Flavor Flav Is Loving His Taylor-Themed Taylor Swift Nickname: 'King Swiftie'

Flavor Flav was known for giving his own nicknames Taste of Love contestants, and now has a new nickname of his own.

The Public Enemy star guest-sat in its latest episode Policy, hosted by Gavin Newsom, Marshawn Lynch and Doug Hendrickson. When asked if he has a collaboration with Taylor Swift in the works, as he is a big fan of hers, Flav replied: “Not only am I big Swift, I have a new name. My new name now is King Swiftie. Flavor Flav is the king of all Swifties.”

He continued, “I went and saw her show in Hamburg. He blew it – out of the water, man. And he shouted at me from the stage. I love Taylor Swift, man, you know her lyrics, she's real. He writes about many things he has been through. She keeps it real with her fans and that's why I'm rooting for her, man.

Speaking of keeping it real, Flav also opened up about the difference between music today and the 1980s and 1990s. At the time we were putting out records, they had messages for them,” he explained. “Nowadays you have too many people just making rap records. There are a lot of good rap records out there right now. Today's records are mostly bragging and bragging and s—, guns, drugs, sex, gang violence. A lot of the records that are made today, the rap records, are about. But that's the way they live in their neighborhoods.”

He concluded, “You have a lot of fakes out there. Real people do real things and real people recognize real.”
