Sabotage At Summerjam : Funkmaster Flex Hints At Nicki Minaj ‘Blacklisting’

Funkmaster Flex Sabotage At Summerjam : Funkmaster Flex Hints At Nicki Minaj Blacklisting

He once hailed her ‘The Queen of Rap‘, however- if tweets by Hot 97 DJ Funkmaster Flex are anything to go by- his relationship with serial chart topper  Nicki Minaj is well and truly over.

Full story below…

Last night, as first reported here, Minaj pulled out of her performance at Summerjam 2012 following an outburst by Drake admirer Peter Rosenberg.

An outburst, which saw him take to the stage after Azealia Banks’ set and rile the crowd up against Nicki and her ‘fake’ music.

This, coupled with the arrival of the MC’s one time mentor and alleged stalker Fendi at the event, saw her follow the advice of Young Money boss Lil Wayne and cancel her appearance, despite taking time out of her world tour to headline it.

Nicki and Foxy Sabotage At Summerjam : Funkmaster Flex Hints At Nicki Minaj Blacklisting

Opting to ‘hang out’ with long time friend Foxy Brown at Caribbean restaurant Negril Village instead (see pic above), her departure prompted the following tweets by Flex:

His remarks come two months after Nicki became the 8th female artist of black descent to score two or more US #1 albums, and hours after it was claimed she was to invite Lauryn Hill, Nas, Cam’ron, Beenie Man and the aforementioned Foxy on stage during her performance.

A performance, which some reports suggest would also have seen the Rapper place an effigy of tax evading songbird Lil Kim in a coffin.

The validity of this however is yet to be confirmed.

Keep it locked on That Grape Juice for more on this developing story.

  • Nicki Minaj is good at what? Im actually curious, she is the worst dancer of all the famle artist, even making Ke$ha look professional. Her “singing” that is SO overautotuned is always doen by the backtrack and her rapping consist of baby/man/woman/any other voice that disquises her real one. The only person she would of put in a coffin is herself…

    Hot 97 Is A Steaming Hot Mess. How Could U Bait Nicki In With What Im Sure Was A Million Dollar Contract To Headline Your Annual Concert… Only To Allow Someone On The Lower End Of Your Payroll To Publicly Mock Her Before She Was Set To Hit The Stage & Make History? And To Add Salt To The Wound… They Rode With That Foolishness & Didn’t Make Him Apologize So The Show Could Continue. The Fuck?!! That’s Like Cancelling The 4th Quarter Of The Super Bowl! Smfh!

Now she and her crew wanna get mad when she gets called out. RIP Nicki minaj’s career who was put on life support after that Grammy performance and had the plug pulled last night. Dead after 2 albums.

  • HONESTLY….WHO IS REALLY EFFECTED HERE…FUNKMASTER FLEX DOES NOT HAVE A ALBUM HE NEEDS TO BE PROMOTING…NICKI DOES. FLEX IS NOT #22 ON THE CHARTS AND HAS NOT EVEN GOTTEN GOLD YET….NICKI DOES….. SO AT THE END OF THE DAY NICKI MINAJ NEEDED TO EXPOSURE TO HEIGHTEN HER ALBUM SALES AND SINGLES….LETS BE HONEST SHE SENT 5 SONGS TO RADIO AND ONLY ONE SONG IS CHARTING…….SO NICKI MINAJ IS THE ONE EFFECTED….FLEX COULD CARE LESS

    Who even booked her as the HEADLINER for Summer Jam if folks involved felt that she and her music were wack? It makes no sense to me to hire someone you dislike.

    Report this comment

    • First of All, Peter Rosenberg has been, from the beginning, letting people now that he was NOT HAPPY about the summerjam lineup! That real hip hop was missing from the lineup. He said this over and over and over again. He has repeatedly said he didn’t like Nicki’s music…..So, why is this so shockingto everyone all of a sudden? You people are out of control.

