Funk Flex recently sat down with Nah G Chill for the "Cigar Talk" podcast on Rap Radar, where he admits he instigated Drake and Meek Mill's beef "to go down in the history books." 

Around the 36:25 mark, Flex explained, "I gotta be honest, I kind of bit that whole routine, or my involvement. I was copying, watching Red Alert and MC Shan and KRS-One. And I watched people throw the flame on it and I said, 'If I throw the flame on it, this can be one of those.' … I ain’t gonna lie, I wanted to be in the history book like Red Alert and Shan and KRS-One."

When asked if he hit up Meek beforehand, Flex stated, "You know what, Meek was always in a cheerful phase about [it]—he wasn’t overly stressed [at that time]. Because I think he wasn’t. It was funny…when I didn’t have the record, I wanna say I feel maybe me and Meek must have had a miscommunication on the song, or what it was gonna be."
