Flex's New Music Tease Sparks Listener Confusion

Funkmaster Flex recently announced on social media that he would be playing unreleased tracks from prominent artists, including Drake and the artist formerly known as Kanye West, on specific dates in late April 2026. Listeners tuned into Hot 97 on April 23rd, 24th, and 25th, anticipating new music from artists like Kehlani, Lil Tjay, Statik Selektah, Conway the Great, Drake, and Ye. Flex had specifically hyped an unreleased Drake song and a Ye track featuring Ty Dolla Sign through separate Instagram posts.

However, the broadcasts concluded without any new music from Drake or Ye being played. The radio personality has not since posted any updates addressing the absence of these anticipated tracks. This has resulted in significant confusion among Hot 97's audience, leaving them to question the validity of Flex's initial announcements and the actual content played during his segments.
