Flavor Flav considers the Paris Olympics to be his personal "highlight" of 2024
The 65-year-old rap star served as the official hype man of the US women's water polo team at the Paris Olympics, and he now looks back on the experience with a lot of fondness
13 December 2024
He told PEOPLE: "Watching my water polo team do their thing. Watching Jordan Chiles and Simone Biles win their medals. Being at the rugby game and watching the girls rugby team win their bronze medals ... I mean, just being there and being in that moment was just the greatest thing ever."
Flav actually sponsored the US women's water polo team, and he's remained close to the athletes since the Games.
He shared: "It is like a family reunion. Every time I see them, we family. I'm happy to see my family."
During the Games, Flav revealed that he relished the experience of being in Paris.
The raper star told 'Entertainment Tonight': "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 always wanted to attend an Olympics in person, and he finally fulfilled his life-long ambition over the summer.
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."
