Bernie Sanders' campaign has touted a downtown Los Angeles event on March 1 headlined by hip hop group Public Enemy. But the group's co-creator, Flavor Flav, isn't pleased

A cease-and-desist letter from a law firm retained by Flav says the use of the group's name for a March 1 event promotes a"false narrative to the American people" since the artist isn't endorsing the candidate.

The artist, real name William Drayton, has enlisted a law firm to try and get the presidential campaign to drop its use of the name Public Enemy in association with the rally because it promotes a "false narrative to the American people" that the group has endorsed Sanders. The letter adds, "The continued publicizing of this grossly misleading narrative is, at a minimum, careless and irresponsible if not intentionally misleading. Flav is reaching out, not in the spirit of division, but for the sake of unity in the hope of preserving the integrity of the Public Enemy Movement and the faith and trust his millions of fans around the world have placed in him."

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 o he's serious!!!😂😂😂

FlavorFlav can’t even get a soul mate to like him for who he is, and yet he thinks his anti endorsement means something.🤣

Clearly says Public Enemy RADIO as the request acknowledges. AND Flavor Flav not being part of the endorsement is what makes it a respectable one. Dude's a clown.

Chuck D is an original founding member and still in the group touring and making music. Flavor Flav isn't. It's not his call what gigs the group does now.

Flavor Flav was always the less political, clownish part of Public Enemy. No respect for this guy... he even skipped out on coming to the gig when I saw PublicEnemy in Sydney.

TezlynFigaro Professor Griff probably doesn't Support Bernie trying to co-opt Public Enemy either. If Bernie Really supported Black people he'd support Reparations instead of saying it is Unfeasable

Too bad for Flavor Flav, Chuck D owns the trademarks:

TezlynFigaro Sounds like he needs to take it up with Chuck D.

Could see why it’s misleading and at the same time, I think Chuck D could perform “Fight The Power” without him being there

How would it feel to allow this clown Bernie to use u to get a minority vote. Pathetic.

let's be honest he was 80% decoration
