This was a close one.

Back in October 2014, Waka Flocka found himself in hot water after getting caught carrying a loaded gun into the airport in Atlanta.

The rapper was previously a convicted felon, a detail holding the potential to create an extra headache for himself. Luckily for Waka, he has since been acquitted of the 2014 gun charge, thanks solely to his wife, Tammy Rivera.

According to the report, the Clayton County jury decided Thursday (Mar. 9) that Waka was not guilty, reportedly arriving at the verdict in less than 30 minutes.
