DJ Funk Flex has responded to DJ Enuff’s recent claims following his dismissal from Hot 97. Enuff, who worked with Hot 97 for 27 years, told TMZ exclusively that he felt Flex had something to do with his firing.

However, on September 1, Flex addressed the situation while on his radio shift. He said:

“TMZ could never twist me up to flip on my guy. I love him to death. Y'all could change words, do words, whatever. And you other two, snake number one, snake number two, hiding so far in the cut.”

Funk Flex added:

“Sometimes people have intent to help you into the grave. And I know how to read that. So, New York City, Jersey, Connecticut. I would never have anything to do, not just my brother. I would have nothing to do with anyone being fired or no longer here. You know why? I'm too hot.”

Funk Flex said he never felt worried about anyone being there and didn’t think anyone should be kept out. He explained that he didn’t believe in that or try to push that idea. Instead, he liked working hard and believed everyone worked hard in their own way.

Sharing a message to DJ Enuff, he said:

“You are my guy for life. I love you. I would never do anything like that to you. I think deep down, you know that. I'm not blaming it on anyone else. All I'm just saying is when you put DJs on, they're always supposed to prop you up and help you.”

“The people who snaked you were standing outside when you was with TMZ with you. They were standing with you, my brother. You go back to that video and you really look at their faces.”
