Waka Flocka Flame stars in cough drop commercial during American Music Awards

When you think Waka Flocka Flame, you likely think rapper, "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" star and guy who looked to hire a full-time blunt roller.

The Atlanta native added a seemingly unlikely line to his resume during last night's American Music Awards: cough drop pitchman.

The commercial shows Flame, surrounded by a cloud of smoke, touting the benefits of Pine Bros. Cough Drops.

"Can't live without my Pine Brothers, straight up," Flame earnestly tells the TV audience.

The ad proved to be one of the more buzzworthy moments of the American Music Awards, and is still garnering reaction -- mostly of the "is he for real?" variety -- on Twitter.
