Flavor Flav to Prankster Jokingly Calling Him Boosie Badazz: ‘I Am His Daddy’
The two rappers apparently look very much alike.
It seems Flavor Flav is immune to high jinks.
The 65-year-old Olympics enthusiast was recently the target of social media prankster Gerald Huston, who, when running into Flav, called him Boosie Badazz.
“Oh my God, that was you. Lil Boosie, bro!” Huston said in the clip as the pair dapped up. Flav was seen sporting his USA Olympic tracksuit and matching clock necklace.
“Everybody say that. But that’s my guy, you know what I’m saying?” Flav responded, without skipping a beat. “I am his daddy. You want me to be yours too?” the Public Enemy rapper added.
Flav has been active in recent weeks at the Summer Olympics. Earlier this month, it was discovered that the Long Island native sponsored the U.S. women’s water polo team.
“When the women aren't in the water playing water polo and everything, they're home, working active jobs—one, two and three jobs,” he told NPR. “These girls are out here busting their butt to make the United States look good. So when they're out here playing and practicing, it takes them away from their work. So I said to myself, why not step in and try to help these girls out?”

Flavor Flav also offered monetary support to track and field athlete Veronica Fraley, who revealed that she was having a difficult time paying her rent. The 24-year-old shared the news one day ahead of the discus throw at the Olympics.
"I compete in the Olympic Games TOMORROW and can’t even pay my rent," the Vanderbilt graduate student wrote. "my school only sent about 75 percent of my rent while they pay football players (who haven’t won anything ) enough to buy new cars and houses."
Flav offered to pay her rent: "I’ll send payment TODAY so you don’t have to worry bout it TOMORROW, and imma be rooting for ya tomorrow LETZ GO!!!" he wrote. Alex Ohanian also chipped in, sending $7,760 to Fraley.
