Flavor Flav Honors Jordan Chiles With A Medal-Worthy Gift At VMAs

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Flavor Flav gave Jordan Chiles a dazzling surprise at the MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday, after the gymnast’s Olympic bronze medal was stripped from her this summer. The Public Enemy rapper — who became a beloved hype man for Team USA at the Paris games this summer — previously vowed to come through with a gift “NO ONE else has” in the form of a sparkling bronze-colored clock, a piece that takes inspiration from Flav’s iconic accessory. Flav, who took the stage with Chiles to present the Best Collaboration category, turned the VMAs appearance into a “little Olympic moment.” “I know they tried to take your medal away from you, but you know what? I got you something that they can’t take away from you,” said Flav, before showing the gift to Chiles.
