Get the wanksta mug.
a fake, pop "gansta" e.g 50 cent. Pretends 2 be ruthless but contradicts himself 24/7. all dey do is talk shit but does very little crime
50 cent claims "Ja rule tries 2 be the new 2pac" when he trys to become 2pac himself. Acts like the da Al Capone of the rap game wen anybody with slight intelligence will kno he's a pussy.
Wankstas are ordinary people who try too hard to be the STEREOTYPICAL GANGSTER. Ja rule's also a Wanksta by the way.

Get the wanksta mug.
an ordinary faker choosing to pose as a gangsta; often a DORK who either doesn't understand what they want, or, more often, knows what they want but decides every day to ignore their reasonable wants and needs for the sake of appearing "cool" and "hard," which never works out for them in any way.

A person that pretends to be a banger but aint... It does not mean white gangster. White gangsters are commonly called wankstas yet wanksta simply means a person who is not accepted by the gang community.

This word was created by 50 Cent in the song "wanksta" calling Ja Rule a "waksta".A "wanksta" is a very basic word meaning a person who acts/looks like a gangster or thug, but has never done anything gangster or thug-like besides acting or looking like one. It can be towards any race or ethnicity. The word does NOT imply a WHITE guy acting black.
50 Cent is a GANGSTA

everyone already seems to know so screw it.
In the case of "50 cent" there seems to be some disagreement, however "Ja Rule", to be sure, is widely considered to be a prime grade Wanksta.
