynes on some music — which he quickly refuted….no need to even read further on that — and I thought it was humorous for the moment. Now, Waka Flocka claims that he will be overseeing her project. From TMZ:

Waka — who runs Brick Squad Monopoly records — tells us, the deal hasn’t been signed yet but it’s basically in the bag … in fact, he’s already hired people to start penning Amanda’s songs.

Waka says he and Amanda FaceTime at least once a week and text every day — mostly about her rap career … but also about motivational stuff, like “keeping her head up from the haters.”

Waka tells us the album will be called “Shots” — adding, “It’s going to be crazy hot.” So far, there’s no projected release date.

As for whether Waka thinks there’s something a little off about Amanda … he said, “Not at all. She has it all together to me. She is cool as hell and ready for the rap world. I think she is going to kill the game.”

And just to make sure it’s a success … Waka says he’ll be featured on several of Amanda’s songs as well.

What do I think? I think that Waka found himself a possible one-way ticket to mainstream America….and maybe celebrity sex. But who am I to know?

Judging from a recent update to this post, Waka Flocka still isn’t on very good terms with Gucci Mane. Recently, La Flare spoke to XXL about working things out with his still contractually obligated artist, and in a new interview with FADER (read it in its entirely here) he speaks more on the issue.

You’ve said you’d like to work things out with Waka, and that you’ll release a Brick Squad album this summer. Will Waka appear on that album?
He’ll definitely be on the album, just because we’ve recorded so much material to date that we were planning to put on the Brick Squad album anyway. So no matter if we work things out or not, whether he drops his next album on 1017 Brick Squad or Brick Squad Monopoly or however the situation works out, he definitely will be on the Brick Squad album. Those songs are already recorded. And we’re gonna push forward and try to let him drop the next three albums that he’s contracted to drop on my label. Cause at the end of the day it’s still business. I pride myself on being a great businessman and I think he’ll honor what he committed to and we’ll push forward.

Do you think you and Waka will be friends in the future?
I hope so. This isn’t the first time that me and Waka been at odds with each other. We always work it out. This is like the sixth or seventh time. I don’t see no difference between this and the last one.

In the second clip of Waka Flocka’s Combat Jack interview, we get to hear his thoughts on his current relationship with Gucci Mane and Nicki Minaj……but mainly Gucci:

“I don’t know what secret feelings that man got,” Waka says. “From my personal opinion it gotta be jealousy or envy or something.”

Gucci has taken some shots on Twitter against his former protege. “I heard he said his Twitter got hacked,” Waka says in response. “I guess God hacked it.”
