Flavor Flav Will Hook Up U.S. Women's Olympic Water Polo Team With Custom Clocks If They Win Gold
If all goes well for the U.S. Women's Olympic Water Polo team, they'll be leaving Paris with more than just gold medals around their necks. Flavor Flav plans to hook the athletes up with their own custom clocks!
"If that's their wish," Flav said. "If that's their wish, listen, I got 'em!"
The time-piece-loving rapper is actually sponsoring the whole team at the 2024 Summer Olympics, and he plans to be there to watch the team pursue its fourth-consecutive gold medal.

It all started with a May 4 Instagram post by Team USA captain Maggie Steffens saying the team needed financial help. She explained that while USA Water Polo and the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee help to fund the team and its travels, they also need additional support from donors.
"Many of my teammates aren’t just badass champions, but also teachers, business owners, coaches, physicians assistants, and more," Steffens wrote. "Some may not know this, but most Olympians need a 2nd (or 3rd) job to support chasing the dream (myself included!) and most teams rely on sponsors for travel, accommodations, nutritional support, rent/lodging, and simply affording to live in this day and age."
After seeing the post, Flav stepped in to bankroll the trip.
"Nobody else is stepping up sponsoring none of these Olympic teams," he told TMZ Sports. "I'm the first to do it! You know what, there's a lot of other people that need to step up to the plate and do what Flavor Flav is doing and sponsor some of these Olympic teams, man."
The U.S. Women's National Water Polo Team has brought home the gold medal at the last three Summer Olympic Games and the last four World Cups.
But a custom, bedazzled red, white and blue clock? That'll be a first.
