Flavor Flav Says NBC Booted Him From Dressing Room at Tree Lighting

The rapper said he was visiting the Backstreet Boys’ dressing room when security approached him and told him to leave.

Rapper Flavor Flav said he was kicked out of the Backstreet Boys’ dressing room before NBC’s Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting on Wednesday night. “I feel weird,,, I was invited to the Rockefeller Tree Lighting tonite and I was escorted to see my boy,,, THE BACKSTREET BOYS,,, and we were backstage in their dressing room,,, security came up to me and says @nbc does not want me in this area and I need to leave,” he wrote. The Backstreet Boys performed at the show, along with other stars including Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson. Flavor Flav added that he did a lot of promotion for NBC during the Olympics. Later, he posted on X: “I deleted the tweet,,, but my spirit is broken.” He replied to a fan comment and said that the boy band did speak up for him during the incident. But just a few hours later, it seemed like the rapper had moved on. “Christmas in the city,,, ain’t nothing like the Rockefeller tree lighting,” he captioned a video of himself in front of the tree in Olympics gear.
