Flavor Flav was a true fan of the US national team at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, attending several events, including women’s water polo matches, to support his country. From appearing in brilliant American gear to applying to participate as a torchbearer at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, the 65-year-old rapper is determined to continue supporting the US team.
During an interview on the «Potlickin» podcast, the singer of «Hands Up in the Air» said that he had «applied» to participate in the upcoming games. He said, «I said, 'If Snoop can carry the torch in Paris — let’s go, man — Flavor can carry this thing in Los Angeles.' And Snoop did a fantastic job, man».
According to the Olympics, the role of the torchbearer began «after being lit in Olympia, Greece». The Olympic flame «began its journey from Greece to France by sea aboard the magnificent three-masted ship Belem, crossing the Mediterranean Sea from Athens to Marseille». Torchbearers are described as «Precursor relay figures; with their energy, they raise the atmosphere in local communities, helping France tune in to the celebration of the Games».
Flavor Flav’s industry friend, rapper Snoop Dogg of «Drop It Like It’s Hot», - took on the role of torchbearer at the 2024 games. Before the opening ceremony, Snoop shared his excitement, saying, «I consider it a prestigious honor and something that I sincerely respect. I could never dream of something like this… I’ll be able to breathe slowly, walk fast, and hold the torch with a smile on my face, because I understand how prestigious this event is», - according to the Associated Press.
He compared the excitement to the Super Bowl, but noted that the Olympic Games are «a little more exciting». While other teams had the support of Snoop Dogg and former NFL player Jason Kelce from Philadelphia, Flavor Flav dedicated himself entirely to supporting the US women’s water polo team. He even signed a five-year sponsorship deal to become their official Hype Man, as reported by BET on Instagram
