What Happened
Rapper Flavor Flav has extended an invitation to the U.S. women’s hockey team to celebrate their gold medal victory at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Las Vegas. The invitation was made public on social media on February 23, where Flav expressed his desire to host the team for a ‘real celebration’ featuring dinners and shows.
Why It Matters
This invitation follows the women’s hockey team’s decision to decline an invitation to the State of the Union address from President Donald Trump. The team cited ‘previously scheduled academic and professional commitments’ as the reason for their absence. Flav’s offer highlights a contrasting approach to celebrating the team’s achievements, emphasizing a more festive and inclusive atmosphere.
What’s Next
Flavor Flav’s team has indicated they are prepared to facilitate the celebration, including arrangements for accommodations and travel. The U.S. women’s hockey team has yet to respond to the invitation, leaving fans eager to see if they will accept Flav’s offer for a celebration in Las Vegas.
