Flavor Flav Set to Bring the Hype as a Torch Bearer at the 2028 LA Olympics

Buy Me A Coffee

Flavor Flav is officially on fire (metaphorically… for now). The Public Enemy legend has traded his giant clock for Olympic torch duties. Yes, you read that right—Flav is confirmed to be a torch bearer at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, and honestly, who’s more qualified to bring the heat than Mr. Yeahhhhh boooooyyyy! himself?

From Water Polo Superhero to Olympic Icon
Flav wasn’t just hanging out at the 2024 Paris Olympics for the Instagram clout—he was there as a full-blown hero. When the U.S. Women’s and Men’s Water Polo Teams needed help getting to Paris, Flav swooped in like a clock-wielding fairy godmother. Turns out, a lot of the athletes were juggling way more than just water polo balls—try second and third jobs just to afford their dreams. Flav said, “Not on my watch!” (pun absolutely intended) and bankrolled their trips.

It’s like Undercover Boss, but instead of handing out oversized checks in secret, Flav showed up courtside with energy levels that could power an entire Olympic village.

First Lady and First Hype Man
While in Paris, Flav wasn’t just about water polo—he was out here making diplomatic moves. Yes, he met First Lady Jill Biden. Let’s all pause for a second to imagine that conversation. Did he say “Yeahhh, booooyyyy!” when she introduced herself? Did she? The world may never know, but one thing’s for sure: Flav made a splash.

From “Fight the Power” to “Light the Flame”
Now, in a twist straight out of an inspirational sports movie, Flav has been chosen to carry the Olympic torch in 2028 when the games hit Los Angeles. Naturally, he made this announcement in the most Flavor Flav way possible: by dropping rhymes on Bluesky (aka Twitter’s cooler cousin).

“In 2028, when the Olympics come to L.A., your boy Flavor Flav is going to be able to carry the torch. It’s a bragging right!” Flav declared with the kind of excitement most people reserve for winning the lottery or finding out Taco Bell brought back the Mexican Pizza.

He also shared a little poetry, writing:

“Word on the skeets,,, Flavor Flav gonna be carrying the Olympic torch on the LA streets,!!!”

Shakespeare could never.

What’s Next for Flav?
At this point, Flavor Flav is basically the patron saint of vibes. Between helping athletes, hyping crowds, and now carrying the Olympic torch, we wouldn’t be surprised if he announces he’s running for mayor of Los Angeles next. Imagine city council meetings with Flav—every vote would end with a Yeahhhhh booooyyyy!

So, mark your calendars for 2028, because the streets of LA are about to get a whole lot more flavor-ful. Whether you’re there for the sports or just to see Flav trot down the street with that torch, one thing’s for sure: the Olympics have never been this lit. Literally.

Word on the skeets,,, Flavor Flav gonna be carrying the Olympic torch on the LA streets,!!! #LA28
