It’s no secret that Flavor Flav loves the Olympics.

The rapper and Public Enemy member has become one of the loudest supporters of women’s sports in the past few Olympic cycles. He is a sponsor and the “official hype man” for USA Water Polo. In October 2025, he announced he was bringing the hype to the Winter Olympics as a sponsor for USA Bobsled and Skeleton.

Now, after the USA women’s hockey team declined a perfunctory invitation to the State of the Union address after President Donald Trump shared a chummy locker room phone call with the men’s team—in which they laugh at the prospect of the women’s gold medalists attending—Flavor Flav is once again stepping up.

He’s invited the female Winter Olympic and Paralympic medalists to Las Vegas for a weekend of celebration this summer, bringing on MGM Resorts, The Gist, and more sponsors for the three-day “She Got Game” weekend.

After the women’s Olympic hockey team—which won gold in overtime against Canada in Milan—skipped the State of the Union address, Flavor Flav was quick to issue a public alternative invitation on social media, offering up a celebratory trip to Las Vegas.

A post on X on Thursday confirmed the “She Got Game” weekend will be held July 16 to 19 in collaboration with MGM Resorts and the women-led sports media brand The Gist.

Flavor Flav’s vision for the weekend is all about building up the female Olympic and Paralympic medalists. His posts promise nice dinners, concerts, shows, and a big party—all to support women’s sports.
