Funk Flex has made a career out of delivering his often polarizing opinions on Hip Hop culture. During a recent sit-down with the Cigar Talk podcast, the longtime Hot 97 radio personality stayed in character and reiterated his disdain for Cardi B’s music, questioning why nobody has informed her just how weak her bars are.
“I do think Cardi B is a terrible rapper, my n-gga, I just do, man,” Funk Flex told host Najichill. “She’s an amazing entertainer, I love her on social media, I love the way she talks about a subject, I like her whole swag, I like everything. She’s a terrible rapper, man. I don’t know. Even if somebody [else] wrote [her songs], those aren’t good bars. So somebody sold you bad bars! Is nobody gonna fucking say it?”
Funk Flex has taken issue with Cardi B since at least 2017 when she dropped her debut album, Invasion of Privacy.
“Cardi’s consistently getting somebody else to write her shit,” he said on Instagram Live at the time. “I can’t stand rappers who don’t write they shit! What did we learn today boys and girls? Write your own shit! And when your shit gets funny, don’t go on the gram and turn your comments off, [and] don’t fire your management as soon as you get to the right place!”
Funk Flex Claims Cardi B's Team Paid For Radio Spins
In 2018, Funk Flex slammed Cardi once again for allegedly paying for radio spins.
“I think Cardi is a great entertainer and has great songs!” he wrote on Instagram. “I gave my opinion when she said she was “King of NY” and when I found out she didn’t write her own songs! I met Cardi and her management and I respected his and Cardi’s hustle!
“BUT LET’S BE CLEAR.. CARDI’S TEAM AND MANY OTHER ARTIST (in the beginning of career) PAY DJS TO PLAY RECORDS AND SAY THAT “THEY ARE HOT” (Since I never took a penny from a rapper I’m not scared to speak on it) I have emails I’ve gotten from labels over the years with names and figures!”
It seems Funk Flex’s opinions on Cardi B hasn’t wavered in the years since. Check out his most recent comments above.
For once I agree with Flex, I think its about time somebody exposes the radio and let’s it be known that what’s on the radio doesn’t necessarily mean that “it’s hot” it’s basically whomever has the most money for spins.
He’s spitting facts for once.
He’s not lying. She’s a terrible rapper. But the market share she’s entrenched in doesn’t really give a shit about lyrics anyway.
She sounds like she has learning disabilities. She makes more money than me though. When will the leaders of the world make the world equal for all?
this is not debatable at all
Flex actually saying something that makes sense. Naw… can’t be.
Agree on all points, terrible rapper but still entertaining.
Flex is just mad because her boobs are bigger than his…
I wonder if they have the same doctor for lypo?
Cardi B is ‘a terrible rapper’ according to anybody who has anything to go with hiphop.
I wish u would put his name correctly. His name is Funk Master Flex. Without the MASTER I thought u were speaking of a NOBODY instead of a LEGEND.
Drake killed this when he murked Meek. Hip Hop is an art form and all great artists either collaborate or sing songs written by others. Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Marvine Gaye …for hip hop to reach that status people will need to collaborate more improve the sound, period. One brilliant person can say their ideas or one brilliant person can say the ideas of 10 brilliant people.
That said Cardi B bumps I don’t know what this clown is talking about.
kys homo
Cardi B bumps? Ok.
on god cardi look like a tranny in the thumbnail.
I have always felt that Cardi Bruce is a tranny.
He/She is utter trash in every way but Flex is a wack AF sellout and plays hot trash from Rappers worse than this garbage.
