Flavor Flav says he 'might've stayed on stage too long' during 2024 MTV VMAs segment with Taylor Swift

As a die-hard Swiftie and long-time Public Enemy enthusiast, let me express my unbridled admiration for Flavor Flav’s heartwarming moment at the 2024 VMAs with Taylor Swift! I can only imagine the exhilaration he felt sharing the stage with the pop superstar, and it’s clear that his love for her music transcends time, generations, and genres.


On Twitter yesterday, Flavor Flav expressed his thoughts that he possibly overstayed his welcome during the segment shared with Taylor Swift at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards the previous day.

The 65-year-old rapper mentioned in a tweet that he watched videos from the previous night and now feels he may have performed for too long. “Apologies,” he added, explaining that his joy and excitement had made him oblivious to the passage of time. “Oops!” he exclaimed.

Born and raised in Roosevelt, New York (known as William Jonathan Drayton Jr.), he had the honor of co-presenting alongside renowned gymnast Jordan Chiles, aged 23, during the celebrations held at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.

At the event, a former member of Public Enemy and an Olympic athlete awarded Swift (age 34) and Post Malone (age 29) the prize for Best Collaboration in Fortnite.

At the event, the individual affectionately known as ‘King Swiftie’ (Flavor Flav), a staunch supporter of the renowned pop sensation, was spotted rejoicing over her victory.

Later on, Flavor Flav could be found embracing Swift, with her saying, “You’re just so kind – you’ve been incredibly kind to me, and I appreciate it.

After making a hand gesture similar to Swift’s signature heart symbol, the artist acknowledged fellow Swift admirers on both his Instagram (X) and Twitter pages.

On Thursday, Flavor Flav posted, “I had to be kind to the Swifties… I saw all your requests asking me to acknowledge you and send virtual hugs.

At the award show on Wednesday, the rapper who sang “Fight the Power” was told by a commenter that he didn’t stay in the spotlight for too long during his interaction with Swift, implying it was brief.

One user said, ‘Oh you were CLEARLY JUST excited! it was great … but the acknowledgement of this was awesome. You’re good boyyyeeeee.’

Another commented, ‘It’s okay Flav, you’re excitement was contagious and you were in the moment. You’re the sweetest for even apologizing.’

One person commented, “Legends don’t look at the clock,” while another expressed that they embodied all the joy and excitement of Swift’s fans during the triumph. They added, “I’m so happy you enjoyed yourself and maintained the positive energy!

Said one user: ‘The stage is always better with you on it Flav, you can never be on it too long!’

A second person chimed in, ‘You were absolutely thrilled with your performance! You did an outstanding job! I really hope you’ll present again next year!’

In July, Flavor Flav shared a video on Twitter of him attending Taylor Swift’s concert in Germany, which he had previously posted about on his social media platforms.

He captioned the clip, ‘It’s the guy from Public Enemy also known as KING SWIFTIE. Coming straight to Germany to see me!!! Shout out back to @taylorswift13 @taylornation13 and her team and family for having me!!!’

Previously, the performer featured on the “Politickin’ with Gavin Newsom, Marshawn Lynch, and Doug Hendrickson” podcast that airs on iHeartRadio, discussing the bond he shares with another musical figure.

In simpler terms, Flavor Flav expressed his admiration for Taylor Swift saying, “I truly appreciate Taylor Swift – you’re familiar with her songs, they carry authenticity.” He added that she writes about many experiences she has gone through, and maintains honesty with her audience. This is the reason he wholeheartedly backs her.
