Flavor Flav hopes to collaborate with Taylor Swift if she wants to work with him. The Public Enemy member said he would eagerly jump at the opportunity to record with the singer-songwriter.
“F### yeah!” he told the Daily Mail. “I would be in the studio in a second. I would love to work with her. I would lay a track down at any time. If she called me at 3:30 in the morning I would roll up at a quarter to four. It’s all love.”
Flavor Flav earned the nickname “King Swiftie” due to his fandom of Swift. Chuck D’s longtime hype man proudly attended Swift’s Eras Tour and wore her merch, solidifying his status as a Swiftie.
Earlier this month, Flavor Flav spoke to Swift at the 2024 Grammy Awards. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer said Swift knew all about his “King Swiftie” moniker.
“The discussion was about me congratulating her on all her success,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “And me being a big fan of hers, a big supporter of hers. Having her acknowledge that her fan base, Swifties, gave me a name, ‘King Swiftie.’ I said, ‘You know they call me King Swiftie?’ She said, ‘I know!’ Yo, when I heard her say that, that was huge for me.”
Flavor Flav and Swift previously met at the 2023 iHeartRadio Awards. The Hip-Hop stalwart said he was already a fan of hers before they linked up in person. He cited the solo version of “Bad Blood” as his favorite Swift song in a January interview with Hot 97.
“I mean, that’s [about] everybody’s relationships, or everybody’s families, or everybody’s friendships,” he said. “It’s like, you know, ‘I used to be good friends, now you did something to me, now we got bad blood, look what you’ve done!’ Now we got problems, we can’t even solve ’em! Man, come on. That’s deep.”
