The 2024 Summer Olympics are but a memory at this point, but for Public Enemy rapper Flavor Flav the flame burns on. The excitable hip-hop hype man isn’t done boosting the names and stories of U.S. athletes, including the paralympians who are gearing up to take the stage in Paris next week.
“THIS is just one of the many @gofundme for the @Olympics and @Paralympics that I support,” tweeted Flav about the games that will take place from August 28-Sept. 8. “Imagine spending 18 years taking ya kid to every practice and game and working 2-3 jobs to buy equipment,,, and then not being able to watch them play the biggest game of they life.”
Flav was responding to a post from Paralympic sprinter Nick Mayhugh, who earlier this month wrote, “HELP SEND MY PARENTS TO PARIS! [gold medal emoji]. I created a @gofundme to help pay for expenses to send my parents to the #Paralympics! They’ve never been out of the country, & couldn’t watch me compete in Tokyo due to COVID. Any & all donations are appreciated!” The rapper was one of more than 300 people who’ve donated anywhere from $5-$500 to the cause; he appears to have donated $100 under his birth name, William Drayton. So far, the campaign has raised $11,126 of its $10,000 goal.

Three-time gold medalist Mayhugh is a 28-year-old Paralympian who just qualified for his second Paralympic team. The athlete who discovered he had cerebral palsy at age 14, helped the U.S. Men’s National Para Soccer team win its first bronze medal at the 2019 Para Pan American Games and then switched to track for the Tokyo Olympics, where he won a trio of golds in the 100M T37, 200m T37 and the 4X100m medley at the 2021 Games.
“I am humbly asking for any and everyone’s help to get my parents over to Paris to watch me compete for Team USA and bringing home more gold medals!” Mayhugh wrote in his GoFundMe.
Flav has been all-in with the U.S. squad this year, pledging $1,000 and a cruise for all the members of the U.S. Women’s Water Polo team and helping to cover rent costs for 24-year-old discus thrower Veronica Fraley and, before it was restored, offering gymnast Jordan Chiles a giant, bejeweled bronze clock in place of the bronze medal that was briefly stripped from her over a technicality.
The friendship with the water polo squad rambled on to Las Vegas recently, where the PE hype man got hype with the athletes at Resorts World on Saturday night, after being welcomed to the resort with a giant American flag display on the hotel’s facade. “imma so proud of all these women. Look at all the support and attention brought to this sport and women’s athletics. We changing the game and that is something BIG to celebrate,” Flav wrote on Instagram alongside video and photos of him partying with the women.

Dr. Dre wants to suit up for Team USA when the 2028 Summer Olympics come to Los Angeles. The West Coast rap legend recently opened up about his hopes to compete on the archery team, and a two-time gold medalist is willing to help him.
California’s own archery savant Justin Huish spoke to TMZ Sports about potentially training Dr. Dre with the goal of getting the musician to the Olympic Games, and Huish thinks it’s possible the rapper could thrive.
“Archery is kind of like golf — anyone can do it at any age. There’s not really an age limit. I’m gonna be 50 years old myself and I’m still competing at a high level,” he said. “We’ve had times where someone has made the team where someone isn’t in the archery team in years past.”
Trending on Billboard
Huish continued: “It really would matter would he be able to put the time and effort in fast-tracking that … It’s a six- or seven-hour per day endeavor to really get good. You can be a phenom and you don’t really know.”
Huish was the first male archer to win double gold medals when he claimed the top spot in the individual and team events at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. He also offered a helping hand to Dre if he wants to take his game to another level.
“Dr. Dre, hit me up. I’ll be there. I live in SoCal. I’ll come to your house,” Huish added to TMZ Sports. “I will train, I will dedicate my time to train with you. I will give you all my top sponsors for the best equipment money can buy … I can get you in contact with our top U.S. Olympic coaches. Anything you need. If you’re really serious about this, hit me up.”
