Waka Flocka Flame, he’s honored to be speaking to the kids, and plans to let them know how proud folks are of them for graduating despite a rough and very abnormal year.

The charter school’s executive director, LaShaun Jackson, tells TMZ … Waka’s the right speaker for this graduating class because he’s a success story from the streets, and his life has been all about overcoming adversity.

Remember, Waka got a lifetime achievement award for his charitable efforts before former president Donald Trump left office … and in October he got his honorary doctorate degree in philanthropy and humanitarianism from the Bible Institutes of America.

Waka tells us his message during the June 21 ceremony will be about continuing to push, climb and strive for greatness … something Jackson says will resonate with and inspire the grads.
