Funk Flex Calls Out Music Industry For Not Helping X
Radio veteran Funk Flex is calling out the industry. In light of the hospitalization of DMX, Flex exposed how nobody in the biz helped X despite being aware of what he was going through.
“The music business is a gorilla. It’s a bottomless pit of happiness or depression I don’t wanna say people don’t help you but I do want to say there are people who actually know [when a star is struggling, but don’t help] sometimes. You don’t always get the best help when money is being made. It’s rough for someone like a DMX who may be in a mental and emotional state of childhood trauma that has happened to him and then being thrown into the money and fame.” (Page Six)
