Flavor Flav Hits Bernie Sanders With Cease and Desist Over Public Enemy Campaign Appearance
"Hey Bernie, don’t do this!!"
Alex Young
Flavor Flav isn’t feeling the bern. The rapper has served a cease-and-desist letter to Bernie Sanders’ campaign over an upcoming rally featuring Public Enemy.
Earlier this week, Sanders’ campaign announced that Public Enemy, of which Flavor Flav is a founding member, would be performing at a Sanders rally scheduled in Los Angeles Convention Center on Sunday, March 1st. However, according to the letter issued by Flavor Flav’s lawyer on Saturday, Sanders’ campaign is misrepresenting Public Enemy’s appearance, as only co-founding member Chuck D. will be appearing.
“The continued publicizing of this grossly misleading narrative is, at a minimum, careless and irresponsible if not intentionally misleading,” the letter reads. “Flav is reaching out, not in the spirit of division, but for the sake of unity in the hope of preserving the integrity of the Public Enemy Movement and the faith and trust his millions of fans around the world have placed in him.”
The letter goes on to make clear that Flavor Flav “has not endorsed any political candidate in this election cycle and any suggestion to the contrary is plainly untrue.”
Flavor Flav himself signed the cease and desist letter, writing, “Hey Bernie, don’t do this!!”
In response, Chuck D. told HipHopDX that Flavor Flav “chooses to dance for his money” and warned him that “He has a year to get his act together and get himself straight or he’s out.”

Flavor Flav Blasts Bernie Sanders Rally With Public Enemy, Calls Campaign “Fake Revolution”

"We have become aware that Flavor’s bandmate and Public Enemy co-creator, Chuck D, has endorsed Bernie Sanders’ candidacy for President and plans to perform at an upcoming Sanders Rally," the statement written by Flav's attorney Matthew H. Friedman of Nevada law firm Ford & Friedman reads in part. "While Chuck is certainly free to express his political views as he sees fit—his voice alone does not speak for Public Enemy. The planned performance will only be Chuck D of Public Enemy, it will not be a performance by Public Enemy. Those who truly know what Public Enemy stands for know what time it is, there is no Public Enemy without Flavor Flav."
