Waka Flocka's been hyping Flockaveli 2 for years.

He's dropped cover art, teased guest features, mentioned dates and then raged against his record label Atlantic for not letting him release it.

Now he's saying all of that was a big head fake.

@WAKAFLOCKA SAYS HE IS PUTTING OUT A TON OF #NEWMUSIC IN #2017!! YOU GUYS HERE FOR IT?!

“Alright man, I’m back,” Waka said. “2017, I’m dropping mad new shht. I took three and a half years off making music. I don’t know, I apologize for lying like Flockaveli 2 knowing damn well I’m not gonna put it out. I was waiting for the right situation. I was just chilling, spending money – everybody asks me why I do so many shows, just to travel, just to see the world. I’m already rich. I love partying. The money’s good still. I learned don’t talk so hard on the camera.”

But it's still an odd lie (and an odd confession) about Flockaveli 2
