Backstreet Boys’ Kevin Richardson addressed the situation involving Flavor Flav at the NBC tree lighting ceremony in New York City on December 4, 2024, during an encounter at LAX. Flav had claimed that he was kicked out of the green room by security at the event, but Kevin explained that he didn’t witness the incident himself. According to Kevin, he saw Flavor Flav before the performance and greeted him, but the backstage area was chaotic with heightened security due to a nearby incident earlier in the day.
Kevin clarified that while Flavor Flav wasn’t on the guest list, he managed to sneak backstage, and when security discovered he was there without an invitation, they asked him to leave. Despite Flav’s online complaints about the situation, Kevin assured that the Backstreet Boys would have supported him if they had known what was happening. He also suggested that next time, Flavor Flav might want to RSVP to avoid any confusion.
