Flavor Flav has recently been making headlines for offering support to several US athletes who had participated in the Olympics 2024

Flavor Flav made it to the news again after American athlete Jordan Chiles had to return her Olympic medal, after her coach Cecile Landi allegedly forgot to inquire about her initial fifth position score. While the decision led to a disheartening situation for the team USA fans and her followers, Flav offered an honor to the athlete in the form of a bronze clock necklace.

Jordan's mom even reached out to Flav, as mentioned before, to thank him for the gesture. The rapper had flaunted the medal on social media already by sharing its look. It is, however, important to note that this wasn't the first time that Flav extended support to a team playing for the USA in the Olympics.

Back in July, he promised the water polo team a bonus and cruise journey. On July 1, Flav and U.S. women’s water polo team captain Maggie Steffens, appeared on CBS Mornings together. During the conversation, Flav said,

"These women out here… the women’s water polo team they out there bustin’ their b*tt to make United States look good."

Steffens then mentioned how shocked she was when Flavor Flav came out and pledged to help the team. She said,

"When Flav responded it was definitely not who I expected. But it has been a beautiful, beautiful expectation and relationship that has changed and he’s really opened up a lot of doors and truly been a hype man for us."

The support from Flav to the water polo team arrived after Steffens uploaded a post on Instagram, on May 4, 2024, asking people to donate so that they could train well for the Olympics. Following this, Flavor Flav came to the rescue, promising the team financial aid.
