Petition started to have Funkmaster Flex resign after misleading the hip-hop community

Last night Funkmaster Flex said he had a diss track from Meek Mill directed at Drake and wanted everyone to tune into Hot97 to hear it. So many people tuned in Hot 97 was trending on twitter for several hours but no diss ever came just the same 9 songs over and over for hours. This set people off and people began bashing the DJ and the radio station all over social media for misleading the hip-hop community for ratings. This lead to an actual petition being made on Change.org for Flex to step down from his position at the radio station. There has always been word that DJ Funk Funkmaster Flex was not someone who was willing to give up his position at Hot 97 for his slot. Despite constant critiques from everywhere for the old man to step down, and give the younger people a shot he decided to stay where he was. Last year Dame Dash was at the forefront of the movement saying that Funk Flex really needs to just leave. Well, today was the last straw. This fraud of a DJ decided to lie to everyone for ratings and downloads of the Hot 97 app that Meek Mill would be on tonight to release a diss track to Drake to no avail. No one has given Hot 97 two hours of listening time since Biggie was alive, and it's a crime to have taken that from us. The people have spoken and it is time for Funk Flex to step down.” The petition said and as of right now the petition stands at 8,000 signatures. Now this more then likely wont effect Flex’s position at the station but it does reflect poorly on him and people will not forget this or ever tune in again.
