"Not for promo. Not for comedy and damn sure not for a f**king challenge. Where’s the be a real man challenge it’s like being feminine a wave please stay [WOKE]."

An example of many of the challenges, display two people, one male, one female standing in a mirror near a light switch.

When Drake raps "I just hit the switch," the male and female change clothes and switch to be each other.

Many fans took offence to Waka's views, labelling him "toxic" and "homophobic" as the challenge can be considered to be going against traditional masculinity ideas.

One fan wrote "Toxic masculinity is at an all time high. Waka Flocka slammed men for dressing in women’s clothing for comedy by participating in the Flip The Switch challenge with their girlfriends."

1) @WakaFlocka you don’t have to convince anyone you’re homophobic. We know.
2) you are the only one talking about a “flip the switch challenge”
3) I’m so tired of you and @Tip talking about being “REAL MEN”. If only you had the same energy about being faithful.
4) WE dont want U
