Flavor Flav Applauds Ex-Brigitte Nielsen’s Late
On September 14, 2024, hip-hop icon Flavor Flav shared his thoughts on former flame Brigitte Nielsen’s journey to motherhood in her 50s, showcasing a touching display of support despite their long-ago split.
In an exclusive chat with Entertainment Weekly, Flavor Flav, now 65, expressed his admiration for Nielsen. “It’s been ages since we’ve crossed paths, but I’m genuinely thrilled for her,” he remarked while discussing his new partnership with a famous snack brand. “Her happiness means a lot to me.”
The rapper, who dated Nielsen, 61, briefly in the mid-2000s after meeting on a reality show, spoke warmly of the Danish actress. “Brigitte’s got a heart of gold. She’s down-to-earth, fun-loving, and just a joy to be around,” he shared.
Flav can relate to Nielsen’s experience of later-life parenthood. In 2019, at 60, he welcomed his youngest son, Jordan, with a former business associate. This addition brought his total number of children to eight, spanning several relationships.
“Becoming a parent never gets old,” Flav mused. “The first time is mind-blowing; every time after is a beautiful routine. It’s a handful, but I’m committed to doing right by my kids.”
The Public Enemy hype man also opened up about the life lessons he imparts to his children and grandchildren. “I stress the importance of respecting authority and choosing friends wisely. Your circle shapes your future, so choose carefully.”
Flav revealed he’s embarking on a personal education journey, returning to high school to earn his diploma. This adventure will be captured in an upcoming reality series. “I want to show folks my age that it’s never too late to chase your dreams,” he said.
In a surprising twist, Flav announced a collaboration with a major popcorn brand, leveraging his iconic status to promote positive snacking habits. “With a name like Flavor Flav, I had to team up with a flavorful snack,” he quipped.
As part of this partnership, fans can win a unique “Pop Clock” inspired by Flav’s signature accessory. The giveaway runs from September 16 to 19, with details available on the brand’s social media.
Flavor’s candid reflections and ongoing projects demonstrate that he continues to evolve and inspire personally and professionally.
