Flavor Flav invites USA women's hockey team to 'real celebration'

LAS VEGAS – Rapper Flavor Flav invited the women's U.S. hockey team to celebrate their gold-medal win in Las Vegas on social media Feb. 23.

The Public Enemy founding member wrote on social media that if the team, "wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times." He added that he would also "gots to invite my Bobsled + Skeleton team too."

Flav served as the official hypeman for Team USA Bobsled and Skeleton team in Italy and for the U.S. water polo sides in Paris during the 2024 Summer Games.

The invite comes on the heels of the women's hockey team declining an invitation to the State of the Union address from the White House.

A USA Hockey spokesperson previously confirmed the invitation to USA TODAY and said that the team would not be able to attend the speech citing "previously scheduled academic and professional commitments following the Games."

President Donald Trump spoke to the men's team, connecting through FBI Director Kash Patel, following their victory over Canada. He invited them to attend the address and said, "I must tell you, we're going to have to bring the women's team, you do know that?" Trump added that he "probably would be impeached" if he did not invite the women's team.

USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Flavor Flav and USA Hockey for comment and did not receive an immediate response.
