Funkmaster Flex has announced that Monday (9/1) will be his final show on Hip Hop Hot 97 WQHT in New York, ending a 33-year run.
Posting in all caps on Instagram, he posted, “THIS MONDAY, LABOR DAY, SEPTEMBER 1ST, WILL BE MY LAST SHOW ON HOT97 AT 7PM! ALL THINGS COME TO AN END! END OF AN ERA THAT I ENJOYED VERY MUCH! I SUPER ENJOYED IT ALL! I WILL MAKE THE LAST SHOW A GREAT ONE! APPRECIATE EVERYONE WHO HAS SUPPORTED ME OVER THE YEARS!
Not everyone was so quick to believe Funkmaster and his retirement news. Another post on the same account reposted claims that the wording leaves the door open to just a move to another daypart on the station.