Dr. Dre — who performed alongside Snoop Dogg during the 2024 Summer Olympics’ Closing Ceremony on Aug. 11 — recently put his cards on the table when telling Entertainment Tonight about his plans to suit up for Team USA. His relationship with the sport goes back to junior-high school, and he has a setup in his backyard.
“I’m trying to try out for the Olympics in 2028 … archery. I’m dead-a– serious,” he insisted. “I actually started playing around with archery in junior high. I stopped for a while and my son bought me a setup I don’t know if it was for my birthday or Father’s Day or something like that, so I have it set up in my backyard. And I heard qualifying for the Olympics is 77 feet and I practice at 90 [feet].”
Dre went on about the potential feat: “Yeah, wouldn’t that be interesting to go, especially with it being here in L.A. and win the gold medal … I feel like I could do anything.”
If Dre can pull it off, he’ll be 63 years old at the time of the 2028 Olympics, which is taking place on the USA’s home soil.

Breakdancing debuted as an Olympic sport at the 2024 Olympics in Paris — and a Canadian competitor won a gold medal in its first year.
The Vancouver-based Phil Wizard, born Philip Kim, took home the gold in breaking, beating France’s own Dany Dann in the final.
Breaking won’t be at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, but the art form that began on the streets of the Bronx as one of the four pillars of hip-hop was well represented at this year’s event. The men’s tournament, which took place on Saturday (Aug. 10), was filled with impressive moves as dancers battled each other one-on-one.
Unlike other music-based events like rhythmic gymnastics or synchronized swimming, the breakers didn’t know which songs they would be dancing to, which meant there was a heavy dose of improv. The DJ played plenty of hip-hop classics, from A Tribe Called Quest‘s “Scenario” to Method Man‘s “Judgement Day” to “Live at the Barbeque” by New York/Toronto group Main Source.
Wizard and his competitors busted out some head-spinning moves, showing off the art of breaking to the world after a competitor at the previous day’s women’s tournament made news for different reasons. After going viral for her less-than-crisp bunny hops and sprinklers, Raygun (a.k.a. Australia’s Rachael Gunn), has faced significant backlash and accusations of rigging the process to get to the Olympics.
“I didn’t realize that would open the door to so much hate,” Gunn said in a statement this week. “Which has frankly been pretty devastating. While I went out there and I had fun, I did take it very seriously. I worked my butt off preparing for the Olympics and I gave my all, truly.”
Trending on Billboard
The tone was different for Wizard, who expressed his thanks on Instagram this week.
“The sheer amount of love and support from this past week has warmed my heart,” he said. “My goal winning aside was to enjoy the moment as much as possible, as it was years in the making coming down to one moment. I didn’t want to let that one moment define me ever, and I wanted to show how much love I have for this art, dance, community, sport. Looking back I can’t help but be in awe of everyone that showed up, both on and off the field. The camaraderie between all the competitors was truly beautiful, all knowing how hard it was to get here.” – Richard Trapunski
Tragically Hip Docuseries ‘No Dress Rehearsal’ Will Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival
A beloved Canadian band is shedding new light on their journey. The Tragically Hip, who are celebrating 40 years since their founding, will premiere a long-promised new Prime Video docuseries at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September.
The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal is directed and produced by late frontman Gord Downie‘s older brother Mike and features never-before-seen footage of the band. It tells the story of their rise to popularity — the band has nine No. 1 albums in Canada and 17 Junos, and is synonymous with Canadian music for many listeners — and the tragic loss of Downie from brain cancer in 2017.
“This project is a labour of love,” said Mike Downie in a statement. “We set out to understand what held the band together, what pushed them apart and how they captured the hearts and minds of so many fans both in Canada and around the world.”
The brand new trailer for the four-episode series features reflections from the band members on The Hip’s ups and downs as well as their final tour with Downie in 2015 after his diagnosis. The interviews are accompanied by concert footage and commentary from well-known Canadians like actor Will Arnett and broadcaster George Stroumboulopoulos. The band’s longtime manager, Jake Gold, serves as an executive producer.
