Cardi B, fresh off hilariously putting an annoying Instagram commenter in their place, is now unwittingly at the center of some choice words from frequent critic Funk Flex.
"I think Cardi is a great entertainer and has great songs," Flex said on Instagram Wednesday, reminding everyone of his "King of New York" disapproval and his hangup on the use of co-writers. Flex added that he still respects the "hustle" of Cardi and her management, even though he alleges they bought airplay. "BUT LETS BE CLEAR," he said. "CARDI'S TEAM AND MANY OTHER ARTIST (in the beginning of career) PAY DJS TO PLAY RECORDS AND SAY THAT 'THEY ARE HOT.'"
Flex, who maintains he himself has never accepted such alleged payouts, also claimed to have emails from several different record labels showing this behavior in action:
With any luck, Flex's latest comments will see a response from Cardi on the same level as that aforementioned message to those who keep trying to discredit her career.
The topic of paying DJs to spin and/or hype up records was also briefly discussed in Flex's recent 80-minute sit-down with Nicki Minaj. The coverage surrounding that interview, however, was quickly overtaken by the ensuing Safaree-related developments.
