Funk Flex Hits Out At Shyne Over Alleged Lies Told In Documentary Trailer

Funk Flex has taken aim at Shyne over alleged lies that the former Diddy associate told in a trailer for a forthcoming documentary.

The Hot 97 on-air host took time out from his radio program on Saturday (October 26) to go after the former rapper, who is now a politician in Belize.

“This has been bothering me for weeks,” Flex starts in a clip shared by The Art Of Dialogue on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday (October 26). “When somebody tries to say they’re the scapegoat, or they was used, it has been bothering me. I’m gonna keep it a buck. Shyne, I love you bro, and I know what you’ve been through. No I don’t. But you’re a liar. You’re a stone cold faced liar, Shyne.

“First of all, you remember when D Rock had to beat you up at that studio because you was feeling yourself? You lucky you signed to Bad Boy ’cause if you did not sign to Bad Boy and you signed to Def Jam or anywhere else they were gonna pound you out like the day they beat you up at that studio.”

Flex continues: “Shyne, you can’t lie with me around, bro. And I’m going to tell you something else, Shyne, if you hated Puff so much when he got the key to the city, you were in the trailer. Sucka. You’re a sucka. I can’t stand you. You got no guts. You went to jail because you took out your gun because you were scared to get punched in the face by some dudes that you knew that were your people that you jerked.

“You jerked them because you signed first. Shyne, you signed to those dudes first. I’m going to expose you, Shyne, because you’re a liar. You could fool your country on who you are. You ain’t fooling me. You had 10 record deals ’cause you sounded like the Notorious BIG and he died. “

He goes on: “Everybody wanted to spit in your face back then, Shyne, including me. But you sounded like Biggie and you was capitalizing off [inaudibld]. Don Pooh I apologize, I know I said I wasn’t going to say something tonight. I’m sorry.

“Shyne, your records were whack too. I’m going to wait until you whack ass documentary come out and I’m going to destroy you.”

According to Complex, Funk Flex offered additional details about the 1999 nightclub shooting that eventually led to Shyne’s conviction on assault charges and a 10-year prison sentence.

“Let me tell you something, New York, about Shyne that night in that club. He knew exactly who those guys were that he got into a situation. It was his situation, not anybody else’s. This ain’t about Puff, It’s about the Notorious B.I.G. and you sounding like him and you trying to act like you were in demand and you was somebody. You a punk, and you shot that gun off that night because you was scared.”

He concluded: “If none of you veterans are gonna check this bozo, I’m gonna check him,” said Flex. “I saw that trailer to Shyne’s documentary, and everybody sitting in it wanted to spit in Shyne’s face. I don’t care what friends I lose tonight, everybody sitting in that doc wanted to spit in your face, Shyne. I wanted to spit in your face.

“”Puff had to beg me to play them records. Nobody was rocking with you. Sounding like Biggie, just die. You thought you were gonna step out here in these streets, and nobody was gonna check you. I’m gonna check you, man.”

The celebrated DJ and radio host was responding to news that Shyne is gearing up to release a documentary about his life, in which he gets candid about the 1999 shooting.

In trailer released earlier this week, the rapper-turned-politician maintained his innocence and echoed his previous sentiments that he was the “fall guy” for the incident.

“I was absolutely set up to be the fall guy. One of the most difficult parts of it was watching everybody succeed. I spent 10 years in prison but I was able to move on,” he says.

The Honorable Shyne hits Hulu on November 18.

The shooting in question occurred on December 27, 1999 at Club New York in Manhattan following an altercation between the Bad Boy camp and a man named Matthew “Scar” Allen.

Shots were fired inside the club and three bystanders were injured. Both Shyne and Diddy were arrested after the incident, but the latter, along with his bodyguard, was acquitted of all charges.