Nicki is STILL endorsed by Pepsi, STILL continuing her WORLD TOUR, STILL coming out with a fragrance, STILL coming out with a clothing line, and the fact that she was the headlining act sums up her true power. While you sad bitches pray for her demise, watch her catapult into a new realm of stardom. JUST WATCH!

    This grown ass man can’t be serious about warring with a young woman that’s making the most of her 15 minutes. This is just all kinds of Pathetic! I think Flex should stop being so damn sensitive and make better use of his time.

    I personally wouldn’t have stayed to do the concert either, Nicki shouldn’t be subjected to this kind of foolishness when she’s headlining. Wether you want to see her downfall or not – many of you would leave under those same circumstances. #Respect can’t be loss no matter how many 0′s are in your paycheck!

    This is actually kind of sad. Nicki was doing so well, but she didn’t make the transition to a wider audience very naturally. It happened too quickly. Had it happened gradually, she really could have had some longevity. I just don’t see it for her. I see it for the new comer breathing down her neck, AZ Banks. She’s going slowly and steadily.

    That was a set up. Period. Hot 97 must really dislike Nicki and see her as a sell out.

Out of all the wack ass MALE RAPPERS, you decided to be bold enough to go after one BUT A FEMALE RAPPER. Then to plug in his radio show at the same time by telling them to tone in at 7. Hahahaha n**** please you doing this to milk ratings while trynna compete against The Breakfast Club. I love Nicki, both I dont have a problem with others giving their opinion about her or any of my fav artist. It was just the manner in which they did it cuz Flex & Peter both knew Nicki was headlining months before so why not speak up…MONTHS BEFORE. Why? Because Queens always have to put on a BIG SHOW

    Flex is about the fakest person on radio since Wendy Williams! This pisses me off. Not because he dissed Nicki. But because he was so fake about it. This is the same n**** who praised her & kissed her ass just a couple months ago! The same n**** who stole Nicki’s song from DJ Clue so HE could be the first one to play it. The same n**** who was cosigning everything Nicki was doing, the one who was kii kiiiing away with her just 3 months ago? What a fake bitch, the whole time he was kissing her ass & this is how he truly felt. Why be fake? At least Rosenberg was genuine the entire time! I do not cosign his bullshit coming from this fake no loyaty having ass n****!

    Hot 97 fucked up. They got a major headliner, hate or love her she’s a top name and been on damn everybody’s song, got people to PAY to see her and then let their small dick DJ insult her till she chucked up the deuces and said fuck it. Then u gonna let this lame claim he’s gonna be doing some shit. Please…if YMCB wanted to turn this into a war they’d win. Hot 97 ain’t shit in the music world.

  • I know some of you may hate her but Flex took it too far. Anyone who cosigns his tactics is about as fake as him. He thinks Nicki is a sellout cause she went pop. Last I checked Superbass was released 2 years ago, since then you had at least 4 chances to call her out face to face. Not to mention he was with her on April. What he did was wrong, he basically looks like he was never genuine with her. Had this come from someone else it wouldn’t be questionable. He’s such a queen.

    Flex isn’t ending anyone’s career. Nicki is not some local act. She has sellout shows in Europe & Japan, & is a crossover international star. If you think a New York radio show that isn’t even #2 on the charts when it comes to listeners is gonna end her career, you’re delusional. Flex is a phony queen who would never say it to her face, considering the fact he was just kissing her ass 3 months ago.

    Nicki minaj is a clown and u believe she choked up and was scared of the tough summerjam crowd who will boo their own people. Nicki could have came with her classics and shut it all the way down but lil kim army came for her neck and big fendi was there as well. In the end Nicki shitted on her so called barbz and allowed wayne drugged out ass to kill her career. She needs new people to gain a comeback from this. I am no longer a fan. But at least wayne does not beat on women like Chris Brown.

