What is happening right now?

Since 1992, Flex was hosting the late afternoon and evening spot on Hot 97 FM.

It was later revealed that Flex was simply switching time slots at the station and will be on air from 5PM to 7PM after Labor Day.

Nessa Nitty’s radio slot will reportedly move to 1-5 PM, while the morning show will have an updated time of 6 AM to 11 AM. DJ Drewski will be running the boards from 11 AM -1 PM and DJ Camilo, who previously held the 4-7 PM slot, will now spin from 4-5 PM. According to the outlet, veteran HOT 97 star, DJ Enuff, was released into free agency.

Flex has been a notorious agitator in the junk food media. 

At the peak of the 50 Cent and Ja Rule feud, the studio was targeted. 50's rivals Scott, The Game, the late Irv Gotti and Rick Ross threatened violence on Flex.

Flex also has angered Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj in the past. They boycotted the Summer Jam events because of Flex.
