Public Enemy’s Chuck D says feud with Flavor Flav was a hoax: “We takin’ April Fools”

nme.com:

The pair have now teamed up on new track 'Food As a Machine Gun'. Public Enemy‘s Chuck D has said that Flavor Flav’s recent sacking from the group was an elaborate hoax to help promote a new album from his Enemy Radio project.

Flav was dumped from the iconic rap group last month after he presented a cease and desist letter to Bernie Sanders, which blocked his presidential campaign from using the Public Enemy name.

It came ahead of a Sanders rally in Los Angeles which featured a performance from Chuck D. However, Chuck has now confirmed that the whole hoax was a bid to generate interest around new Enemy Radio album ‘Loud Is Not Enough’, which arrived last night and features a single with both Chuck and Flav called ‘Food As a Machine Gun.’ In
