Flavor Flav is the most iconic hype man in history and one of the most recognizable legends in entertainment. He is a musical prodigy who is proficient in 15 instruments. He first burst onto the scene in the late '80s, where he emerged as a co-founder of the legendary hip-hop group, Public Enemy. Possessing the most sampled voice in the history of hip-hop, Flavor Flav (along with his group) was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013 and received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards in 2020.
In addition to his culture-shifting career in hip-hop, Flavor Flav furthered his mark on the world with his foray into reality television, where he displayed an unparalleled penchant for breaking records. His reality television series, Flavor of Love, achieved a record-shattering 7.5 million viewers during its Season 2 Finale and was the highest-rated non-sports programming that year, and highest rated show for VH1 all-time.
At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Flavor Flav made international headlines as the first individual to sponsor a United States Olympic team as the official sponsor and hype man for the men’s and women’s water polo teams. The partnership runs through 2029 including the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
As he continues to perform with Public Enemy on the global stage, including the 2023 GRAMMY Awards and 2024 MTV VMA’s, Flavor Flav likes to use his platform to empower others and raise awareness for important causes such as mental health, sobriety, humanitarian rights, and women’s sports.