After its TIFF premiere, the series will stream on Prime Video, though no date is available yet. Incidentally, the series follows another recent Prime Video documentary on a Canadian icon dealing with illness: I Am: Céline Dion.
TIFF 2024 is also set to feature appearances from musicians like Bruce Springsteen, Elton John and Pharrell Williams. The festival runs Sept. 5-15. – Rosie Long Decter
PartyNextDoor Re-Enters Canadian Albums Chart Following Drake Collaboration News
A local star is back on the Canadian Albums chart this week after a headlining-grabbing performance at Toronto’s Budweiser Stage.
PartyNextDoor‘s PartyNextDoor 4 (P4) has re-entered the chart at No. 87 following that headlining show, which saw a special appearance by Party’s longtime collaborator Drake.
After playing his own set, Drake brought PartyNextDoor back to the stage before the show’s end to duet on “Come and See Me” and announce some special news: “We’ve been working on something for y’all,” he said. “When it gets a little chilly, PartyNextDoor and Drake album will be waiting right there for you.”
In the meantime, Party’s own album has seen a resurgence, re-entering the chart where it spent three previous weeks and peaked at No. 13. The album is also on the Billboard 200 albums chart at No. 152 (Canadian Albums only has 100 spots).
Also on the Canadian Albums chart this week, Punjabi artist Navaan Sandhu has debuted at No. 97 with his album, The Finest. Amritsar-born Sandhu has been racking up millions of streams with the album, and the music video for its title track, released two weeks ago, has 2.9 million views.
The chart debut is yet another indicator of Punjabi music’s popularity in the country, with artists like Diljit Dosanjh, Karan Aujla and AP Dhillon seeing similar success on Canada’s charts over the last year.

This summer, nothing has been bigger than the Paris Olympics. The global games — held across 17 days from late July through last Sunday’s Closing Ceremony — set all kinds of records. They drew an average U.S. daily viewership of 30.6 million, an 82% jump from the 2021 Tokyo Games, and created worldwide stars out of some of the top athletes on the planet.
The Paris Games culminated in that star-studded Closing Ceremony, which featured a huge performance headlined by French band Phoenix in the iconic Stade de France, with onstage assists from Air, Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig and French producer Kavinsky, among others. The Closing Ceremony drew more than 20 million viewers in the U.S. alone, while its effect led to a giant surge in streams and sales for Phoenix and Kavinsky in particular: Streams for Phoenix’s catalog jumped 86% over the prior week following the performance, while Kavinsky’s “Nightcall” broke the record for most Shazams in a single day and saw its streams grow 74%.
But it was also a massive showcase for one of the most successful groups of the past few decades and one of the top French groups of all time — and it helps their manager, C3’s Matt Sadie, earn the title of Billboard’s Executive of the Week. Here, Sadie talks about all the work that went into the performance behind the scenes, the platform of performing in front of an estimated 800 million people worldwide and what this means for the band. “There have been so many times over the years when we — the management team and Branco, Christian, Thomas and Deck in the band — have all worked very, very closely to bring their special vision to fruition,” Sadie says. “The Olympics performance felt like a real crowning moment in Phoenix’s career, and I am thrilled to have been a part of it.”
Trending on Billboard
This week, Phoenix performed in Paris for the Olympics Closing Ceremony, a huge event for the band and the country. How did that come together, and what key decisions did you make to help make that happen?
As soon as Paris was given the Olympics for 2024 back in 2017, we immediately identified the opportunity internally. It felt very logical that a band of their international stature, from near Paris and largely based there, should have a place in the Olympics. The Opening and Closing Ceremonies were definitely top of the list.
Clearly, the Olympics team weren’t at the stage of picking acts for the ceremonies in 2017, but around two years ago, alongside my counterpart in France, Laurence Muller, and the band’s agent in France, Sofiene Bijaoui from Corida, we identified who the powers that be were and began conversations. There was a lot of perseverance from everyone on the team. In the meantime, last year we planned the band’s touring to keep them in Europe over this summer, leaving gaps in the schedule where the Opening and Closing Ceremonies were. This allowed the flexibility needed in case the call came, which it eventually did.
