Hot 97 radio personality Funkmaster Flex didn’t hesitate in expressing his distaste for Jay Z’s Life + Times website during a recent radio broadcast. With plans of “keeping it 1000 today,” Flex accused the Life + Times website of stealing the idea for his DJ Funk Flex app for an app of their own.
The radio host went on to share the story of when he was approached for an interview by the Jay Z-owned site. He says he was asked specific questions about his app and when the interview was published, his answers to those particular questions weren’t featured.
“A couple years ago, I dropped that DJ Funk Flex app,” Funkmaster Flex said. “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.”
In addition to accusing Life + Times of stealing the idea for their app, Funkmaster Flex also labeled the website “trash.” He later explained that he planned on letting his grievances with Life + Times go, but was recently approached by the publication about his involvement with the Dipset reunion.
“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.”

Didn’t even read the article. Just came here to say how much I dislike FUCKmasterFlex. Lost all respect for this wife beating, talentless slob when he disrespected Tupac over 15 years after his death… Coward. Even his BumChum B.I.G would have been embarrassed.
CO-SIGN !!!!!!!!
flex is a fuckin bitch
haha i remember when no dj was allowed to play any Dipset or Cam at 40/40 club.
Can you say publicity stunt? No one is checking for that DIPSET reunion so he gotta do something.
your screen name is a jim jones product but you speak of publicity stunt….lol…..
Vamp berry soda is a high quality refreshing beverage for a reasonable price. How I choose to quench my thirst has nothing to do with m opinion on Funkmaster Flexes desperate cries for attention.
Wasn’t this the same guy who was hypin up the app when jay z album drop ? And how can you play somebody when the reason it crashed was because it sold so fast ? This dude was all on jay nuts on air,with the app, playing his music.
And this is why these fools were always climbing up hill when it came to Jay and Roc-A-Fella. overly emotional and reckless, grow up already!

Hov ain’t got Angie up there no more to keep them DJ’s off his neck. I’ve heard a bunch of stories about Hov being a snake. Not surprised either. You don’t get to where he’s at by being an “angel”. If you think other wise you must have a peanut for a brain.
