Funkmaster Flex took to the airwaves to address Drake’s Madison Square Garden freestyle:
Flex promised he had a story to tell earlier this week, and he definitely delivered one. During the live broadcast, the DJ first reassured listeners he was not worry about losing his job because of Drake’s comments: “Want me to tell you why? Because 70 percent of your fans wear high-heels, the other 30 percent are guys who wear sandals,” he said.
Flex then went on to tell the story behind the infamous BlackBerry footage. You remember? That video shot by Cipher Sounds inside the Hot 97 studio, where Drake was filmed using a smartphone during a freestyle in 2009. Flex claims that video was never supposed to be released because the team didn’t want to embarrass Drake; however, Drizzy’s team supposedly pressured Cipher to release the footage and eventually helped circulate it—all because Drake wanted to use it as evidence that he writes his own raps.
“You wanted people to think that you write your bars, you wanted people to think that on that BlackBerry those [words] were yours, and that you wrote that” Flex said. “I see through you. And that’s why you so angry.”
Of course, Flex brought up the reference tracks again: “Let me tell you something, Drizzy. You know what you should’ve just done, bruh? Reference tracks came, you should’ve just said, ‘Bruh, I got a couple people who help me with a couple things and keep it moving. It doesn’t change you.”
