Jan 14, 2021 JAY-Z is as elusive as its gets when it comes to social media but according to Funk Flex, there’s a reason for that. During a recent Instagram Live session with Gillie Da Kid and Wallo’s Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, the veteran Hot 97 host was noticeably hyped up when he essentially took a shot at the Roc Nation mogul. “You know why he can’t be on social media?” he says around the 17-minute mark. “Because he’s the most sensitive muthafucka on the planet and he can’t take n-ggas in his comments telling him the truth. He can’t take it. He can’t open up social media. You know what Jay does? He watches social media from a fake page. I’m giving you the truth. He has burner accounts and will comment”
Jan 14, 2021 I don't blame him for not putting himself out there on social media. It's probably good for his sanity.
Jan 14, 2021 this is almost definitely true. everyone who’s known jay says he’s extremely up on everything that’s happening on rap—as in, he doesn’t only listen to new releases, but combs through youtube, watches battle rap, etc. he also reads everything. twice in my career i’ve gotten emails from him through an intermediary about things i’ve written, and only one of the things was about him. this isn’t unique, either: a good number of writers i know have had the same experience. (fwiw all that communication is complimentary; i think he’s too level-headed to complain about something he doesn’t like.)
Jan 14, 2021 I'd assume a lot of celebrities have fake accounts to browse even if they don't post on it just so they can have some privacy regarding what accounts they follow and aren't getting tagged 500 times a day
Jan 14, 2021 Something like this wouldn't really surprise me. I think Jay as a person comes off as all business and fake, but all the same, Funk Master Flex is a f---ing loser. He was relevant when I was growing up and regular radio was still big. Now he's just an old has-been clinging to relevance by taking shots at people way more successful than him. Fat boy needs to drop the bomb on himself
Jan 14, 2021 You think Eminem has fake accounts? And looks at s--- and comments on the internet he tries to comes across as someone who doesn’t go on the internet and looks at comments..but then lyrics I’m his tracks say otherwise
Jan 14, 2021 I think for em a lot of times people around him just show him comments and what not. I know Royce for sure has done that for him.
Jan 14, 2021 agreed, Royce is on social media for most of his day I’m sure Em has other associates who else keep him updated as you mentioned
Jan 14, 2021 I really don't understand the idea of posting everything on social media. Like you are essentially inviting everyone to pry into your life uninvited. I absolutely hate social media and everything it's done to modern culture except when it comes to promotion. Those pics are definitely someone in the inner circle. Maybe Lenny S.?
Jan 15, 2021 I was working on a case to expose him... I was going to need the mods help.... but that was when @Koolo hated me... so I wasn't going to get it and eventually dropped the project.
