RadioOnFire.com - As Drake rocked Madison Square Garden for the 18,000 fans in attendance for the New York City stop on his "Summer Sixteen" tour on Saturday [August 6], thousands of others were tuned into New York's Hot 97 to hear what Funkmaster Flex might have to say in response to Drake calling for the radio station to fire the veteran DJ, during the concert's opening night. Judging by the tone and the content of his response, it was clear that their beef, which as Hot 97 colleague Ebro recently illustrated, goes back at least a year, is now more personal than ever; with Flex reeling the years back in an attempt to expose Drake as having a history of backing down from confrontation, while giving fresh details into allegations that much of the Toronto rapper's material has been ghostwritten. But Flex wouldn't have the last word it appears, as video from the late "Summer Sixteen" afterparty shows Drake lashing out at him once again.
"This is not the groupie s**t, this the real s**t right here. F**k them n****s! They can't even come in here and they claim it's their city too," Drake tells the crowd packing Space Ibiza, while standing over a sea of phones capturing the moment. His words were by most indications, a veiled reference to the DJ proclaiming "don't you come to my city and try to play me," during his broadcast. Those remarks came moments after Drizzy seemed to zero in on Flex with greater specificity, when he credited the event's hosts DJ Self and DJ Spade with "keeping New York music alive," before taking aim and firing: "I don't mean going and playing the songs like four weeks late and s**t, trying to sound cool, late night, prime time on the radio 7 to 9 o'clock, talking all that bulls**t."
It remains to be seen whether their quarrel will cool down anytime soon, as Drake has one more show scheduled for MSG on Monday night. Flex returns to his seat in the radio booth the same day, at around the same time.
