Funkmaster Flex invited his followers to call out rappers they think are “wack” in an Instagram post published on Wednesday (February 28). Flex’s invitation followed a video uploaded by Diddy where the rap mogul expressed his skepticism about the current state of Hip Hop, including his fear the culture is becoming diluted with “everybody saying the same shit in different ways.”
“Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! So many wack rappers out here!!!!! If u think a rapper is wack @ them right now!!!! @diddy / @ciroc,” Flex wrote on IG.
Flex proceeded to tag a string of rappers who he believes fit the bill, including Nicki Minaj, G-Eazy, Lil Pump and Lil Yachty.
Flex also tagged Trippie Redd, who quickly replied saying he’s “way different” than the other artists called out by the radio personality.
Lil Yachty, who has been called out by Flex before, opted for a more direct response.
Elsewhere, Ebro Darden hit Twitter on Thursday (March 1) to weigh in on the debate started by his fellow Hot 97 presenter. Darden took particular issue with Flex singling out Oakland rapper G-Eazy.

G EAZY IS WACK ONLY SINGS FOR THE HOS NOBODY WITH A DICK IS ROCKING G EAZY OR ANY OF THESE CLOWNS PLEASE STOP
Meh I’m not a fan of Eazy. From a technical standpoint he’s not a horrible rapper but I find his subject matter to be geared more for upper middle class whites and that’s just not my thing. It also really annoys me that he uses drawn out pop hooks to get radio play. Not that other MCs don’t do that but the way G-Eazy does it feels extremely cheap/exploitive to me. Culturally the guy is just too white to be an MC, like Macklemore. Definitely agree with Flex on Yachty 100% and I mostly agree on Minaj too. Haven’t even bothered to listen to the other ones though.
Get that G-easy cock out ya mouf, he ain’t shit. You’re the one that must be gay crying about some dude and getting all defensive.
I have to exclude G-Eazy from that list, dude can spit, he’s just making music that sells, basically following Eminem’s blueprint.. I dunno why Flex didn’t call out all the other wack rappers out there putting out non-coherent nonsense. These fools don’t even rap bars anymore, just a rack of adlibs and noises followed by 4 bars, then repeat. Every song sounds the same, every beat basically sounds the same as well.. There are a few out there that can and do still rap tho, not going to leave them out, but the majority is crap.
Ebro knows the label those artists are signed to pays his bills lol
