Elephant Man - file

Elephant Man says he is willing to clash Flippa Mafia at Sting if promoter Isaiah Laing is willing to pay him $5 million.

At the launch of Sting on Tuesday night, Laing said Elephant Man was running from a lyrical face-off with Flippa Mafia and, as a result the 'Energy God' would not be on the show.

However, Elephant Man says he is not running from a clash.

"Laing seh him waan mi and Flippa fi clash. Kartel seh him waan nine million, tell him (Laing) fi give mi $5 million and mi will clash Flippa," Elephant Man told THE WEEKEND STAR.

Adding, "Flippa a nuh nobody so mi will tek five. If him nah give mi five, mi nah do it. How him fi seh dat when a we build Sting over the years. So how wi fi a run from clash when a not even competition dat. Flippa dead from the two song weh mi do."

Back in the summer the two artistes traded insults in songs. Elephant Man did songs like People and Informa, whereas Flippa Mafia did Talk Di Truth and Who Me. After these songs Elephant Man said he did not feel the need to continue the lyrical insults.

As for the clash, Elephant Man said he was offended when Laing asked him to do lyrical battle with Flippa Mafia.

"Mi neva see Flippa wid a number one song yet. How him (Laing) fi seh dat? Him nuh rate mi. Di ting hurt mi. A big disrespect that. A Flippa and L.A. Lewis fi a clash, not Goofy, since him want a clash. Do betta than that Laing. Yuh a drop mi ting. Laing all right, God go wid him," Elephant Man said.

He further said Flippa Mafia was nowhere near his league, as he had performed with the likes of Janet Jackson and scored many hit songs.

Although Elephant Man does not plan to clash at Sting, he said he is fully booked for December.
