Waffle House rapper fired after viral rap video filmed on shift
TL;DR
Edric Riley, known as Rockstar Riley, was fired from a Sandy Springs Waffle House after a customer-recorded rap video shot in uniform went viral; Riley says he worked there for 20 years and even eyed an official commercial, but the chain cited repeated policy violations—filming on company property for personal promotion without authorization—and warnings to delete posts wearing the uniform. He has since started a GoFundMe and says he would be open to future opportunities with Waffle House.
