Public Enemy’s Chuck D reveals Flavor Flav feud was a hoax

breakingnews.ie:

Chuck D has revealed Flavor Flav is still a member of Public Enemy, and his recent firing was a hoax to promote their new music.

Founding member Flavor Flav parted ways with the hip hop group in March following a supposed spat over an appearance at a Bernie Sanders rally.

The rapper later criticised his former bandmate on Twitter, saying Chuck D could not fire him because “there is no Public Enemy without Flavor Flav”.

Chuck D has now revealed, in an announcement on April Fool’s Day, that the spat was orchestrated to show how some media covered bad news over good when it came to hip hop.
