Flavor Flav is providing a different perspective on how Chappell Roan has handled fans who don’t respect her boundaries.

During an appearance on this publication‘s Merry Elfin’ Christmas special looking back at 2024, the Public Enemy star addressed Roan’s headline-making statements about her interactions with fans. “Honestly, I do think it’s one of the biggest mistakes she can make because it’s all of the people that make her who she is to society. If people can take their time out for you, you should be able to take your time out for them,” he shared, adding, “I get scared when nobody come up asking for a selfie. I get nervous! I’m like, ‘What did I do? I got on the right clock today?’”

Earlier this year, Roan made headlines when she called out behavior from her fans via social media posts. In a pair of TikToks, the “Pink Pony Club” singer made it clear that regardless of whether or not “abuse and harassment, stalking, whatever, is a normal thing to do to people who are famous,” she will not tolerate the behavior. “That doesn’t make it OK. That doesn’t make it normal. That doesn’t mean I want it, doesn’t mean I like it.”

Shortly after, she canceled two shows just one day before they were due to take place, saying that she felt overwhelmed and needed to take a break to prioritize her mental health.

While Flav thinks that Roan should reconsider how she perceives her fan interactions, a number of celebrities have praised her, including Daniel Craig, who said he admires “the guts to say those things.” Additionally, Miley Cyrus said that she wished people would “not give her a hard time,” adding that “it’s probably really hard coming into this business with phones and Instagram.”
