Flavor Flav claims NBC security kicked him out of the Backstreet Boys’ dressing room at the annual Christmas tree lighting at Rockefeller Center.
In an X post that has since been deleted, the hip-hop icon, 65, wrote on Wednesday, Dec. 4, “Feeling weird … I was invited to the Rockefeller Tree Lighting tonite and was accompanied to see my boys … THE BACKSTREET BOYS … and we were behind backstage in their dressing room … security came up to me and said @nbc doesn’t want me in that area and I have to leave.”
“At the same time … their social media woman came in and asked me to shoot social content. What have I done to NBC or anybody??” he continued. “All I do is try to spread joy and love … and I think I did that for NBC at the Olympics.”
After deleting the post, Flav later shared via X“I deleted the tweet … but my spirit is broken.”
