Grammy Award-winning rapper Flavor Flav hopped online to call out NBC after he tried to pay a visit to the Backstreet Boys dressing room at the Rockefeller Tree Lighting.
The Backstreet Boys participated in the tree-lighting ceremony at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan,which was hosted by Kelly Clarkson and broadcast live on NBC.
Flav says NBC blocked him from seeing the group and that the network had security remove him from the venue.
“I feel weird … I was invited to the Rockefeller Tree Lighting tonite [tonight] and I was escorted to see my boys … THE BACKSTREET BOYS … and we were backstage in their dressing room … security came up tp [to] me and says [said] @nbc does not want me in this area and I need to leave,” he wrote on X in a since deleted tweet.
“What did I ever do to NBC or anyone??” he continued, adding, “All I ever do is try to spread joy and love … and I think I did that for NBC at the Olympics.”
