Boosie Badazz was enraged after he was mistaken for Public Enemy hype man and multi-instrumentalist Flavor Flav in April. But now, he’s turning the mistaken identity mishap into an opportunity.
On Sunday (July 11), the outspoken Baton Rouge native shared an Instagram video of himself hanging out with the Hip Hop legend to promote his forthcoming Boosie Bash 3 event.
“Hey yo, check 1, 2!” Flav begins. begins. “This is Flavor Flav. Y’all see this n-gga right here? Hey yo, check this out. You better come to his bash — the Boosie Bash — on August 28. August 27 or the 28th. The Boosie Bash, baby. That’s right. And Flavor Flav! I’m coming.”

He continued, “Flavor Flav … and I kept walkin’. Flav you can’t fuck with me man. Got me talkin’ bout I look like fuckin’ Flavor Flav.”
