Flavor Flav Delivers Pizza, Burgers and Support to Striking WGA Writers

Reality TV personality and rapper Flavor Flav showed support for striking writers on Thursday when he appeared outside Warner Bros. studios.

According to Billboard, the former Public Enemy group member showed up with some eats and to show some solidarity with the writers union, WGA (Writers Guild of America) in their dispute to be paid more equitably against movie and television studios. The workers have been on strike for two weeks now.

Flavor Flav was outside the Warner Bros. studios in Burbank, CA, with the people fighting to be paid more for their efforts. He was there feeding people as the “911 is a Joke” recording artist came through with plenty of pizza, burgers, and fries. TMZ reported that he brought 25 Prince Street pizzas, 100 burgers from Irv’s Burgers and Liquid Death Water.

As he was there, he also took to a bullhorn to offer words of encouragement. As one of his group’s more popular songs, “Fight the Power” blared from speakers, he danced and recited some of the lyrics to the song.

The “Flavor of Love” star also took pictures with the team from the show, Tedd Lasso as well as Quinta Brunson and her “Abbott Elementary” team.

Flavor Flav who has appeared in numerous reality TV shows is standing on the side of the striking writers.

The union decided to go on strike earlier this month after a contract agreement with the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers wasn’t to their liking. In March, the members of the WGA agreed that if a satisfactory contract was not done before the latest one expired, they would walk out.

Earlier this week, Deadline reported that as the strike entered its third week, the state of California is losing almost $30 million a day with no agreement in place. This was stated in a message from the guild’s negotiating committee that was sent out a message on May 16 to members addressing the issue.

Who is BIG CED?

I had the honor of meeting Cedric Thornton at an event in New York around a decade ago (2006). I didn’t understand who he was at first. I thought he was a youthful, friendly, funny guy. As I got to know him though, I realized that Cedric (Big Ced) Thornton was much more. Cedric knew a lot of people and a lot of people knew him. I would soon learn that he, himself was a pioneer of contemporary, commercial, urban culture, having appeared in a few music videos to songs by Monie Love and MC Lyte, in his youth, among other things. Cedric has always been wise beyond his youthful appearance. His sense of humor never strays from the truth. My fondest memory of Ced, was when I was getting my feet wet with digital reporting, and he gave me a few writing assignments. He always referred to me by my last name, “Glinski” and I loved that! Cedric’s level of professionalism and respect, sets him apart. Whether publishing news to his forum, TheIndustryCosign, or holding weekly social events around NY, one could always count on Cedric to be mature and responsible – and also down to earth and funny.

Cedric is a great friend. He has maintained many friendships with people who he’s known most of his life, and has always been instrumental in bringing people together for a good time. Ced is famous for saying, “I don’t get involved; people involve me.” The original phrase is a testament to the fact that many people have confided in Ced, because they trust him. To know him, is to love him.
