Flavor Flav performs the national anthem at NBA game
Public Enemy have re-recorded their 1998 track “He Got Game” as an empowering anthem for women, featuring a sample from Gloria Steinem's “Address to the Women of America” speech.
The updated version includes guest appearances from rappers Flau’jae and Retina MC, drummer Cindy Blackman Santana, singer Blue Detiger, guitarist Grace Bowers, and US Olympic swimmer Elizabeth Beisel.
Proceeds from the song will benefit the Women’s Sports Foundation and the Black Music Action Coalition’s Female Fund.
The inspiration for the new version came from Flavor Flav’s connections to the Olympics, having sponsored the US Women’s Olympic Water Polo team in 2024.
Flavor Flav will also serve as the official hype man for the women of Team USA Bobsled and Skeleton at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
