Chuck D has apparently fired Flavor Flav from Public Enemy

The Bernie Sanders campaign is supposed to be about bringing people together in order to tear down the oppressive structures of our capitalist hell, but it’s having the opposite effect on the members of Public Enemy. Over the weekend, we reported that Chuck D performed at a Sanders rally under the name Public Enemy Radio, which drove iconic Public Enemy hypeman Flavor Flav to send the campaign a cease-and-desist letter because, as Flavor Flav explained it, you can’t call something Public Enemy without having him involved (and he had no interest in being involved, regardless of who Chuck D was endorsing). Chuck D responded by saying that he controls the Public Enemy name and can do whatever he wants with it, and he claimed that Flavor Flav was only mad about the gig because nobody was being paid for it. He also threatened that Flav had a year to “get his act together” or he’d be kicked out of the group permanently.
