Funk Flex posted up a picture of what looked like a text message from Young Hov on Instagram late Friday (January 16).

Check out what Dipset had to say about Jay Z right here…

Dipset rappers Cam’ron and Jim Jones allegedly dissed Jay on their new “Victory” freestyle..

In the wake of Funkmaster Flex‘s beef with Jay Z’s website Life+Times, Cam’ron and Jim Jones come to the Hot 97 DJ’s defense with a diss of their own. Over Puff Daddy‘s “Victory” beat, the Diplomat rappers throw shots at their Roc Nation rival. “Having money, that don’t make you a real one / You stepped on the court, you gon’ play my game / Just take shorty’s advice and say my name,” raps Killa Cam. (Rap-Up)

This week, 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)

Flex also went on to blast Life + Times for recently reaching out to him.

“I get an email today from the Life + Times website,” he said. “Your website is trash by the way. Doing no numbers, zero…We fast-forward to today. My assistant gets an email. ‘We would like to do a story about your involvement in the Dipset reunion’…You know my involvement…I don’t understand how somebody can ask me from that site about my involvement in the Dipset reunion. But when I used to go out to the 40/40 I was told not to play any Dipset records. I’m so confused.” (Hot 97)

  12. That was 17 minutes of corny. Flex sounded like a straight woman talking to her girlfriend.
    He should wake up and realize, If Jay Z name wasn’t attached to this story he would just be Mr irrelevant in his little bubble. NEW York another DJ trying to destroy the culture. I’m my Jay Z voice… Hahahaha

  13. Jay Z and the 40/40 not playing Dipsets music isn’t news. That’s been well documented before.

    Salute to Radio personalities making money etc… But New York DJ’s take it to another level with their I’m bigger than music, we make you or break you attitude. This dude Flex and his bomb drops are so out dated. He’s a DJ pimp who’s on air personality has not grown. Same Sound, same drops, same gimmicks OUTDATED.

  14. Can’t believe what I’m seeing from an old school renowned dj. Watch out flex, find urself coming home lights off water off eviction notice and cars towed like he did to wayne for running his somthing something muskets (mouth)

  17. People still using this same “old formula” beef with someone to promote your own stuff. This is whack! This beef is not new smh nyc rap is washed up

  19. Do people here forget Flex is a legend. He helped made radio and mixtapes what they are. Jay needs to pay respect to Flex. He was always on Jay’s side, its not like he’s just angry for no reason.

    • Correction was ONCE a legend dude has sullied his own reputation with numerous bone head moves like the one where he basically dissed 2Pac…. to be frank if you and someone were so cool why would you not answer their call to find out what’s the issue… Flex is from the older generation where dudes would deal with shit in a more respectable manner not bitching on the net like he’s doing and going on the radio to use airtime to bitch… everybody in NY is now used to Flex ranting every evening about some dumb shit instead of playing music…

  20. Flex has a personal issue with HOV and he’s dragging his coworkers in.

    I want NY rap to pop but Dip Set needs a new business plan.

    I rather see Camron’s girl in a bathing suit than hear them rap right now.

  21. He does know that could be anybody calling him right, since the number is blocked lol. I cant get over the fact he put emphasis on the issue of the name being capatalized LMAO
