Conway The Machine has clarified his issues with Funkmaster Flex after calling out the Hot 97 DJ on Instagram Live earlier this week.
The Griselda rapper returned to the social media platform on Wednesday (July 13) and explained his frustration stems not from Flex not playing his music on the radio, but the veteran DJ’s comments about him during an interview on Wallo and Gillie Da Kid’s Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast.
“I just want to make a few things clear,” he began. “I don’t care about a n-gga playing me on the radio, bro. That never was my premise. I’m not tripping about you playing on the radio, I’m not complaining about that. I’m not asking or crying out for why you don’t play me.”
He added, “N-ggas sent me a video of Flex and Wallo with Gillie and them n-ggas, and Wallo was on that n-gga body like, ‘Yo, what about them Griselda n-ggas?,’” he said. “[Flex] was like, ‘Yo, I fuck with them n-ggas, I like what they doing, but it ain’t my vibe, I don’t listen to that shit. I don’t listen to it, personally.’
“My premise is like… bro, you Funk Flex, my n-gga! Why you have to do that, bro? Y’all n-ggas bring us up, bro. Not even us — artists everywhere, but y’all shit on n-ggas. You don’t know what that shit could potentially do, y’all opinions and shit like that. Keep that shit to yourself, bruh.”
Conway clarified he doesn’t have “beef” with Funk Flex, but he is bothered by gatekeepers going “out [their] way” to say unflattering things about artists they don’t like, potentially costing them opportunities.
“I have no beef with Flex or none of those n-ggas,” he added. “It ain’t no beef! You ain’t say nothing wrong. But it’s where you say these things and how you say it. Sometimes your opinions, man — especially when people can hold stock in [your opinions] – like, ‘Well shit, if Flex say he don’t listen to it, why should we give them n-ggas a $2 million bag?’
“‘Shit, if Flex — the guy of the hottest radio station for the last 30 years in the Tri-State — if he not listening to it or fucking with it, why should we?’ You see what I’m saying? Like bro, don’t do that to n-ggas! You ain’t gotta like our shit, bro. It’s all love, that’s your opinion. You never offended me, never threatened me, it’s no smoke on that type of time.”
