Waka Flocka Flame plays nice and naughty activist in two different “Ink Not Mink” ads for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals aimed to discourage people from wearing real fur.

In both the G-rated and NSFW version (shown below), the ad reads, “Be comfortable in your own skin. Let animals wear theirs.”

As a child, Flocka grew up with a lot of animals–dogs, iguanas, lizzards.

Waka Flocka Flame‘s anti fur ad for PETA is set for release soon and Rumor Fix got an exclusive behind the scenes interview and footage from the shoot.

Basically, Waka is stripping down to nothing but a gold necklace, but Rumor Fix will only show the G-rated version. Darn those wholesome, family values-carrying reporters!

After researching what PETA stands for, Waka agreed that doing an “Ink Not Mink” ad that shows off his tattoos to promote not wearing fur was perfect way for him to make a statement about his love for animals, which includes a family dog that was named after his mother, Rose Antney.

“I don’t want anybody to beat my dog, scare my dog or whip my dog,” Waka said.

Waka Flocka Flame plans to show the world he’s not down with fur once his PETA “Ink Not Mink” anti-fur ad is unveiled.

As it turns out, Waka always wears his own skin. This guy is fur AND leather free.

From Sohh:

“He wasn’t shy about agreeing to go naked to bring attention to the fur industry,” Cho revealed in an interview. “We’re all huge fans of his music — I did some research online and I didn’t see any photos of him wearing fur. PETA reached out to him with a request to start our ‘Ink Not Mink’ campaign, and come to find out, Waka doesn’t even wear leather.”

Activist ladies, be on the lookout for another male getting naked in the name of animal welfare.

Waka Flocka Flame, southern hip-hop and rap artist best known for his single, “No Hands,” will launch an anti-fur ad with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals later this month.

“Animals should be treated the same as you would a kid,” Waka told XXL. “Would you want someone just to walk up and skin your kid? Hell no!”

Lately, lots of Y chromosome-bearing people have been taking their clothes off in the “Ink No Mink” ads that emphasize their tattoos instead of fur, including Willis McGahee and Chad Ochocinco.
