Funkmaster Flex Comes For Jay Z, Says “Don’t Think I Can’t Ruin You” (AUDIO)

Hot 97’s DJ Funkmaster Flex isn’t very happy with Jay Z or his Life + Times website. Putting a new spin on blogger beef, Flex is not only coming for Jay Z’s website, but also Jay’s 40/40 club. 

Here’s what Flex says happened. According to Flex, who runs his own blog “In Flex We Trust” and iPhone app “DJ Funkmaster Flex”, he was interviewed by a writer from Jay Z’s blog, Life + Times back in 2013, in which he talked about his digital involvement in hip hop. Flex says he was asked questions about his app, how he started it, how he plans to market it, etc. Flex says none of what he mentioned was used in the interview but instead was used to create Jay Z’s Magna Carta app. 

“Couple of years ago, I dropped that DJ Funk Flex app, I get an email from a writer at Life+Times, the website,” Flex explained. “They want to talk to me about my digital involvement and write a story. First of all, I salute the person who wanted to write the story. I appreciate the love, but bruh I’ma tell you something. I peeped back then when they used a writer back then that did not work for the magazine, excuse me, the website. And that website is trash by the way. And I figured I’d say trash so you could take me serious 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. But I was good with that. I ate that. Everybody’s out here hustling.”

So, yesterday Flex goes on another rant where he says he was contacted by Life + Times again, this time they wanted to discuss his involvement with the Dipset reunion (that was announced on his show last week).  He says that it’s interesting the site cares about Dipset, seeing as how he was prohibited from playing any Dipset when he DJ’d at Jay Z’s 40/40 Club in Atlantic City. 

“Let me be clear, because I read through everything in that email that was sent to me, I don’t care about your website,” he said. “Your website’s trash. Y’all can’t move with me in this digital space. Maybe if y’all copied everything I was doing with the app, your app wouldn’t have crashed the day your album dropped. Don’t play with me. I didn’t take no sides in that situation. Play me like I’m stupid and you’re gonna see a different kind of dude firing off on you. I let you live in this town, don’t think I can’t ruin you.”

Now personally, I think this whole thing is stupid. Jay Z most likely has no idea what is going on at 40/40 nor his blog and I doubt he personally told the writers to poach information off of Flex so that he could copy his iPhone app. Furthermore, according to Hot 97’s own VH1 reality show, Flex doesn’t even send his own tweets, how in the world does he consider himself some type of digital pioneer. Hell, Baller Alert has an app and a website and a text service. What does that make us? LOL

Anyway, listen to Flex’s bomb-filled rant below and let us know your thoughts. Do you think Funk Flex can ruin Jay Z?
