Weeks after going at music mogul Jay Z's neck publicly, New York radio veteran Funkmaster Flex has provided an update on his standing with Young Hov.
In a new interview with GQ, Flex revealed his main issue with Jay stemmed from him attempting to reach out via an all-CAPS everything text message.
“I think sometimes people forget I have a rule if you’re an on-air personality or a rapper. You’re allowed to come at me three times. And I count them. One, all good. There’s two, all good. You ever notice, people never call me a bully? But I bait you, cause the first and second time, they go, “This dude’s soft. Flex is soft.” And the third time they go, “Oh my God, this guy is lashing out on me.”” (GQ)
Check out what else Funkmaster Flex said about the Hov feud on the next page…
Flex also assured concerned fans his feud with Hov was over but said he would be ready if things once again turned ugly.
“You know what? I’m past it if he’s past it. But—and you can go to print with this—should he say anything about me in an interview, I’m going to fire off that night. The choice is really his. I’m going to come 150. He only felt 100. He’ll feel 150. Any slick punch line, any slick interviews—we’re gonna do what we do. We’re gonna spar.” (GQ)
Funk Flex posted up a picture of what looked like a text message from Jay Z onto Instagram last month.
Days prior, Flex went off on Jay Z’s popular Life + Times lifestyle website.
“A couple years ago, dropped that DJ Funk Flex app. I get an email from a writer at Life + Times, the website. They want to talk to me about my digital involvement and write a story. First of all, I salute the young man who wrote the story. I appreciate the love, but bruh I’mma tell you something. I peeped back then when they was using a writer outside that did not work for the website. And that website is trash by the way. And I figured I’d say that trash so you take me serious on where I’m going. They do this interview after I drop my app. Asking me a lot of key questions about apps, building apps, how, why, how’d you launch it. But all of that didn’t get put in the story though. A lot of that information got put into that new Jay Z app.” (Hot 97)
is this supposed to be as funny as it is to me?!?!?! cmon son
Flex u really think them dudes got what it takes huh?
Really my G…never knew you earn enough points to be giving out a pass…
flex a clown.
Wow. I was just gonna type the same thing. lol.
Lol..
Some people feel so comfortable in their small world they don’t realize how small they are…
That’s hip hop. everybody thinks they are bigger then they actually are. Whitney Houston, The Beattles where big. Most of these hip hop dudes are not known outside of VH1 reality tv
Jay finna be yo boss though…
in my cris carter voice “come on maaannn* haha
Nas once called jay a taibo hoe. Hmm that was beginning of 2002 I think the man has had more than enough hands training to stick cup cake eating flex in his face. So I’m guessing flex just wants a beating so he can start court room preaching. (Lawsuit) we are a Loooooonnnnng way from 60 minutes of funk days sheesh. Anyway tahtah eat this fools food on call
flex a wanna hear my name type nigga grow the fuck up u old bird
Jay won’t talk to me.. Awwwe… Lmao
Flex really had a problem realizing how unimportant he is in the life of a person like Jay, Beyoncé, Kayne, R. Kelly, etc. I mean, if Jay says something, Flex is gonna do what? Get on the MIC, yell, growl and drop bombs in the background? Like Nas said “Negro, please!!l There used to be a time where an artist biggest goal was to be played in NY on HOT 97. That time doesn’t exist anymore. Nowadays these artist can afford to have their music playing NOT play on a specific station and STILL get spins elsewhere. Flex, you are a DJ. 97 don’t even trust you to be the Music Director, so even if you COULD avoide playing Jay’s songs on YOUR show, which I doubt, you STILL couldnt stop Jay’s music from being played on the station. Take this letter “L” and hang it out to dry along with your relevancy!!
Wait, maybe he will get Shit-Set…oops I meant Dip-Set, to diss Jay for him. Now Jay is REALLY scared. With Cam spitting rhymes about computers bootin’ and Jim Jones yelling “Ballin”, yeah that’s gonna stop Jay from getting another platinum album or Grammy.
Your right. flex broke alot of jay records though and kept alot of jays opponets records off the air for years. So im thinking that flex feels jay owes him a lil more respect than he is being shown. Cause there was a time that jay needed flex to become who he is to a degree and flex looked out for the cook out. but hey is what it is flex to late in the game to try and get at homie now lol. Homie in a whoe nother stratosphere
they was payin FLex tho, Dame used to drop off bags of money at Hot97
flex bro, nobody gaf
Flex will u just stop it wit the bullshit ..,, u looking real corny and pathetic son
Wow; delusion in its purest form — in all its splendor.
So I figured this shit out Flex is upset that Angie and Cipha joined Jay’s team but he left that nigg@ flex blowin in the wind. lol
Hot97 is dead! What better way to try and revive what’s left by starting some shit wit HOV!? He’s been making headlines as of late so why not?And not to mention, the wackset reunion! Power 105 is taking over! I’m from Brooklyn and I don’t fuck wit flex! #coonery
So Flex is going to reunit computers with puttin.
