Flavor Flav to Chuck D: 'I'm Not Your Employee ... You Can't Fire Me'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Flavor Flav lashed out at Chuck D after the Public Enemy MC dismissed the longtime hypeman from the group partially over a spat over Public Enemy’s set at a Bernie Sanders campaign rally Sunday.

Public Enemy was billed at the rally as “Public Enemy Radio,” an offshoot of the group that includes Chuck D, DJ Lord, Jahi and S1Ws but not Flavor Flav. Still, two days before the rally, Flavor Flav sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Sanders campaign, accusing it of using the hypeman’s “unauthorized likeness, image and trademarked clock,” to promote the rally, even though Flavor Flav hadn’t endorsed a candidate. Public Enemy issued a statement Sunday saying they would be “moving forward” without Flavor Flav, effectively firing the veteran member after more than 35 years.

On Monday, Flavor Flav responded to the dismissal, tweeting at Chuck D, “Are you kidding me right now??? Over Bernie Sanders??? You wanna destroy something we’ve built over 35 years OVER POLITICS??? All because I don’t wanna endorse a candidate, I’m very disappointed in you and your decisions right now Chuck.”

Flavor Flav continued: “And @MrChuckD, I didn’t sue you on Friday, I asked the @BernieSanders campaign to correct misleading marketing, that’s all it was. I’m not your employee, I’m your partner, you can’t fire me, there is no Public Enemy without Flavor Flav, so let’s get it right Chuck.”

4. Flav is full of it. I am not a Sanders fan,he and Chuck have had their problems for

years. They have had a contentious relationship for a long time. I suppose Flav is broke and looking for 15 mins of fame to make some cash.
