*Flavor Flav, the legendary rapper and public figure best known for his hype-man role in the iconic hip-hop group Public Enemy, recently expressed disappointment after a troubling incident at the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony.
The 65-year-old artist revealed how he was unexpectedly booted from the Backstreet Boys’ dressing room, leaving him feeling “weird” and “broken” in spirit.
Reflecting on the strange experience, Flavor Flav took to social media, recounting the scenario in a now-deleted tweet, where he described being invited to the high-profile event. He was excited to reunite with the Backstreet Boys, but his evening turned unexpectedly.
“I feel weird,,, I was invited to the Rockefeller Tree Lighting tonite and I was escorted to see my boys,,, THE BACKSTREET BOYS,,, and we were backstage in their dressing room,” he shared. He then detailed how security informed him that @NBC did not want him in that area and that he needed to leave, TMZ reported.
Adding to his frustration, Flav noted that as he was being told to exit, an NBC social media team member approached him “to capture social content.” This incongruity left him questioning his treatment during what should have been a joyous occasion.
