Hot 97 radio personality Funkmaster Flex is separating from his wife after twenty years of marriage. Monica Joseph-Taylor made the announcement public in what seems to be an unexpected official statement. No comment has been issued from Flex, born Aston Taylor, or his camp.

"After almost 18 years of friendship and marriage it is with great regret that I announce my husband Aston Taylor, also known as Funkmaster Flex, and I are separated," the statement read. "We have tremendous love and respect for each-other, and will continue to work on our professional projects together. Our top priority has and will always be our children! I personally ask that the press keep in mind Flex is the celebrity, not myself or my children, please respect our privacy!"
