Getting To Know Flavor Flav
Whether you know him as the ultimate hype man for Public Enemy or for his ratings-busting VH1 show Flavor Flav keeps you interested. Even when he’s in between seasons, he’s still indirectly spawning hits for the network'the latest Flav spinoff, “I Love Money,” features nutjobs from past Flavor of Love seasons like Pumpkin, Nibbiz, and Toastee.
When we had a chance to talk to Flav recently, we decided to flip the script and ask him some offbeat questions. What we got in return were some answers that would seem terribly awkward coming from anyone else. Read on to learn about dog-shit cracker sandwiches and how Flav lost his virginity at the tender age of six.
Interview by Joe La Puma
Complex: What would you consider to be your superpower?
Flavor Flav: What do I consider to be my superpower? God. God is my superpower. The Lord Jesus Christ the savior. The creator of the universe. He gives me the power to have a crazy personality that's a lot different from everybody else's.
Complex: So what's the best trick you ever played on someone?
Flavor Flav: The best trick I ever played on someone was putting tacks on my teacher's seat, and when she came to chase me out the class I had a string over the door, I jumped over the string, and she tripped over it and fell in the hallway. She fucked her face on the wall.
Complex: How much trouble you get in for that one?
Flavor Flav: Honestly, I got suspended for three weeks. And my mom beat me when I got home.
Complex: What was the worst trick someone ever played on you?
Flavor Flav: Umm, the worst trick someone ever played on me was when someone put a booger in my hamburger and I ate it.
Complex: How you find out?
Flavor Flav: Nah, I'll tell you the truth okay… For the person that put the booger on my hamburger, I got him back by taking some dog shit and putting it on the Ritz Crackers and he ate that shit.
Complex: [Laughs] So was he tight?
Flavor Flav: Was he pissed? He was shitted for reals! (Laughs) Yea, forreal G. He put a booger on my hamburger so I got him with thinking peanut butter cookie sandwich it was dog shit.
Complex: Speaking of food, I guess, What's your favorite food to barbecue?
Flavor Flav: My favorite food to barbecue is ribs, and chicken. And shrimp! Ribs, chicken, and shrimps! And I like barbeque my steaks! Oh man~~~ Come on! I'm one of the best barbequeist in the world.
Complex: What's your most prized possession?
Flavor Flav: My most prized possession right now is a coo-coo clock that was made for me over in Switzerland. When we were over in Switzerland, they made a Flav Coo-Coo clock. And when it strikes three o'clock you got little Flav that comes out and say “YeahhhhhBoy! YeahhhhhBoy!”
Complex: (Laughs) What movie have you seen the most times?
Flavor Flav: Scarface. That's my favorite movie of all time.
Complex: Whom do you have beef with?
Flavor Flav: I don't have beef with nobody. I eat pork.
Complex: What celebrity intimidates you?
Flavor Flav: Umm…let me see. Well, Denzel Washington that's my man. I love Denzel. I've met Denzel twice in my life, and every time I've met Denzel I was crazy star struck G.
Complex: Where did you lose your virginity?
Flavor Flav: Where did I lose my virginity? I lost my virginity in the bushes on a box.
Complex: Really?
Flavor Flav: Yea, in the bushes on a box. A girl and me were having sex on a box in the bushes, in some big tall bushes.
Complex: How uh…when was this?
Flavor Flav: This was when I was real, real, real, real, young.
Complex: Like elementary school? Or middle school?
Flavor Flav: Nah, I'm a tell you the truth; I lost my virginity when I was 6 years old.
Complex: Really?
Flavor Flav: Yea, man. Because you know we learned to have done the nasty back in the days, and me and this girl we experiment, we were experimenting, and my little joint got hard, I penetrated for about a few seconds.
Complex: I respect that. Early start my man.
Flavor Flav: That's right early start and guess what and I have a great finish right now. [Laughs] Yessir!

Mel 84 July 8, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Where the fuck was his mother at the time of this shit happening? Seriously, cause what mother would leave a 6 year old out and about doing things like these? I have 3 boy ages 7,4, and 1 and I’ll be damned if I lose sight of them. I don’t even let my 7 and 4 yr. old cross the street alone!
Lala July 8, 2008 at 5:49 pm
WOW! 6 man that is crazy. Hey shit happens people. Not everyone has the best parents in the worly ya know.
Cashmere July 9, 2008 at 9:24 am
That is crazy and I sort of don’t believe it. It seems like tis man needs attention and he has plenty of kids to give him it. I’m not a hater and Flav is cool but I think he is a bit cocky and since the show that man is off the hook.
monimomo July 9, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Speak English, dumbass. You sound so ignorant!
I Don't Buy It July 9, 2008 at 4:27 pm
Is it even possible to get an erection at 6 years old?
bahah. July 10, 2008 at 11:47 am
yeah, like…babies can get erections. but not voluntarily. i sort of doubt that he was really six.

Ricardo November 22, 2008 at 4:06 pm
LOOK PEOPLE! No one in there right mind would encorage a 6 yr old to have sex, but DAMN, if the man did it, HE DID IT! Flav is a nasty looking muthafucka in general, but his youthful experiments gives u an idea of the environment he was in as a child. SO OVERALL, stop hatin bitches!
shaniqua January 5, 2009 at 10:46 pm
yo nigga bitches this shit be wack it done blow my mizzle fo shizzle
Richard Galden January 5, 2009 at 10:48 pm
Your colloquialisms are upsetting.
shaniqua January 5, 2009 at 10:55 pm

Richard Galden January 5, 2009 at 11:04 pm
I’m sorry, but I only happen to be a black history proffesor at Yale University, which has one of the most prestigous black history programs in the continental United States. But you are correct, Shaniqua, I must know nothing about the plight of the African American female. I suppose the lecture courses I teach on Harriet Tubman and the underground railroad or the Triangular Trade Route in the seventeenth century weighs with no significance of my knowledge on the subject. Perhaps we should reconsider whom the bearer of more ignorance is in this situation.
Shaniqua January 5, 2009 at 11:15 pm
( o Y o )
dese be boobs ya know dos things you ain’t neva seen and you wont eva be seein foooooo
dat is what happens when you mess wit a black women wit 14 children ya dats right my babies dadies all 13 of dem aren’t pussi ass bitches dat can’t get action like u because dey dont got sticks up day asses.
Richard Galden January 5, 2009 at 11:23 pm
My condolences for having to upbring fourteen children. Furthermore, aiding in a rampant population explosion is no feat to announce bombastically. In addition, my sex life, which to you is the simplest metaphorical organ to take a stab at due to the steryotyping of someone who is not afraid to talk intelligently, is fantastic. And yes, its complete satisfaction is partially due to my eduaction on the culture of African American sexual technique and culture. So I should be thanking you and your thirteen “Babies Daddies.”
Shanniqua January 5, 2009 at 11:25 pm
fooooo u ain’t worth an ounce of my time go gget laiiiiid fo reals
