Funkmaster Flex Accuses Drake of Giving His Own Controversial Reference Tracks to Meek Mill, Addresses Hot 97 Freestyle
New York City radio DJ Funkmaster Flex fanned the flames of his beef with Drake tonight, making a series of strong accusations on-air during his show on Hot 97. “I’m not really worried about you making me lose my job,” Flex said. “Want me to tell you why? 70% of your fans wear high heels. The other 30% are guys who wear sandals. I’m not concerned about you, bruh. I’m just not concerned, I’m sorry.” Listen to the full audio from the show below.
This comes in the wake of Drake’s recent comments about the station and Flex at his first show at Madison Square Garden, when he rapped, “You see, they tellin’ lies on Hot 97, that’s how it goes/I told ’em fire Funk Flex and then I’ll come and do your show.”
Flex then went on to tell several stories about Drake. According to Flex, Meek Mill was suspicious that Drake was taking subliminal shots at Meek on the feature verse of their song “R.I.C.O.” When Meek confronted Drake’s camp, they gave up the reference track to Drake’s verse in order to prove that Drake was not taking shots at Meek Mill. (We all know what happened after that).
Flex then told a story about how Puff Daddy and Drake once got into a fight, with Drake ending up with his arm in a sling after a security guard twisted it in the process of putting him in a car. Flex also suggested that Drake was originally meant to be on “I Got The Keys” by DJ Khaled, featuring Jay Z and Future. “I’ma tell you something you don’t want to acknowledge. Future’s on the hook of that Jay Z record. I know they probably told you, nah, I didn’t hear the verse,” Flex said. “I wanna tell you something, Drizzy. Tonight, when Future comes out on that stage, you gon’ give him that bag of money. You know why? Because you need him to be street. You need him on that tour.”
The final story that Flex told was about the video of Drake’s freestyle at Hot 97 from 2009, when the rapper is seen reading off of a Blackberry. According to Flex, Drake told Zane Lowe in an interview done shortly after the freestyle that he didn’t know the video was coming out. In reality, says Flex, Hot 97 originally wasn’t going to upload the video and only uploaded it at the insistence of Drake’s camp. “This guy and his people continue to call [former Hot 97 DJ] Cipha Sounds’ phone! And Cipha said, we’re not gonna put out the video, it’s gonna make him look bad,” Flex said. “He and his people keep calling and asking. I put the video up. They help circulate the video. Video comes out, everybody jokes on him for it, but yo, he got bars! You wanted people to think that you wrote your bars. Because you knew the day would come when people might see and question your pen.”
