Earlier this week, it was reported by several media outlets that Public Enemy group mates Flavor Flav and Chuck D were allegedly at odds because of a lawsuit Flav filed against Chuck. However, Flav tweeted on Thursday that he holds bears Chuck no ill will.
He wrote, “#ATTENTION EVERYONE!! this is Flavor Flav speaking himself,,,,I love my partner Chuck D everyone so don’t get it twisted,, we will fix it !!FF.”
According to TMZ, Flavor Flav is suing Chuck and several Public Enemy producers because “he hasn’t seen a royalty check in several years,” although he “co-wrote more than 50” Public Enemy tracks.
Flav also claims that his voice and image were “used without his consent” on Public Enemy’s “Nothing is Quick in the Desert” — released in June — and that he never received money from the toy company that created Public Enemy action figures. He’s reportedly blaming producer Gary G-Wiz for the toy company offense, since he was the one who allegedly made that deal.
Chuck, on the other hand, told TMZ that Flav “took a wrong road” with his lawsuit and that the rapper is just simply “peeved about a third party merchandiser and the way the record biz now works.”
However, Chuck’s not angry enough to hold a grudge against Flav — he told TMZ, “We will be [together] on a future stage.”
