Funk Flex: Music Exec 'Threw Drink,' Planned Lawsuit
23 Oct
Summary
- Flex claims exec instigated conflict for a lawsuit.
- Exec allegedly threw a drink and provoked physical contact.
- Flex believes greed changed the music executive and his wife.
Funk Flex has recounted a heated exchange with music executive Shadow Stokes and his wife, former Hot 97 host TT Torrez, during the New York Knicks' season opener. Flex claims Stokes uttered profanities and insults, including calling him a "puppet" and "broke." According to Flex, Stokes repeatedly urged him to initiate physical contact to enable a lawsuit against Flex as an employee of MediaCo./Hot 97, citing potential litigation against the company.
Flex alleges Stokes then escalated the situation by throwing a drink on him. The radio personality stated that his comment about Stokes and Torrez being "out, never to return" was the catalyst for Stokes' extreme reaction. Torrez, however, countered that Flex "shoved her violently." Flex maintains the primary motive behind the confrontation was financial gain through litigation.
Despite the confrontation, Flex described Stokes and Torrez as "good people" who have been altered by the music industry's influence and greed. He recalled Torrez's support after his mother's passing, highlighting a past connection. Flex suggested that the pressures of the industry have changed their character.
