WAKA FLOCKA FLAME’S SOCIAL MEDIA PROFILE RISES AFTER AD
NEW YORK (AP) _ Waka Flocka Flame has gotten 7.3 million visits to his Facebook page in the 24 hours after his Pine Brothers cough drops ad ran during the American Music Awards Sunday. His team tells the New York Post the ad has been shared 45-thousand times. Waka says he thinks it’s pretty great everyone is talking about his moment during the AMAs when he wasn’t even at the show. The ad shows Waka in a smoke-filled room talking about using the drops for minor throat irritation. A Pine Brothers spokesman says N-B-C and C-B-S banned the commercial, and he adds, “They’re in the Stone Age, because there is nothing offensive about the ad.”
