Funkmaster Flex Allegedly NOT Leaving Hot 97, Sources Say He’s Moving Time Slots

Looks like the news of Funkmaster Flex’s departure from Hot 97 isn’t exactly what it seemed.

According to TMZ, sources claim the iconic DJ’s “end of an era” post is actually about him moving from his 7 PM time slot to a new 5 PM–10 PM broadcast on the station.

Panic erupted across social media after Flex announced that his final 7 PM show would air on September 1st, with fans, and celebs like 50 Cent and Jadakiss, expressing disappointment and confusion.

But sources now say Flex is simply shifting to an earlier slot, starting next week. The shakeup is part of a larger programming update at Hot 97, which includes new time slots for other radio hosts.

The report notes that Nessa Nitty (Colin Kaepernick’s wife) will move to the 1 PM–5 PM slot, DJ Drewski will now be on from 11 AM–1 PM, and DJ Camilo, who previously held the 4 PM–7 PM slot, will now be on from 4 PM–5 PM.

Are you glad to hear Funk Flex is staying on at Hot 97? ??
