FUNK FLEX DIALS BACK ON TOMMY RICHMAN HATE AFTER HEARING 'DEVIL IS A LIE' SINGLE

Funk Flex has reigned in some of his dislike towards Tommy Richman after hearing his new single “Devil is a Lie.”

The legendary DJ was previously vocal about his hatred of Richman’s hit single “Million Dollar Baby,” but he appears to be doing a bit of a U-turn after hearing his latest drop.

Writing to X on Thursday (June 13), Flex said: “NEW TOMMY RICHMAN IN 5MIN! @hot97 ( Devil is a Lie ) ( I LIKE THIS SONG ).”

Funk Flex recently criticized Tommy Richman, dedicating air time on Hot 97 to ranting against the rising star.

“Remember, if you’re someone that likes this song, you are a clown,” he said while cueing up the track on his show.

“I don’t know what the rest of his songs sound like. I don’t even know who Tommy Richman is. It sounds like a shoe store. Now we’re gonna document this hot garbage. We’re gonna play it, though. I know you wanna hear it. I wonder if this is big at clubs.”

Flex then played the beginning of the song, adding: “See, this part is deceiving, like it might be a good song. Watch the terrible part as it comes in. You hear the tin can drums?”

Despite not being a fan, Funk Flex is an outlier in America with “Million Dollar Baby” being one of the biggest hits of 2024.

It debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May after racking up 38 million official U.S. streams, 302,000 in early radio airplay audience and 4,000 downloads in its first week.

Joe Budden has also been a critic of the track after some argued it would be the song of the summer, but praised the “marketing” of the hit.

Tomm Richman later hit back at the former Slaughterhouse rapper, commenting: “million dollar baby wasn’t bout u.”

“Devil is a Lie” is Richman’s first release since the smash hit, which made him a huge success after over a decade in the game.

On the track, he reflects on his sudden rise to fame: “I did so much, you did it with me, and I’m not alone / Since 2019, was dinners with me, I’ma set it in stone / You come from a sunken place again / You know the struggle, baby, can we be friends? / From the bottom to the top began / We go on again, on again.”

Pop Smoke's Alleged Killer Reportedly Released From Prison

According to numerous online reports and social media activity, authorities reportedly released one of Pop Smoke's alleged killers from jail (specifically juvie) for what seems like his 21st birthday. Moreover, there isn't a lot of concrete information available about this supposed release at press time, other than this being the completion of the alleged killer's four-year sentence for pleading guilty to murder. This follows other developments in the New York drill rapper's murder case, such as an alleged eyewitness explaining how it all went down. That took place on social media, though, not in court. As such, there are still a lot of unanswered questions and doubts when it comes to this tragedy.

Furthermore, four years have passed since Pop Smoke died in a home invasion and robbery, and only one defendant remains in his case. Corey Walker is also the only adult defendant in this case, and the court delayed his trial due to an inability to settle a plea agreement with prosecutors. "Negotiations fell through, but there’s still a possibility we’ll come to an agreement," defense attorney Deion Benjamin told Rolling Stone. "A few things need to be ironed out. If they don’t get resolved, we’ll go to trial," for which jury selection would begin on August 6.

Pop Smoke's Alleged Killer Is Reportedly Free

However, this vague release definitely isn't the most odd or bizarre thing to emerge out of this Pop Smoke case. Some connected it to the death of rapper Sirtanky, and believe that the latter passed away as a move of retaliation for the murder of the former. In fact, the Los Angeles rapper washed up in a barrel on the shores of Malibu, a gruesome and disturbing end with unclear context behind it. Hopefully no further violence affects this whole situation.

Meanwhile, Pop Smoke continues to live on as a staple of contemporary New York hip-hop, falling alongside city legends that have also done a lot to rep for the city in their respective eras. Sadly, his time on this Earth was far too short for him to fully enjoy and realize his impact, potential, talents, and life. Hopefully this release is a sign of completed justice, and that folks involved have learned from their horrific actions. We'll see how else The Woo endures.
