In Waka Flocka Flame's 23 short years on earth, he's been jumped, hit in the head with a bottle at a club, struck with a baseball, toppled out of a tree and had bark lodged in his chin and had his head rammed into a steel gate. However, none of those instances can compare to a single bullet — Flocka was shot and robbed at an Atlanta car wash on January 19, by a man he still feels was sent to kill him.
"I'm like, 'I can't believe I'm shot,' " he said about the thoughts that raced through his head in the aftermath of the assault. "I felt it in my arm but I looked down and felt it in my chest, my back, everything. It felt like stop, drop and roll. I'm leaking, my arm squirting. I said, 'Call an ambulance.' I felt my body getting woozy. I laid down on a flat surface. That messed me up because that ain't do nothing but put air inside my lungs and blood. I ain't panic. I was like, 'F--- it, I'mma give up. This sh-- hurt so bad. I'm gonna give up.' "
Thankfully for Flame, it wasn't his time to die.
"My partna was like, 'Get up.' I said, 'N---a, I ain't dead — call an ambulance,' " Flocka remembered. "By the time I get up, he was like, 'N---a, you done peed on yourself.' I was like,' This ain't pee, this is blood.' I got in the ambulance, the [EMS attendant] was like, 'Lift up.' I'm like, 'Lift up? This hurts! You ever been shot before?' "
Waka gets a little more serious when talking about the bullet's path through his body — it went through his right arm, punctured his lungs, broke a couple of ribs and landed in his back, causing vision and memory loss for two weeks. He still feels pain in his injured arm and can't move the fingers on his right hand as freely as he did before.
"Give me a week, I'll probably be up and running," he said, optimistically.
Waka still can't understand why someone would want to kill him — he's just an up-and-coming rapper, and the neighborhood on Old National Highway where the incident occurred is one he frequents. However, he still maintains that the word he's hearing on the streets is that the gunman was sent to do more than just rob him.
As of press time, police have not yet named a suspect in the case.
MTV News will have much more from our exclusive interview with Waka Flocka Flame in the coming days.

Taylor Swift’s Grammy Performance Defended By Label CEO
'We had a volume problem in the ear,' Big Machine Records' Scott Borchetta says.

While fans and detractors are still in a heated debate over Taylor Swift's Grammy performance on Sunday night, Scott Borchetta, CEO of Swift's label Big Machine Records, is defending the Album of the Year winner's shaky vocals.
"She is the voice of this generation," Borchetta told The Associated Press of his artist, who won four Grammys on Sunday night. "She speaks directly to [her fans], and they speak directly back to her. This is not 'American Idol.' This is not a competition of getting up and seeing who can sing the highest note. This is about a true artist and writer and communicator. It's not about that technically perfect performance.
"It's that classic thing that critics do of building something up and then wanting to tear it down," he continued, noting that the criticism over the singer's duet with Stevie Nicks has become "just over the top."
Borchetta blames Swift's pitch problems on a technical issue that hadn't occurred during rehearsals. "We had a volume problem in the ear. So, she was concerned that she wasn't able to hear everything in the mix," he explained. "That's just part of live TV. ... So you're going to have difficulties on occasion. Unfortunately, on one of the biggest stages, we did have a technical issue. She couldn't hear herself like she had in rehearsal."
Borchetta added that even if critics aren't willing to forgive Swift for her public misstep, her fans are more than willing to overlook it. He pointed to her sold-out Fearless tour, which resumes next month, as proof.
"Am I going to ask [critics] to turn their heads? No, I don't need them to," he said. "If you haven't seen her live performance, you're welcome to come out as my guest to a Taylor Swift show and experience the whole thing, because it's amazing. You can see her in her element. There's a reason tickets are selling like they are."
