NextImg:Flavor Flav Honors Jordan Chiles With A Medal-Worthy Gift At VMAs
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Flavor Flav gave Jordan Chiles a dazzling surprise at the MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday, after the gymnast’s Olympic bronze medal was stripped from her this summer.

The Public Enemy rapper — who became a beloved hype man for Team USA at the Paris games this summer — previously vowed to come through with a gift “NO ONE else has” in the form of a sparkling bronze-colored clock, a piece that takes inspiration from Flav’s iconic accessory.

The moment came roughly a month after an arbitration panel said it wouldn’t reconsider its decision on Chiles’ medal. USA Gymnastics pledged to continue to “pursue every possible avenue and appeal process,” including a potential court case.

Flav, who took the stage with Chiles to present the Best Collaboration category, turned the VMAs appearance into a “little Olympic moment.”

“I know they tried to take your medal away from you, but you know what? I got you something that they can’t take away from you,” said Flav, before showing the gift to Chiles.

The gymnast glowed with a smile as Flav tied a string necklace with the clock on it around her neck. Then, as Chiles looked on, stunned, Flav donned a Team USA water polo hat.

“Wow, what? I don’t even know what to say here,” Chiles said.

You can catch the sweet moment below.
