Shyne Labels Funkmaster Flex A Liar After DJ Defended Diddy

by

Shyne is having a moment. The rapper is promoting his upcoming documentary, The Honorable Shyne, and digging into his dubious past with Diddy. Shyne served a decade in prison for a club shooting that involved the Bad Boy founder. The rapper maintained that he took the fall for his label boss, but others feel as though he’s shirked responsibility for what he did. Funkmaster Flex is one of these people. The legendary DJ denied Shyne’s innocence after learning about the doc, and the latter called him a “liar.”

Let’s delve into Funkmaster Flex’s comments for context. The DJ absolutely went off in October, claiming that Shyne is pawning the blame for the shooting off on Diddy. “I love you bro,” Flex said on Hot 97. “And I know what you’ve been though, but you’re a liar. You’re a stone-cold faced liar, Shyne.” The DJ took it a step further by labeling the rapper a “punk.” He claimed Diddy actually stepped in to protect him during the shooting. “Puff had to keep people off of you from beating you to death,” Flex asserted. TMZ caught up with Shyne after these comments were made, and the rapper was blunt.

Shyne Claimed Flex Has Lied About Other Rappers

He feels Flex is an unreliable source. “He said terrible things about JAY-Z, he said terrible things about Tupac,” he noted. “It doesn’t surprise me.” Shyne then made reference to Nas’ song “Purple” from 2002’s The Lost Tapes. In the song, Nas voices disdain for Diddy and his decision to push responsibility for the club shooting onto someone else. Shyne then rap Nas’ lyrics for the reporter: “The whole city is mine, prettiest Don. I don’t like the way P. Diddy did Shyne with different lawyers. Why it’s mentioned in my rhymes? F*** it, just an intro.”

Shyne has had lots to say about Diddy ahead of his new documentary. The rapper recently appeared on The Stephen A. Smith Show to discuss his experience working under the Bad Boy mogul. He admitted that he learned a lot under Diddy’s tutelage. He also called out the mogul for failing to support him while behind bars, and for “destroying his life.” The rapper admitted that he considered Diddy “the devil” for several years.

The feud with Desiigner began after 50’s appearance on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, earlier this month. On the show, he revealed that he considered signing the up-and-coming rapper back in the day, before he partnered with Kanye West. “I had him at the office. I was like, ‘Yo, let me hear the other records you got.’ And he’s like… ‘That’s it,’” he recalled. “And the sh*t was so hot that he had, I was struggling. But I was like, ‘Nah, I can’t give that n***a that money. Let them give him whatever the f*ck they gonna give him.’”

NYC radio personality Funkmaster Flex has never pulled any punches when it comes to his opinion about music and it hasn’t stopped with one of the most successful singles of the year.

Flex took to the HOT 97 airwaves this past weekend to review the popular track and the legendary NYC DJ had nothing good to say about Richman’s song, calling it “trash” as shown below when an X user recorded Flex’s radio commentary.

Flex admitted that he doesn’t know and hasn’t heard of any other songs from the VA-born artist, who has been making music since 2016. Flex ended his rant by labeling the song hot garbage, but stillproceeded to play the record, presumably under the program director’s demand.

Symba Calls Out Funkmaster Flex’s Tupac Comments — While Freestyling On The Funk Flex Show

by

Burgeoning Bay Area rapper Symba is having a bit of a moment right now as his profile climbs in the wake of his signing to Atlantic Records. After sharing the tracklist and release date of his upcoming Gangsta Grillz mixtape with DJ Drama, Results Take Time, Symba official set off his media tour to promote the project with a freestyle on Hot 97’s Funk Flex Show.

However, rather than simply spitting scintillating punchlines — of which there are sure to be plenty on his mixtape — Symba uses the moment to take the show’s host to task for his inflammatory remarks about Tupac Shakur. A little over ten years ago, during a live performance, Flex went on an anti-Tupac rant, then, in 2017, again lashed out against the late rapper on Twitter for some reason. When celebrated rappers like T.I. jumped in to check him during an Instagram Live, Flex insisted that “[Tupac] lied” about his thug persona while apparently on the verge of tears.

Symba, every bit the brash pugilist Tupac presented in his life, wasn’t afraid to confront his host — even though he could have damaged his own opportunities by calling him out. “I got a bone to pick with you, Flex,” he said, prefacing a devastating — yet hilarious — freestyle in which he took Flex to task for his words. “You been a big part of this culture my whole life / So what I’m ’bout to say almost don’t feel right / You say some wild sh*t, most times you actually right / But all that disrespecting Tupac sh*t stops tonight.”

And while Flex could have easily taken offense, he actually seems to agree with Symba, bursting out in laughter and interrupting to promise: “I’m a stop!” Once all that is out of the way, Symba shows off his penchant for punishing punchlines, making his case as one of the most charismatic pure rappers today.
