Waka Flocka Flame and Richard Sherman share a few common characteristics. They're both 6'3". They both have dreads. And they both keep getting confused for one another. It just happened earlier this week, as well as last December, as well as probably dozens of other times where it wasn't cataloged on the internet. Because of this, Sherman was asked by GQ what it was like to have the rapper constantly mixed up with him (and vice versa) and in doing so related an entirely new story about some confused partiers in Cabo San Lucas:

Have you seen these stories about Waka Flocka Flame being confused for you? What's your take on it?
Oh, it's pretty funny, man. He texted me the other day about it. I just think it's funny. We hung out in Cabo one night, and he left, and then later people came up to me and were like, "Oh, I thought you left. I saw you walk out." It's one of those things you just have a good time with.

It also presents an interesting opportunity for each man to experience a different career path: 

Yeah, you can go out there and perform a little bit before people realize it's not him.
Yeah. Actually we should switch that and let him play corner for the Seahawks for a game or two."
