Flavor Flav is the official hype man for the U.S. women’s water polo team. This unexpected collab began in May when team captain Maggie Steffens took to Instagram asking for financial help. In response, Flavor Flav stepped in to support the team, using his celebrity status to highlight one of the “most successful and overlooked teams” in the Olympics. But his support extends beyond just financial assistance; when the team first traveled to Paris in May, he arranged tickets for all the players to attend Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. He’s even signed a five-year sponsorship deal with both the U.S. women’s and men’s teams, with the goal to “elevate the visibility and excitement surrounding water polo in the U.S.” (The Guardian)
