The rapper Flavor Flav has invited all of the women athletes who medaled in the Olympics and Paralympics to celebrate with him in Las Vegas. He extended the invitation first to the gold-medal-winning U.S. women’s hockey team following President Trump’s invitation to the men’s hockey team and his joke that he would also have to invite the women’s team.

Flavor Flav has been an official sponsor and hype man for U.S. water polo, bobsled, and skeleton teams, and was in Italy for the Winter Games and in Paris for the 2024 Summer Games.

He talks to Here & Now‘s Indira Lakshmanan about his support of women’s sports, the Olympics, and his music career with Public Enemy.
