Public Enemy Radio performed at a rally for Sanders in Los Angeles Sunday night.
Public Enemy fired Flavor Flav, the band announced Sunday, after the rapper had sent a cease and desist letter to Sen. Bernie Sanders in response to an announcement that group co-founder Chuck D planned to perform under the group's name at a rally for the presidential candidate.
On Friday, Flav's lawyer sent a letter to the Sanders campaign alleging that the performance at the political rally would use Flav's"unauthorized likeness" and"image" for promotion purposes. Flav and Chuck D were two founding members in 1985 of the group, known for its politically-charged lyrics and messaging.
Later Sunday, Chuck D continued to criticize Flav, explicitly on Twitter and more subtly on Instagram.
