Flavor Flav, the human clock necklace and co-founder of Public Enemy, has pressed pause on the victory lap of his sobriety marathon to deliver a plot twist no one saw coming—but hey, real ones own their mistakes!
In a heartfelt (and let’s be honest, pretty brave) Instagram Story confessional on April 3rd, the 66-year-old rap icon dropped some truth bombs hotter than a mic on fire.
“I keep it 100% real, even when life throws me off my groove,” he wrote. “For the last four and a half years, I’ve been on that no-booze, no-blunt, clean-and-clear lifestyle. I even inspired some people—turns out if I can do it, literally anyone can.”
BUT—plot twist! He added, “Just when you think you’re cruising, life throws a banana peel like it’s Mario Kart.” Translation? Our boy relapsed. Briefly. Like a pit stop with bad vibes.
“I messed up,” he admitted. “But that doesn’t make me a villain. I’m still Flavor Flav, not Darth Vader Flav.”
He emphasized that this slip-up isn’t the end of the road—it’s more like… a detour through Struggleville. “I hit reset and I’m back at Day 1,” he said, probably while dramatically flipping an imaginary hourglass. “The clock’s still ticking, baby, and my journey’s still rollin’.”
He wrapped things up with a message for his crew: “I hope the people in my life still got my back. I’m tryna stay clocked in to this sober life. Don’t count me out!”
Flav may have tripped, but he landed in a superhero pose. And remember: even if life hits you with a “To be continued,” that just means the next episode’s about to be fire. ⏰🔥
