Everyone’s favorite Olympic hype man, Flavor Flav, has a need for speed.
On Monday, the New York native shared photos and a video of himself trying skeleton before making a special announcement about his future. ‘Yes,,, your boy has taken a ride in the 4 man bobsled,,, but im an adrenaline junkie and needed to try skeleton,’ he said on X. ‘And now I’ve officially joined the team and am gonna try to start competing.’
While the announcement to compete may be new, Flavor Flav’s status as a member of Team USA is not. In October 2025, the rapper revealed he was an ‘Olympic sponsor, hype man and a member’ of the Team USA Bobsled and Skeleton team. On Monday, he reshared the footage of him trying skeleton along with his intent to enter a future competition.
Flavor Flav has been living it up during the Milano Cortina games.
‘FLAVOR FLAV::: SHE GOT GAME and so does U S A,,,,’ he posted on Instagram Monday, cheering on Team USA during the women’s monobob event. ‘My Bobsleigh girls be sleighing,!!’ Post-race, the rapper couldn’t contain his excitement after the U.S. took home gold and bronze medals.
‘Letz GOOOOOOO Elana Taylor Meyers @eamslider24 and Kaillie Humphries,!,’ Flavor Flav tweeted. ‘Elana,,, the most decorated black winter Olympian of All time finally takes her gold!!’
