“Public Enemy and Public Enemy Radio will be moving forward without Flavor Flav'.
It’s not entirely clear when or why the relationship deteriorated, but there’s no doubt who is calling the shots. The Hall of Famers issued a brief statement Sunday to announce Public Enemy and Public Enemy Radio will be “moving forward” without their hype man. “We thank him for his years of service and wish him well.”The diminutive rapper has played a massive role in shaping hip-hop culture.
Flav has been on the outer and his relationship with his bandmates took a legal turn when his reps issued a cease and desist letter to Bernie Sanders’ campaign following news that Chuck D would perform at the Democratic candidate’s rally Sunday in Los Angeles. “We have become aware that Flavor’s bandmate and Public Enemy co-creator, Chuck D, has endorsed Bernie Sanders’ candidacy for President and plans to perform at an upcoming Sanders Rally,” reads an open letter written by attorney Matthew H. Friedman of Nevada law firm Ford & Friedman that was sent to Billboard on Friday . “While Chuck is certainly free to express his political views as he sees fit – his voice alone does not speak for Public Enemy.
Time’s already up, judging by the 125-word statement issued late Sunday on behalf of Public Enemy and Public Enemy Radio. The message continues, “Public Enemy Radio, made up of Chuck D, DJ Lord, Jahi and the S1Ws taking it back to hip hop’s original DJ-and-turntablist foundation, will be performing today at the Bernie Sanders rally in Los Angeles. The free event is being held at the Los Angeles Convention Center beginning at 4:00pm PT with the group taking the stage at 6:00pm PT. It can be viewed via livestream
