Chuck D Says Flava Flav’s ‘Embarrassing’ P.E. Lawsuit claiming Money is Owed To Him

Published

Public Enemy‘s Chuck D is calling out Flava Flav for alleging in court documents that his home burned to ash during the devastating California wildfires.

Previously reported that Flav has been trying to serve the MC with a lawsuit over profits he thinks he’s owed from work with P.E. and claimed in court documents that he was unable to serve the rapper because his “home burned down in the fire.”

 

“An attempt was made again on December 8, 2017, but Ridenhour’s home was in the path of the Ventura County fires. Plaintiff has since learned that Ridenhour’s home burned down in the fire, and he is believed to be living in [a] hotel at an unknown location.”

 

 

Chuck D took to social media and said that his house was damaged by “toxins” and mudslides, and he was also evacuated — but his home is still standing.

In the suit, Flav alleges that money and property rights have been jacked from him and that his voice and image were used on the newly released P.E. album “Nothing is Quick in the Desert” without his consent.

“This action involves the usurpation of money and property rights from Plaintiff William J. Drayton, known as ‘Flavor Flav.’ Drayton is recognized as one of the two key members of groundbreaking Hip Hop group Public Enemy. Public Enemy have been inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame and have sold tens of millions of records,” the suit reads. “Despite Drayton’s position in Public Enemy, the group’s management and related companies have for years attempted to minimize his role in the Public Enemy business, while continuing to rely upon Drayton’s fame and persona to market the brand.”

In a statement to TMZ, Chuck D dismissed the claims and noted that Public Enemy would continue to perform together.

“We will be [together] on a future stage,” Chuck said, adding that Flav “took a wrong turn on this” and “will again be embarrassed admitting on stage about the way it spun out. It’s always this way with him.”

He also posted on Twitter, “Flav will be ok. @tmz Drama is beneath me considering our Age. It’s low entertainment but I definitely like to find those 50 songs he wrote.”

Aro Rose Releases Emotional New Single “Live Without You” — Now Available Worldwide

Published

on

Genre-blending singer/songwriter Aro Rose has officially dropped her highly anticipated new single, “Live Without You,” and it’s now streaming everywhere music lives.

A hauntingly honest track about love, loss, and letting go, “Live Without You” showcases Aro’s signature dark pop aesthetic—think cinematic piano lines, ghostly synths, and lyrics that hit where it hurts. It’s raw. It’s vulnerable. It’s that 3AM track you cry to…and then play again.

“I wrote this one straight from my gut,” Aro says. “It’s about that moment when you realize you’ve outgrown someone you thought you couldn’t live without. There’s sadness in it—but also strength.”

Self-taught and self-made, Aro Rose first turned heads with her distinctive sound that sits somewhere between Lana Del Rey’s noir romanticism and Fiona Apple’s emotional honesty. Since stepping away from the major label system, she’s carved out a fiercely independent path—and “Live Without You” is her boldest, most personal release to date.

The single is produced by longtime collaborators Gabriel Maciocia and Robert Federici, who help bring Aro’s dark visions to life with lush, atmospheric production that lets her voice shine through the shadows.

“Live Without You” is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube, and all major streaming platforms.
