DJs have nights when they are on and others when they are off and last night (July 27), Funkmaster Flex was definitely lacking luster.
While DJing his daily show, Flex had promised that he had a Meek Mill retaliation to Drake’s recent diss track, “Charged Up.” It never came and now, some listeners want him removed from the air.
A petition, through change.org, has begun to actually have Funkmaster Flex lose his job at Hot 97. AllHipHop recently spoke with Azeem Khan, a Digital Strategy Consultant in New York and the architect behind the petition. Khan says Flex’s arrogance and lies are enough for him to “step down” for a while.
“It’s one thing to be wrong by mistake, but he’s been gassing up this beef like no other,” Khan told the Hip Hop news website. “Everything is about clicks. This was straight up lying though. He’s needed to step down for a while now. I didn’t realize it would blow like this, but he should at least see what the fans really want. And that’s to not be lied to. Everyone was tuned in, and he gave us the best pump fake since Michael Jordan in the 98 Finals. His site already picked it up, and he IG’d it. That just further shows he thinks he’s really just above everyone else. And he’s not.”
The petition already has over 4,000 signatures and that number is continuing to grow. Read a full excerpt from Khan’s petition below. He says he’s not “alone” in wanting Funkmaster Flex gone and glad others want him to step down as well.
There has always been word that DJ Funk Funkmaster Flex was not someone who was willing to give up his position at Hot 97 for his slot. Despite constant critiques from everywhere for the old man to step down, and give the younger people a shot he decided to stay where he was. Last year Dame Dash was at the forefront of the movement saying that Funk Flex really needs to just leave. Well, today was the last straw. This fraud of a DJ decided to lie to everyone for ratings and downloads of the Hot 97 app that Meek Mill would be on tonight to release a diss track to Drake to no avail. No one has given Hot 97 two hours of listening time since Biggie was alive, and it’s a crime to have taken that from us. The people have spoken and it is time for Funk Flex to step down.

Personally, I don’t like Flex, he seems like a lame dude who got into a position of power, and tries to control people with it, as if he’s some almighty dictator. However, how much of a fucking Drake dick rider do you have to be to do something like this? You stans are so fucking corny. Not everyone has to like Drake and his ghostwritten bars, stop getting so emotional about someone who doesn’t give a fuck you exist. I’m not impressed
I’m impressed your mother birthed you
Where did it say he was a fan of Drake? You’re making assumptions. I’m not impressed with your reading comprehension skills.
I’m impressed how much of a idiot you are..
Didnt Think You Could Be So Dumb
Lol Drake stans are trying to play dumb. It was obviously started by a Drake stan who’s mad Drake was exposed. It doesn’t need to be spelled out.
Flunkmassterd plex is pulling a mayweather and thats the way it is huhhh. He just like his shoes once upon a time they was cool but know they come in boo’z take that hate that olds shit like the 8 track the real drunken flow master
The second that Funk flex started adding fuel to the Fire and started taking sides I thought he was a piece of shit. I Hope he steps down I’m tired of this f’n fader trying to be hype. he’s been wack since after Funk Flex 60 mins of funk vol.3,
funk just gat to step down instead of taking sides that being wack funk…
2 things I hate in the world: lying and bitching. Punkmaster Flex shoulda dropped the track like he said.
The real problem is you people tuning in to listen to a diss track from a non lyricist to a female based rapper. Meek already got bodied by cass so now you want to hear him go at someone weaker? Where are all the real hip hop fans?
I’m here and a real hip hop fan left listening to the radio a long time ago.
This guy is mad.
a petition to fire a deejay who lied about a song dissing some rapper who been lying to the masses about his skill set for years, and you mad because you tuned in the channel and it didn’t happen when you were listening. lol, wow, so caught up and emotional over the shenanigans……..you don’t petition, you 4000 and more dolts boycott the airtime he’s on, that’s what gets a radio deejay removed
This article is hilarious. First off, if your that dumb to waste your time listening for a fight that is all hype then of course your dumb enough to believe a lie. Then call funk flex old is laughable. In hip hop he is an OG, which is respected. If anything he will leave hot 97 and go to 105.1 with Angie Martinez. For someone to then end it saying nobody has given hot 97 2 hours of play since biggie is not saying much because obviously you were listening. People shouldn’t be lied to but you the real tragedy is you’re this overly excited about people you don’t know having a verbal girl fight on the radio. This is why I don’t even listen to radio. This just solidifies my decision to stream music or use my synced music. #Hiphopisbeyonddead
I lost all respect, and I mean ALL respect, for this clown when he, a couple decades after 2pac died, diss the Don Makaveli for no reason. He should have been shot for that shit…
Punkmaster Flesh should step down regardless.. he swear he bigger than the music he play…
He not creative, dont make beats , he dont add insightful commentary.. hell he dont even got good exclusives….all he do is talk trash for those out doing it 4 real
i stop listening to this clown a long time ago. .

Surprised no one made the connection yet….,,he was being setup the whole time:
#1 Funk Flex went off on Jay-Z; Jay-Z never retaliated…..just waiting in the shadows
#2 Meek Mill is signed to RocNation management
#3 Drake was a distraction
#4 Flex took the bait
#5 MeekMill, probably under the watchful eyes of Bog Homie, never was gonna help Flex with no exclusives
#6 Flex falls flat on his face with no exlclusives, lost rep, lost credibility
#7 Big Homie smiles in the shadows….as another one bites the dust
I wish radio DJs would just spin the records, conduct their interviews, and shut up. I love the music but it’s almost not even worth it when you gotta deal with these radio personalities.
Why would you listen to the radio for 2 hours when you can jump on this site for 10 minutes and read 5 articles per day on this topic?
I don’t think he should be off the air he work for that lot’s of work And hours . DJ ROCK!!!
FUCK FUCKMASTER FLEX
