Flavor Flav has no problem uplifting those around him. He’s basically been on a tour giving fellow celebrities he adores their flowers, and now it’s Selena Gomez’s turn.
Flav took to X on Monday (Nov. 4), where he applauded Gomez’s strength and how candid she’s been with her mental health publicly. “I don’t know her personally,,, but Selena Gomez is one of the STRONGEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL people inside and out,” he gushed. “I applaud her for being so open about her health and mental health. And I applaud her even more for clapping back at haterz,,, but she shouldn’t have to.”
The 32-year-old actress has been open about her mental health and lives with lupus, along with being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Gomez’s My Mind and Me documentary gave fans an even deeper look into her health battles, and she also launched the Rare Impact Fund to provide mental health services for the youth in 2020.

People caught up with Gomez in November, and she disclosed some of her best practices when it comes to her mental health. “Try not to isolate,” she said. “I think it’s important to have moments alone. But when you isolate, sometimes those feelings can just stay bottled up.”
She implored people to “find one person to trust and tell your heart to … You can actually trust them with that information. It really does help to share.”
Being the self-proclaimed “King Swiftie,” Flavor Flav was also ecstatic to find out Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift were cool. “Me finding out Taylor and Selena are best friends,” he added on X with a GIF of the pair hanging out together.
