Earlier this week, Waka Flocka Flame announced his partnership with PETA. Waka Flocka has been trying to separate himself from the other rappers for some time. His eccentric style has made him stick out, but his next move will definitely bring publicity.

Waka Flocka Flame will be a part of PETA's "Ink not Mink" movement. The rapper will be sharing the spotlight with several mainstream stars. Lady GaGa, Pink!, and Mariah Carey are also a part of the campaign. Flocka feels animals should be treated like kids.

The 1017 Brick Squad leader is so serious about the animal's rights movement that he is willing to go nude. When asked about doing a nude ad for PETA, Waka Flocka Flame quickly agreed. The representatives for PETA said they loved his music.

Most importantly, they searched all of his public photos and did not see him wearing any fur in any of his pictures.

T.I. lands Eminem and Lady GaGa for "King Uncaged"

Today has been a great day for T.I., as he continues to work on his latest album, King Uncaged. Earlier today, he released the second single from the album, "Yeah, Ya Know (Takers)." The song features Chris Brown and it will be on the soundtrack of their new film, Takers. Having been out of the spotlight for a while, T.I. is aggressively reclaiming what was his.

Frequently, T.I. compares his album to the classic album released by Tupac Shakur in 1996, All Eyez on Me. Tupac released the album after his time behind bars in 1995. Many people saw that album as the ultimate back from jail album. Using this as his goal, T.I. plans to outdo All Eyez on Me with King Uncaged. Like Tupac, T.I. hopes to have multiple guests on the album.

Until now, nothing has been set in stone as far as collaborations go on King Uncaged. However, recently T.I. decided to join forces, once again, with Eminem. The two collaborated in 2007 on T.I.'s T.I. vs. T.I.P. album on the "Touch Down" track. For the first time in three years, the two will be doing a song together. Aside from landing Eminem for the album, T.I. has reached out to Lady GaGa for an experimental track.

T.I. plans to released King Uncaged towards the end of the summer on Grand Hustle and Atlantic Records.
