Flav also alleges that his voice and image were used in Public Enemy’s June 2017 album, Nothing Is Quick in the Desert. He says that he was paid just $7,500 for the record instead of the $75,000 he’d requested.
As Variety notes, Flav and Chuck D were the two main members of Public Enemy, though Flav was considered the “goofy hype man” to Chuck D’s “serious musical talent.”
But Chuck D isn’t the only person Flav is suing. Flav’s also filed a lawsuit against producer Gary G-Wiz for authorizing and profiting off of the creation of Public Enemy action figures—without seeking approval from or working out a payment deal for Flav.
According to TMZ, Flav is also suing Chuck D, G-Wiz, and other various managers and producers of Public Enemy for lost profits.
While we wait to see how this legal battle progresses, learn all about why no one hears from Flav anymore.
