Flavor Flav says Public Enemy firing has nothing to do with Bernie Sanders

March 04, 2020


Hip-hop legend Flavor Flav insists the beef that got him fired from Public Enemy has nothing to do with Bernie Sanders — and even wishes him “luck” in the election.

“I don’t have anything against Bernie. I think he’s a good person and I wish him luck,” Flav told the Guardian about the politician he slapped with a cease-and-desist letter, sparking his dismissal from the group.

Instead, the 60-year-old hype man told the UK paper that his only target was Public Enemy frontman Chuck D for signing them up to perform at a rally for the Democratic presidential hopeful without his permission.

“Why try to say I’m a part of something I’m not a part of? That was all Chuck D,” Flav told the Guardian at San Diego International Airport on Tuesday.

He told fans not to believe the hype that it must make him a President Trump supporter, saying he wasn’t political at all.

“I don’t deal with politics. Chuck D, he’s the politician of the group. I’m just the friendly jester,” he told the paper.

In numerous tweets about the row, Chuck D backed up his one-time bandmate’s claims.

“It’s not about BERNIE with Flav… he don’t know the difference between BarrySanders or BernieSanders he don’t know either,” he wrote, referring to the NFL legend.
