As Chiles’ mourns the loss of the medal she’s worked her entire life to earn, rapper Flavor Flav is coming to the rescue with an offer that’s restoring our faith in humanity.
This week, Flavor Flav went on record offering Chiles her very own, custom bronze clock to resemble the ones famously worn by the rapper. “USA gonna Fight The Powers that be,,, but in the meantime between time I gots yo back [Jordan Chiles]” he wrote next to a photo of the clock on Instagram “Hit me up.”
“Everybody wants to feel like like they got their back covered like somebody has their back, you know what I'm saying? And when they feel that it makes them feel more powerful, it makes them feel more better,” Flav explained during a recent panel during the 2024 Olympics.
Having the backs of Team USA is exactly what he’s done throughout the summer games
sponsoring the Women’s Water Polo Team and also coming to the rescue of a track & field star,
Veronica Fraley, who needed help paying rent. His support went far beyond his generous financial contributions though. He could also be seen throughout Paris supporting Americans from the stands in various different events.
