Funkmaster Flex has blasted Pete Rock after the producer suggested the DJ no longer plays “real artist[s]” on the radio.

The beef between the two started after Conway the Machine hosted an Instagram Live in which he called out Flex, who he referred to as an out-of-touch “gatekeeper” who doesn’t give his music airtime. Flex didn’t take kindly to the criticism, and now he’s also spoken out against Rock for taking Conway’s side.

“You don’t play real artist no more," wrote Pete Rock in a since-deleted comment on Flex's post of Conway's rant. "You talk shit like you better than everybody and I believe all threats with real talent in music were removed by plan out the way for that new shit to happen. You a NY n***a treating the other ny artist who put in work like our career is over. You stop playing Wu Tang You play no Griselda nothing, stopped playing a lotta artist then you judge mafuggas and make fun of that fact you control what you want when you on air."
