Radio wars hit a new level when radio personality Funkmaster Flex (Aston George Taylor Jr.) was charged with third-degree assault after allegedly smacking rival radio-station personality Steph Lova. The incident reportedly occurred at 12:30 a.m. ET Thursday morning (September 19) outside the studios of New York's WQHT-FM on Hudson Street in Greenwich Village.
According to sources, the altercation began as an argument, and afterwards Funkmaster Flex tossed a large amount of cash at Steph Lova, a female DJ at New York's Power 105.1 FM, before leaving the scene. A spokeswoman for the New York City Police Department confirmed that Funkmaster Flex was charged with assault in the third degree, a misdemeanor that is described as physical assault without a weapon that did not result in serious bodily harm. If found guilty, Funkmaster Flex could face up to a year in jail.
According to police, Funkmaster Flex turned himself in at the 6th Precinct on Sunday (September 22). The DJ was given a desk-appearance ticket and is scheduled to appear in court on October 18.
Funkmaster Flex's publicist at his Franchise Marketing And Record Pool offices had no comment when contacted by Sixshot.
