Public Enemy rapper Flavor Flav is set to launch his own range of fried chicken next year.
Public Enemy star Chuck D is an icon, a rapper who used his skills in an attempt to broaden the perceptions of a generation. Bizarrely, in his right hand side was rap’s equivalent of Bugs Bunny.
Lightening the load whenever it got too serious, Flavor Flav is a unique character. Battling back from numerous addictions, he has been central to the resurgence of Public Enemy over the past few years.
Speaking at a press conference before a London show [via The Quietus], Flavor Flav decided to let fans know a few secrets. “Yo, check this out,” said the rapper. “I want you all to keep on the lookout – it should be on the shelves by January – I’m launching a thing called ‘Le Flav Spirits’. I’m comin’ out with a cherry vodka, a berry vodka, an olive vodka, a sweet tea vodka, a bubblegum vodka and grape vodka. Also, I’m comin’ out with ‘Le Flav Cognac’ and ‘Chateaux Le Flav’ which’ll be some bubbly. Champagne, that’s right folks – Poppin’n’drinkin’!”
Continuing, Flavor Flav revealed that he was set to launch a new fast food chain. “I’m also launching FFC – ya’ll heard of KFC right? – well this is FFC, Flav’s Fried Chicken” he exclaimed.
“The Colonel better watch his back, G! The Colonel might end up in my fryer!”
Meanwhile, Chuck D has revealed plans to take Public Enemy to Africa. “We have a firm belief that that entire continent… this music belongs to those people and they do the music for a whole bunch of different reasons and we don’t want to see the continent get co-opted out,” he said.
“We want to create a coup of sorts to snatch the base of hip-hop and rap music away from the United States corporations and feed it right back into the motherland.”
