G.O.O.D. Music's 2 Chainz has finally responded to recent remarks made about him courtesy of Hot 97 radio veteran Funkmaster Flex.
Footage of Chainz taking a couple jabs at Flex for calling him one of his worst on-air freestyle performers has surfaced.
“I don’t give a f-k what Funkmaster Flex gotta say about this n*gga from Atlanta,” Tit said during a concert on Wednesday night. Coincidentally (or, more likely, not), the Def Jam rapper’s response came at the birthday show for DJ Prostyle ? who works at Power 105.1, an NYC rival of Flex’s Hot 97. “I ain’t use no motherf-kin’ help,” he boasted while on stage at the Best Buy Theater. “I ain’t come to no n–a for no favors. I got up here on my own. F-k you and what you think about me, n–a.” (MTV)
A few weeks ago, Flex said he likely caught Deuce on a bad day when he asked for an on-the-spot freestyle.
“The freestyle that wasn’t very good on my show, it had to be 2 Chainz. Honestly, I think I caught him off guard. I think he didn’t expect me to ask him to do it,” Flex said in an interview. “I’ve heard him on shows freestyling before so I knew he could handle it. But I think that day, he couldn’t handle it.” (ESPN)
2 Chainz recently announced plans to release a new music project this month.
Consisting of five brand new, original tracks, the EP will be a return to the hardcore, streetflavored rap that made 2 Chainz one of the most beloved figures in all of hip hop. Additionally, as the EP is fan oriented, 2 Chainz tapped his talented fan base for the album artwork. Utilizing his devout social media following, 2 Chainz encouraged fans to submit their suggested artwork for the Freebase cover via Instagram, with the #freebase hashtag. The winning design features a rare photo of famous stand-up comedian and actor Richard Pryor reclining on a bed, wearing two chain necklaces. (Press Release)
In February, Chainz revealed he had a new album on deck.
“Workin on B.O.A.T.S III,” Chainz tweeted February 4. (2 Chainz’s Twitter)
