‘When Friends Become Frenemies!
Hot 97’s DJ Funk Master flex has a current feud brewing with rap elite, Shawn Carter. In short, Flex says he’s been insulted for the last time, and he is unafraid to go up against Jay-Z and his heavyweight machine empire.
This week during his radio segment, Flex threw several shots at the music mogul claiming that Jay-Z first stole his ‘APP’ idea a few years ago and now he is doing the same to learn about the Flex role in the rap group’s 2015 ‘Dipset’ reunion tour.
‘Dipset’ includes rappers, Camron, Jim Jones, Freaky Zeeky, and Juelz Santana and as the story is told, while the trio served under the same Rocafella Records label banner as Jay-Z , there was always tension between Jay-Z and Dipset frontman Cam’ron.
Following the dismantle of the label now revised and known as RocNation [owned by Jay-Z], harlem loyalty remained with Dame Dash and Cameron, and the two have issued several businesses over the years. Add all those spices together, and now the return of Dipset and you get the ‘alleged’ current feud .
…..Back to the Flex & Jay-Z.
Flex dropped ‘too’ many bombs while dissing Jay-Z and alluding that the Dipset reunion tour may the cause of the rift between the two.
” A writer from Life + Times the website, they want to talk about my digital involvement and write a story – says Flex. I salute the young man who wrote the story, I appreciate the love, but bruh, I’mma tell you something, I peeped back then, that they was using a writer outside that did not work for the magazine, excuse me the website and the website was trash by the way, and I figured I say trash you take me serious on where I’m going. “
” They do this interview after I drop my app, asking me alot key questions about apps, building apps, how, why?, how’d you launch? But alot of that did not get put into the story, but alot of that got put into that new Jay-Z app. I ate that, I understood it. Everybody is out here hustling! That’s what where doing. “
” Fast forward to this day my assistant gets an email from LifeandTimes website, ya’ll site is trash by the way, just a bunch of pictures but no numbers. We would like to interview with Flex to know what your role is in the Dipset Reunion. ”
” I’ve always been super-neutral in the situation but I don’t understand how they want to do an interview with me about Dipset but when I played at the 40/40 I was told not to play Dipset records. Don’t Play Me! “
Not sure if the divide and conquer game has sprung again, or whether there’s a publicity stunt at play here but it surely hasn’t stopped Flex from posting picture captions to support his truth.
No word on whether Jay-Z will respond via social media or via diss record song; afterall he is technically retired from the rap game. In light of the recent beef rapper, Cam’ron and Jim Jones issued a diss track to Jay-Z entitled ‘Victory’ shortly thereafter.
