The Hot 97 DJ has been throwing darts at Hov for a few days, but the storyline really picked up thanks to rumors that the Brooklyn-bred mogul was planning to buy the radio station, which could signal trouble for Flex.
According to an unconfirmed report from MediaTakeOut, Jay planned to do this with the help of a team of investors that included Carmelo Anthony. Hot 97 morning show host Ebro Darden also had fun with the reports on-air and on Instagram, playing as if the rumors were true.
But a rep for Hot 97′s parent company, Emmis Communications put those rumors to rest, telling HipHopWired simply, “That story is false.”
Guess that means Flex is free to continue on his current anti-Hov tirade. During his first bomb-filled rant, he called Jay’s Life+Times website “trash” and accused him of stealing the idea for his Funk Flex app to launch his own Samsung app.
Then, things just got completely out of hand when Funk snapped over an ALL CAPS text that Jay allegedly sent him in response to the ranting.

I have to admit, I for 1 wanted him to buy it and stop the ignorance! I personally think this has more to do with his (Flex’s) relationship to Dipset and that Power 105 is doing what it’s doing in the NY. However, I’m from the ATL and don’t know the particulars, maybe the New Yorkers can weigh in with this.
