Shyne Says Funk Flex’s Scathing Comments are Defamatory

While Shyne Barrow faces intense scrutiny at home over his leadership of the U.D.P., the embattled politician is also under fire from well-known radio personality Funk Master Flex. Over the weekend, Flex launched a scathing attack on Barrow during his show on New York’s Hot 97 Radio Station. In a lengthy tirade, Flex accused Barrow, a former recording artist with Bad Boy Records, of being a liar. This accusation stems from statements Barrow made following the arrest and detention of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.

“You’re coming under fire from multiple angles, here at home and most recently abroad.  In the world of hip hop music and entertainment, you have a prominent figure such as Funkmaster Flex coming forward to essentially rake you over the coals for statements that you have made that effectively have drawn distance between yourself and Diddy, in the wake of his own issues in the United States.  How do you respond to Funkmaster Flex calling you out as a liar?”

“It’s defamatory and my lawyer’s going to deal with it.”
