“It may seem odd for Flavor Flav, a member of Public Enemy to do the National Anthem,” the hitmaker said. “But I had family that fought in World War 2. My dad was in the army. They fought for the land that we live on, and some of them didn’t make it back.”
Flavor Flav continued, saying, “So when I was singing it, I was thinking about them and the advancements we have made in our community that I can perform the national anthem. I was happy I did it!”
Earlier this year the rapper celebrated his sobriety. He also reunited with a former collaborator to debut a new song.
