Flavor Flav offers Jordan Chiles a bronze clock after medal dispute

Flavor Flav is stepping in to save the day once again—sort of.

After Jordan Chiles was stripped of her Olympic bronze medal in a dramatic weekend ruling, the Public Enemy hype man offered to get the gymnast a custom bronze clock.

Within hours of the offer on Monday, the rapper posted a video of the blinged-out clock dedicated to Chiles.

“USA gonna Fight The Powers that be… but in the meantime between time… I gots yo back @jordanchiles,” Flavor Flav, 65, captioned the post, referencing the hit Public Enemy record and tagging his jeweler, Rock’n Stones.

Flav is likely hoping to ease the blow after the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled Saturday that the judging panel at the women’s gymnastics floor exercise final improperly granted an inquiry that increased Chiles’ score and moved her into bronze medal position over Ana Barbosu of Romania.

USA Gymnastics said Monday that the CAS would not reconsider its ruling, reinstating Chiles’ initial score and stripping her of her medal.

Chiles announced on her Instagram story over the weekend that she would be taking a break from social media for her mental health.

This is the second time during the Olympics that Flavor Flav has stepped in to assist an athlete.

The rapper served as hype man and sponsor for the U.S. women’s water polo team, after three-time gold medalist Maggie Steffens put out a call on social media asking for financial help. He’s signed a five-year contract with U.S. water polo, but details of the deal have not been disclosed.

“Flavor Flav saw that and something about it sparked his interest … He has really opened the door for people to learn about our team and different communities, different people who would have never heard of water polo,” Steffens said late last month. “And that’s exactly what sports like us need.”
