After Hot 97 DJ Funkmaster Flex aired out Jay Z not once, but twice over the last few days, many wondered if Flex's shots were sent strictly on his behalf or were they representative of how Hot 97 as a whole felt, as Flex said numerous time that the station "doesn't need" him and that Hov's not his boss and therefore shouldn't address him like a worker. Rumors soon began to stir that Jay Z was in talks to buy Hot 97, which would not only make him Flex's boss but put an end to his signature rants, at least for a while.
While Roc Nation has neither confirmed nor denied the claim, Ebro took to his own Instagram to address the rumor, posting up a picture of Hov at the Hot 97 offices along with "#JayZ Buying Hot97" scrolled along the bottom. His caption indicated that he'd be playing Hov all morning in an effort to secure his job if Jay decided to drop major bread for the station. Many believe Ebro is simply poking fun at the rumor, but only time will tell if the Brooklyn spitter really wants to run Hot 97.
