Flavor Flav‘s holiday cheer was cut short by NBC security during the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
According to reports, the iconic hype man claims he was invited to the yearly celebration, but after heading over to the Backstreet Boys’ dressing room, NBC Security reportedly asked him to leave.
In a recently deleted post, Flav took to X, writing, “I feel weird … I was invited to the Rockefeller Tree Lighting tonite and I was escorted to see my boys … THE BACKSTREET BOYS … and we were backstage in their dressing room … security came up to me and says @nbc does not want me in this area and I need to leave.”
The hip-hop star claimed that the events only became more bizarre after that. He said, “At the same time,,, their social media woman came up and asked to capture social content.” “What did I ever do to NBC or anyone,,?? all I ever do is try to spread joy and love,,, and I think I did that for NBC at the Olympics.”

Nonetheless, his omnipresent appearance at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, which NBC hosted, prompted the remarks. The network provided ample airtime to the MC, showcasing his gifting prizes to U.S. teams and his travels between different venues to show support. Flav later announced that he aims to be the torchbearer for the 2028 L.A. Games after having such an eventful time this year with the network.
Although he deleted the original tweet, he went on to add, “I deleted the tweet … but my spirit is broken.” A fan then responded in the comment section stating that the Backstreet Boys “should have spoken up” about the issue. Following this, Flav reassured, “they spoke up for me,,, they sure did.” He later posted a clip of him celebrating the tree lighting, despite his issue with security, writing, “Christmas in the city … ain’t nothing like the Rockefeller tree lighting.”
