Flavor Flav, a fervent admirer of Taylor Swift, has shared his thoughts on not receiving an invitation to her forthcoming nuptials.
The engagement announcement of Taylor Swift to Travis Kelce, a player for the Kansas City Chiefs, was met with enthusiasm by many of her admirers.
Among those thrilled by the news was Public Enemy rapper Flavor Flav, who has been a long-time fan of Swift.
Within her fan community, he has even been dubbed King Swiftie, a title he proudly accepts.
Earlier this year, Flavor Flav, whose real name is William Jonathan Drayton Jr., performed Swift’s song Bad Blood on The Masked Singer at the age of 66.
In March, he spoke to People about their relationship and described her as ‘one of the most important artists of our time’ following his performance.
Talking to the publication, he stated: “I always go hard for Taylor Swift. The Swifties, they know how hard I go in for Taylor Swift.
“The Swifties gave me a brand new name called King Swiftie. So I’m King Swiftie. I’m king of all the Swifties, and Taylor, she knows that too. I love her. I love her work. She’s one of the most important artists of our time. I don’t know no other musical artists that can throw a concert, and it hits the Richter scale. She causes earthquakes.”
Despite his admiration for Swift, he has mentioned that he wasn’t invited to the wedding, which did not come as unexpected news.
Speaking to People, Flav remarked: “No, I didn’t get an invite to the wedding. I ain’t expect one. You know what I’m saying? The whole nine.
“But they know they got my blessings and if she invites me, you dig? All right. I’m going. King Swiftie going to be at the wedding.”
He remains hopeful about the possibility and acknowledges the unpredictability that comes with Swift.
In a humorous twist, Flavor Flav might still make it to the wedding without a formal invitation.
Shortly after the engagement news, Flav shared with People that he was pursuing ordination, just in case the couple might choose him to officiate their ceremony.
He stated at that time: “I’m very happy for her too. You know what I’m saying? Not only that, but she’s about to hopefully one day get married.
“And if she does, hopefully if I have my license in time, I want to be the one officiating the wedding.”
