In an escalating rap feud, Drake is receiving support from Funkmaster Flex amid his ongoing battle with Kendrick Lamar and legal disputes with Universal Music Group.

The conflict intensified after Lamar released his surprise album "GNX," which directly references Drake and Lil Wayne. In response, Lil Wayne promised to "destroy if disturbed," while Drake launched legal action against Universal Music Group, Spotify, and iHeartRadio over alleged artificial inflation of Lamar's "Not Like Us" streaming numbers.

Funkmaster Flex publicly defended Drake's payola allegations on X (formerly Twitter), detailing specific costs for radio plays:

• Pop stations: $350,000 per song
• Urban radio: $250,000
• Local DJs: $3,000-$5,000

The Hot 97 host emphasized his credibility, stating, "ALL YOU ARTIST KNOW I AINT NEVER TAKE A DIME FROM YOU, YOUR MANAGER OR YOUR LABELS!" He announced a public discussion about the matter scheduled for November 28th at 7 PM EST.

The controversy is expected to continue well into 2024, with potential escalation during Lamar's February Super Bowl halftime show performance, particularly given the alleged snubbing of Lil Wayne from the lineup.
