While on the subject of celebrity National Anthem performances, people also said that Flavor Flav outdid other stars like Carl Lewis and Fergie.
Listen… I don’t know who was responsible for this booking, but at least Flav didn’t sound worse than Carl Lewis… 😂 pic.twitter.com/eKxtX9ItbI https://t.co/xCkjuZl5nk

Building off this point, another user added, “Flav did waaaaaay better than I expected.” He also pointed out that his ending was on point. IKTR!

As for what Flavor Flav had to say about the experience, he called it “a long time bucket list item.” After adding that the performance was “fun,” he powerfully declared, “I can’t live my life worried about what people might say about me.”
“I won’t let that stop me from trying new things and doing things I wanna do. Some people might not like that. But a sure failure is if you stop trying.”
Roomies, what’d you think of Flavor Flav’s performance?
