The Flavor Flav Roast will air Sunday, August 12 at 10PM on Comedy Central.
After 30 years in the business, Flavor Flav is getting clocked. Roasters Snoop Dogg, Lisa Lampanelli, Ice T, Patton Oswalt, Jimmy Kimmel, Carrot Top and more will join Roast Master Katt Williams as they take on Flav’s history of lovin’, lampin’ and yeeeeeah boooooyin’.
Flavor Flav (born William Jonathan Drayton Jr.) was a founding member of the seminal ’80s political rap group Public Enemy. He is considered to be one of the first ‘hype men’ in hip hop and became famous for his flair on stage; accessorizing with a large clock around his neck and dropping his famous catchphrases. Flav is is best known for his contributions to classic Public Enemy songs like “911 Is a Joke” and “Cold Lampin’ With Flav.”
In recent years, Flavor Flav has become known to a whole new generation of fans as a ubiquitous reality TV star. From his first appearance on VH1’s “The Surreal Life,” Flavor Flav has spawned four more reality shows since: “Strange Love,” “Flavor of Love,” “I Love New York” and “Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School.” It is this long, strange, varied career that will be celebrated Sunday, August 12 at 10pm/9c during the Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav.

Verizon promoted Akon as one of the musicians on its mobile-phone music service, and said it would no longer sponsor the Gwen Stefani tour in which Akon, who recently performed on “American Idol,” is the opening act.
The rapper invited 15-year-old Danah Alleyne onto the stage, and the girl obliged, thinking that she was entering a dance contest to win a “trip to Africa,” as Akon promised. But when Alleyne “won” the contest, the “trip to Africa” turned out to be an on-stage encounter with Akon during which her “head was hitting the floor, said Alleyne to the Trinidad Express (via FOX News).
In its account of the incident, the Trinidad Express said that the “Smack That” rapper was “turning, twisting and even flipping [the girl’s] body,” while “mimicking sexual positions” and sandwiching the girl with the assistance of another performer. The Security Minister Fitzgerald Hinds said, in FOX News’ report, that Akon should be prosecuted.
A rep for Verizon told TMZ they were sponsoring Akon and made a decision this week to end the relationship for, as they called it, “reasons.” Beyond that, the rep would not elaborate.

According to the NYPD, the rapper, driving a 2006 GMC Yukon Denali, was pulled over on the far West side of Midtown Manhattan at 12:48 AM, because the car’s windows were too dark. When cops encountered Rhymes (real name: Trevor Smith), they noticed a “strong odor of alcohol” on his breath and issued a field sobriety test. He was then taken into custody on a charge of driving while impaired and booked at the Midtown North Police Precinct.
A message left for Rhymes’ lawyer, Scott Leemon, was not immediately answered.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s office said only that Rhymes “had not been arraigned.” The rapper awaits trial next Tuesday on two assault charges from last year.
