Biography: Flavor Flav is an American musician, rapper, and television personality best known for his work with the rap group Public Enemy. The group—featuring Flav and Chuck D as its core, alongside Professor Griff, Terminator X, DJ Lord, and Sammy Sam—earned six Grammy nominations and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013.
Public Enemy were known for their politically charged lyrics and social criticism, with Flavor Flav serving as their inimitable hype man. He provided comic relief with his flamboyant stage presence, typically wearing oversized and bejewelled clocks on chains of precious metals.
In addition to his music career, Flavor Flav starred in the VH1 series Flavor of Love, a hit dating game show that spawned multiple seasons and spin-offs. The show marked a new stage in his career, with a generation of fans knowing him more for this than his music.
