Plot twist! Turns out Flavor Flav is still a member of Public Enemy. After a messy public feud, Chuck D has revealed that his beef with Flav was all a hoax.

It turns out Flavor Flav wasn’t actually kicked out of Public Enemy after a political dispute over Bernie Sanders. Today, the pioneering hip-hop group’s leader Chuck D released a statement on its website revealing the hoax, while also promoting Public Enemy Radio’s new album, Loud Is Not Enough. Public Enemy Radio is an offshoot of the group without Flav in the lineup.

Public Enemy Radio went up, his lawyer sent a cease and desist, I'm like, 'Good move.' Then, publicly, I'm like, 'Man, you don't sue me again.' He ain't suing me.
