On Monday, Hip Hop fans were shocked to hear the news that Flavor Flav had been kicked out of the legendary group, Public Enemy — and Flav took to social media to check Chuck D for the controversial move.
“@MrChuckD 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,” he tweeted.
Last week, Chuck D gave Flav a year to get his act together before he made a decision about his future with the group, but judging by his tweets, he is tired of getting sued by the group’s clock-wearing hype man.
“Public Enemy and Public Enemy Radio will be moving forward without Flavor Flav,” the group said in a statement to XXL. “We thank him for his years of service and wish him well.”
Flav says Chuck D can’t kick him out of the group:
“@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,” he tweeted.
