https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/public-enemy-flavor-flav-bernie-sanders-960272/Public Enemy announced Sunday they are permanently “moving forward†without Flavor Flav, firing one of hip-hop’s most memorable hypemen after more than 35 years. The abrupt dismissal comes just two days after the rapper sent a cease-and-desist letter to Bernie Sanders over Chuck D’s concert at the campaign’s Los Angeles rally Sunday.
“Public Enemy and Public Enemy Radio will be moving forward without Flavor Flav,†the hip-hop legends said in a brief statement Sunday. “We thank him for his years of service and wish him well.â€
The group reiterated that Public Enemy Radio — a Chuck D-led offshoot featuring DJ Lord, Jahi and the S1Ws — would still perform at the free, livestreamed Sanders rally gig at 6 p.m. PST at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Flavor Flav loses his gig thanks to an old, rich white guy.

Bernie Sanders already increasing black unemployment and he’s not even president yet.
