Flavor Flav claims he was kicked out of Backstreet Boys’ dressing room at the annual Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting.
The hip-hop icon has alleged that NBC had him removed from the boy band’s dressing room at the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting in New York City on Wednesday night.
In a now-deleted post on X, Flavor wrote, “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 tp me and says @nbc does not want me in this area and I need to leave (sic).”
“At the same time … their social media woman came up and asked me to capture social content. What did I ever do to NBC or anyone??” the artist continued. “All I ever do is try to spread joy and love … and I think I did that for NBC at the Olympics.”
Flavor later deleted the tweet, but shared in a new post, “I deleted the tweet … but my spirit is broken.”
The Public Enemy star also returned to the platform to share a clip of him at the tree lighting event, with the caption, “Christmas in the city … ain’t nothing like the Rockefeller tree lighting.”
The Backstreet Boys joined host Kelly Clarkson at the tree lighting, performing a rendition of Nat King Cole’s classic hit The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You).
Other musical guests included Jennifer Hudson, Raye and Little Big Town.
