HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the BOSSMAN FUNK FLEX!!! We’re all wishing you another amazing year of success, health & happiness. May all your wishes come true!!!
Members from Team #IFWT have a special message for you after the jump…
Happy Birthday Flex!!! I’m so grateful for having a boss like you. You’ve given me some great opportunities and you’ll never know how much it means to me. Being your assistant has taught me things that 100 years of schooling could have NEVER taught me. I feel blessed to witness first hand some of the AMAZING things you’ve accomplished — and the many more to come. You truly are a business, mannnn!! (had to throw a Hov reference in there – lol)
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your family. You’ve been through so much, but you’ve always come out on top! It’s beyond inspiring. Happy birthday!!
– Sabrina B. aka GameTimeGirl
FAM, It’s been 4 years since we’ve started IFWT, and So much has happened, the ups and downs, but one thing for sure, the never ending drive to be the Best! We ALL look up to you to not just to get that drive, but to learn how to have that drive with such Passion we know it’s the right thing in life. Not one person you interact with doesn’t see it, so much so that people not only pick up on it, they try and emulate it! Lol, I mean you are the only one I know that can ‘create a monster’, and I know sometimes Sabrina and I let you know when you’re doing it, but to be honest, with all the people we work with and around, that ‘creating a monster’ is really giving people the opportunity to grow and be great, enough knowledge and guidance to put them on the right path, yet the freedom to make their own decisions(which is where the monster part happens), and NOT one of us around you, or has ever worked with you would have been or will be or just is GREAT with out you doing just that!!! Long story Short, We APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH, and with that comes genuine Love!!!!!
Yours Truly Wza
LEOs in this biiiiiitch! LMAO. I can’t say it enough how much I appreciate you and look to you for the answers for like, everything. You’ve taught me so much and continue to on a daily basis. Your drive and work ethic are UNMATCHED. Earlier this year, I forget what I said but after I said it, Angie looked at me and said, “I can see Flex SO MUCH in the way that you do things,” and to me, that was the greatest compliment I’ve ever been given. I’m honored to have learned from the best, and proud to reflect that in my work! Love you Funk!

Flex!! Happy Birthday Bruh!! I won’t sit here and go on, and on about how much I appreciate what you do for me, because it would probably take up most of the page. Instead, I’d rather continue to show you my appreciation with respect, loyalty & hard work!! It is a honor for me to stand by your side day in and day out. Enjoy your day my brother (no generic). Many more! And most importantly, Let’s continue to win!

Happy Born Day Flex! I must say that your hard work and dedication to your craft is not only inspiring but truly commendable. You’re a pioneer in hip-hop, radio, and broadcasting in general so to see you still outworking everyone is incredible. Much success and blessings to you, continue to enjoy the spoils of your work and dominating the airwaves. It’s a honor for me to being working with you, and I put my best in all of the work that I do, knowing that I’m attached to the brand that you’ve built. Thank you for the opportunity, God bless, and I wish you continued success and happiness in the coming year.

Happy Birthday Flex! As always thank you so much for the opportunity you’ve given me. Three years later and I’m still appreciative as I was the very first day. I’ve watched as you continue to build your brand and expand with new and exciting projects, changing the game and inspiring others to do the same. You’re a visionary and an extremely hard worker and it’s an honor to be a part of your team. I wish you continued success, and many more happy birthdays!
Hey big bro, for the many years I’ve worked, learned, and became a great friend and mentor. Your a great father and salute! Happy born day OG!”

Happy Birthday flex!! for years your voice has been coming out of my radio and I’ve always tuned into your show to here you go off on certain topics. Ive aways wondered what it would be like working with you & what it would be like to be apart of the hot97 family. My time came and I’m here although i have only been on your team for a couple months right from the start i felt like i have been here for years & i can honestly say it feels like home. I’m so grateful for the opportunity that you have given me blogging about kicks & also being apart of the planetkixx movement. I’m so grateful for this oppertunity. Thanks a lot Flex for giving me a chance. On that note God bless and have a happy Birthday! (P.S. we gonna need one big bomb effect to set this party off right!) lol. In the words of DJ FUNK FLEX WE MOVING!!
