Flavor Flav is with the US team in Paris
The 65-year-old rap star is the official hype man of the US women’s water polo team – but he’s most excited to meet the gold medal-winning gymnast.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, Flav shared: “She’s my favourite athlete right now. She’s going for her ninth medal, man. Come on! That is phenomenal. That is slamming.
“I just want to meet her, and tell her how proud I am of her, and how much of a big fan that I am of hers.”
Flav is relishing the experience of being at the Olympics in Paris.
He said: “Man, I’m feeling like I’m living the greatest moment of my life right now. I’m feeling amazing right now. It’s a very wonderful experience that I’m living right now.
“For the first time ever I get to be at the Olympics in person instead of just seeing it on TV.”
Flav has always wanted to attend an Olympics in person, and he’s finally fulfilling his life-long ambition.
He explained: “Words right now can’t even explain how amazing it is. I’m living a dream come true right now.
“I always dreamed about being at the Olympics one day, watching it and seeing it in person. Right now God has granted me the gift to where I’m able to be here and see it.”
Meanwhile, Flav has explained the role he’ll perform for the US water polo team.
The rapper – who was a founding member of Public Enemy – said: “My duties are to hype up the water polo team, mainly the women’s water polo team.
“They’ve got three gold medals right now, so we’re pushing for them to get that fourth one. My duties are to be in the crowd and be loud and when I get that medal be proud.”
