The legendary Public Enemy hype man was on hand for the annual holiday tradition and in a since-deleted tweet he said that he was inexplicably booted from the Backstreet Boys\u2019 dressing room by NBC security<\/p>\n \u201cI feel weird \u2026 I was invited to the Rockefeller Tree Lighting tonite and I was escorted to see my boys \u2026 THE BACKSTREET BOYS \u2026 and we were backstage in their dressing room \u2026 security came up to me and says @nbc does not want me in this area and I need to leave,\u201d\u00a0he wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n That latter comment was especially pointed in light of how ubiquitous Flav was at this summer\u2019s Olympic games in Paris, which were broadcast by NBC. The network gave the PE MC lots of airtime, covering his pledge of cash and gifts to the U.S. Women\u2019s Water Polo team and pick up rent for discus thrower Veronica Fraley, as well as chronicling his hop around from venue-to-venue cheering on the U.S. teams; Flav said afterwards that he wanted to throw his clock in the ring to be an\u00a0official torchbearer<\/a>\u00a0at the 2028 L.A. games.<\/p>\n At press time a spokesperson for NBC had not returned\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u2018s request for comment and it did not appear as if the BSB had commented on the alleged incident.<\/p>\n Though he removed the initial post, a dejected Flav later returned to X to add, \u201cI deleted the tweet \u2026 but my spirit is broken.\u201d A fan replied that they were sorry that happened to him and said NBC was wrong in reportedly asking him to leave, adding that the BSB \u201cshould have spoken up\u201d about the incident. Flav assured them that \u201cthey spoke up for me,,, they sure did.\u201d The New York native also later shared a video in which he was seen having a good time at the tree lighting, counting down to the big moment, writing, \u201cChristmas in the city \u2026 ain\u2019t nothing like the Rockefeller tree lighting.\u201d<\/p>\n See Flav\u2019s tweets below.<\/p>\n
