Hot 97 radio personality Funkmaster Flex got on air this evening, as promised, and shared the story of how he ended up with Drake’s reference tracks for “R.I.C.O.”
Funk says OVO itself gave the tracks away to cover for Drizzy after Meek Mill’s team pressed over the lyrics of the song. Meek Milly thought perhaps he was throwing shots at him on his own song in regards to his relationship with Nicki Minaj, when it was really Quentin Miller who penned his verse.
“[Drake] lays the [R.I.C.O] verse on the song, he gets pressed [by Meek’s camp] and questions his team,” he says. “[OVO] punk-panics and gives up the reference track to say, ‘Whoa! He didn’t write it. This guy wrote it!’ In a panic mode, because [Drake] doesn’t want to get pressed, that reference track floats up. But then that same dude has a few more. Now it’s out of control. In reality, you coughed up the reference track to not get pressed [by Meek’s camp].”
DJ Drama recently spoke on his role in Drake and Meek Mill’s feud. He said he did not provide any reference tracks, but was the one who suggested Drake used a ghostwriter for “R.I.C.O.” in order to calm the Philly rapper’s anxiety about the possible Nicki Minaj shade. Essentially, he said he started the beef while trying to prevent one.
Funkmaster Flex also addressed Drake dissing the New York City radio station during his Summer Sixteen Tour performance at Madison Square Garden Thursday (August 4) night. This came after Ebro Darden sparked rumors on his morning show Wednesday (August 3) of Eminem and Drake beefing in the midst of the Toronto rapper’s feud with Joe Budden.
The Internet went insane after Ebro told this story, which he later confessed was merely a joke. A joke Drake didn’t take to lightly as he called out Hot 97 and bragged about just leaving a studio session with Kanye West.
“They’re telling lies about me on Hot 97” Drake said live at MSG. “I told Hot 97 fire Funk Flex, then I’ll do your show.”
Flex acknowledges Drake’s claim as true but says he’s not worried about the Views rapper because “70 percent of his fans wear high heels” and the other “30 percent wear sandals,” so he claims.
“What [Drake] thinks is, him offering Hot 97 the opportunity to do concerts and make a couple of millions of dollars, he will think about it if I don’t work here anymore,” Funkmaster Flex says. “First of all, Drake, I’m not really worried about you making me lose my job.”
Listen to Funk Flex tell his side of the story below.
Lmao flex stay lying , if that was so why didn’t you say anything when meek was beefin wit him yay months ago??, why now you and Ebro have a story to tell when drake and buddens trending and you guys seen charlemagne had buddens on both his show and podcast? Ya felt like ya was missing out on ratings right ? So how ya get in the race for ratings ohh lets just lie, let’s put drake in a position where he can’t say anything and bring the underdog up smh ya pathetic as shit … But then again ya just doing ya jobs …. Who knows how long ya got on the air anyways smh
First Nigga flex is an institution but Ebro and drake teammates on team light skin, still Ebro dont wanna get punked like that. So flex and drake both reaching and flex might be telling the truth but he look like he reaching a bit more than drake
funk flex is a washed up asshole that hasn’t been relevant since the 90’s. Drake will make him fall back just like he did with meek. Dude may not get fired but he will get muted by his bosses for sure.
Dx gonna erase my comment like some propagandist bitches huh smh
Dx is down with the bullshit as long as they get exposure too smh
Yo he called drake sandal man
I don’t see why Drake is so mad that Meek Mill and Funk Master Flex releasd his Quentin Miller etc. ghostwriter tracks. What, Drake wanted us to think he was a genius and made all the music himself. Now we know how he’s been able to stay hot. He gets allot of help.
Funk Flex said Drake’s sandals ain’t strong enough to get him fired, his fan base ain’t strong enough to get him fired. Lol. #SandalMan Drake.
Is #SandalMan Drake in the studio making music or he studying somebody’s ghostwritten tracks?
Funk Master biting Canibus lol
Dunno if Punk Flex wears sandals(he admitted to bn a fan) coz I dont.So there you have the flaw in ur argument Mr Punk
Damn.. people that can’t even type an actual sentence that makes sense on here.. Fuck who’s side your on g.. learn to make some sense when writing something.. 9 likes for this illiterate fuck??
Oo so he writes? Thought he doesnt according to the suffering haters
didn’t say nothing we didn’t know. why am i so entertained by a feud between 2 guys who are 20 years apart in age? has the music gotten so bad that nobody cares about it unless there’s some type of scandal attached?
So Drake leaked a reference track coz he scared to have a problem with Meek, then proceeded to mop the floor with his ass the entire year.That makes sense
And that’s why the tracks were prepared….he knew a beef was around the corner
That back to back shit was so weak tho. People went nuts but it had no substance
The devil is a liar
Dickless Drake exposed again
so they were scared act having problems with meek? who the f is he to be scared of? i think drake peeped meek’s flaws a long time ago and he was ready. flex ain’t exposed shit we didn’t know, if you listened to dj drama’s previous interview on hot 97. mfs be tryna expose drake to be a soft ass fake, only to be hit with the reality that the world doesnt care. these old rap industry gate keepers want him to fall so bad bcz he ain’t doing’ em any favours lmao. too bad now in hip-hop the fakery’s way more entertaining than the music *sighs, grabs pop corn*
Meek took the L on purpose probably for a cool $5million to give wheelchair jimmy “hiphop cred” – this is all staged like WWF wrestling. Whenever good rappers challenge him, he doesn’t respond. Meek has had trash bars since jump and beyond yelling on the track, he has nothing to say.
Funny enough that picture for the article says it all: “Who gives a fuck?”
Flex still a hater after all these yrs and im not hatin but flex please hang it up. #AROD
Look on YouTube and see what pump fake flex had to do to rise to the top . You’ll be disgusted
Drake is the king many rappers have been king snoop dogg ice cube 50 Cent. But he’s not top ten just like they weren’t
what the fuck did i just read?
Try reading it slow bitch
Kill yourself, Drake.
Hang yourself, Drake. Die in a plane crash, Drake.
i need to die. any advice about pro suicide forums where we can discus methods?

The only winner here is the one laughing all the way to bank, Drake.
Why is Funk Flex even getting involved here ?