    Ehhh this to shall pass. If Nicki didn’t officially end her career with that Grammy performance or her Twitter incident, a DJ’s opinion won’t do any harm. That album was gonna flop no matter what, at least Starships hasn’t fallen off the top 10 on the charts & she has sellout shows in Europe. This will be forgotten in a month, as long as she doesn’t respond. Moving on.

  • I think this is all BS. It’s funny how Nicki can go on the Breakfast Club and do interviews and they’re bashing Lil Kim and do the same on her album but when people do it to her she’s a little princess so i’ll cancel? Fuck outta here. At the end of the day this is NEW YORK, We don’t do frauds and regardless to what “Team Minaj” thinks somebody in New York would’ve eventually called her out if it wasn’t Rosenburg, so PUHH LEASE. Everybody is mad at Rosenburg, last time I checked he was doing his job. He is a controversial radio personality, this is the type of shit we expect from him. Besides that, why don’t ya’ll boycott Charlamagne and the entire Breakfast Club, do you know how many celebrities he has offended?

    At the end of the day, if Nicki was the real bitch from New York like she so claims she is, she would’ve went on that stage, said FUCK rosenberg and did a i’ll ass set with absolutely NO POP MUSIC just straight hip hop and showed everybody why she is that bitch.

    Do you Nicki fans even realize that this would’ve been GREAT promotion for her? Her album is doing HORRIBLE, not only would it have been a great triumph, but she would’ve gained a lot of respect for not caring about what Rosenberg said, if you are from New York you know we never run! Fuck what a hater has to say!

    Nicki idk about you anymore. Lmao like who do you think you are to be pulling out of summer jam? You’re somebody now? I must’ve forgot the millions you’re selling across the globe. Bitch #SIT.

    Let’s not forget that summer jam still went on WITHOUT her #oops.

    • and to all of the NIcki Minaj fans that think Funkmaster Flex can’t ruin her career have a seat. Regardless to how many listeners Hot97 may have, Summer Jam shows you the power in that ONE radio station. No radio station across the GLOBE can have a show like that. Flex is a disc jockey legend and TRUST that when he says something, he has influence. Has anybody even realized that the majority of Nicki Minaj’s supporters were from New York? Like, this is where Nicki is from, they don’t like when they say New York maketh and they taketh, you abandon your audience with this whack ass album and then decide to pull out of a show where thousands of your fans are and you guys don’t think this will do damage to her career? GOOOODDDDBYE. Team Minaj better do some damage control.

    I just dont understand why these ppl didn’t wait til after she performed, and then talked shit…. Everyone has a right to their opinion, but there’s a time and a place for it. Saying something negative about someone’s songs right before they’re about to perform is just damn rude….

  • I’m still rooting for her, the odds are against her but I have a strong feeling she can overcome this. She needs reinvent herself as an artist. The girl IS talented, trust me when she wants to go hard she goes IN (Monster, All I Do Is Win, I’m The Best, Blazin’) hell even Lil’ Kim said she wasn’t wack which mean a lot coming from her considering they hate each other. I’m probably the minority that is still riding with her but I’ll be the oddball cause I know she has it in her. Flex is a flop queen who would never say those things to her face, he didn’t say shit April when he was interviewing her.

Eventually people will spray you with Windex and see straight through mess. The DJ only told the truth and the truth exposed Nicki, and now you all hot and bothered. Girl face it, your 15 minutes of fame is over. Nicki is not HipHop, a matter of fact, she is one step above a cartoon character at Walt Disney World. GIRL BYE!

    It just so happena that theres a movement in America thats backlashing generic, soulless R&B. The same R&B singers putting out shit that sounds like something 3 albums ago. Thats why people are jumping on the dance trend cuz id its gonna be generic then let it ride. Im sick of these R&B artist putting out crappy music thats uninspired and nothing fresh. Im looking at Monica, Kelly rowland, Brandy, toni braxton, Mary j Blige, BeYAWNce, and others. Thinking just cuz they growling and sound raspy they got some soul. Please.