What are the considerations when putting an act onto an event as prestigious as the Closing Ceremony? Was there any hesitation or was it an automatic yes?
How do you say no? Given the scale of the opportunity and the very natural connection in being a French band from the area, it was as close to an automatic yes as one can get. In our conversations with the Olympics team, we were immediately given a lot of independence in putting their set together — there was simply the remit that the performance had to feel like a party for the athletes and that we had 15-17 minutes to play with. Knowing that the band would be playing to a global audience of around 800 million, the priority for us was to put a show together which would have the potential to appeal to people who’d never heard of Phoenix before and would remind those who had why they’ve continued to be one of the most beloved artists of the last 20 years. We immediately felt the pre-conditions of the set given to us by the Olympics meant that this was a no-brainer.
How did you prepare for this differently than any other gig?
Pretty much every aspect of this show required preparations that were different to a normal show for the band. It was very much non-stop from myself, Laurence and the rest of the team from the moment we got the green light.
The band haven’t played a medley set of this kind before, so that was a challenge in itself. They knew they wanted to have some guests, so identifying them, getting them on board, and working through logistical gymnastics was pretty consuming for all. For the band, having the acts they wanted to join them in Air, Kavinsky, Angele, Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend and VannDa, was a very different approach to a normal show but one they relished.
If you’ve seen them play before, you’ll know that the band have always put a lot of focus into the production at their live shows. They’d usually have the control and time to finesse it into something very special. We had neither of those luxuries here; we were simply told, “You’ll be playing on a stage in the middle of the stadium which is shaped like the world map — you’ll be playing in Africa.” We worked closely with the team to create a scenario which would work for the band and their guest performers. Playing in a stadium is very different to a festival show or the sheds the band played at during their recent U.S. co-headline run with Beck, but it gave our brilliant lighting designer Pierre Claude a huge scale of production elements to work with. His efforts to pull things together were truly herculean.
We’ve done plenty of live streams — from festivals and most recently with Air from the roof of the Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris, but this was on a whole different scale, with over 80 cameras in the stadium capturing the show. We also weren’t in control of the direction during the livestream. As a solution, Laurence brought in David Ctiborsky from Blogotheque, who’d worked closely with the band on various livestreams, to ensure that the various “moments” were filmed effectively, advising the team from the Olympics capturing it. We also were conscious that this was being broadcast around the world via local broadcasters, so talking points on each of the songs and artists involved was critical promotionally.
Outside of the show itself, promoting it was very different from any other show. Rather than the usual heavy promotion into a show, news of their performance was technically embargoed until the last minute, despite the odd leak here and there. This meant that we had to be reactive with media after the fact, which we were ready to do via our PR — Jen Appel of The Oriel and Nathalie Ridard of Ephelide — our digital marketing team, Dream Team, and the team at C3 Management.
With the band appearing onstage with Kavinsky and Air, and the closing ceremony also featuring a medley of Justice songs, what does it all say about the importance of electronic music to French culture?
To their credit, in choosing artists from the “French Touch” movement, the creative team behind the Closing Ceremony identified something very special that France brought to the world. Daft Punk, Air, Phoenix, Justice and many more have had a huge, and sometimes unsung, impact on music globally, not just in the electronic space. To my mind, it’s one of the country’s greatest present-day cultural exports. Highlighting it in the ceremony really allowed them to celebrate something uniquely French but also globally relevant and ultimately timeless.
What position does a performance like this put the band in, in terms of their next moves? How do they capitalize on the moment?
Clearly this has been a huge watershed moment for the band globally. Every metric has shown that this week, notably seven of the top 11 songs on Shazam this week are from their set, including Kavinsky’s “Nightcall” receiving the most Shazams of any song in a day ever. We’ve seen serious growth on socials and streaming numbers, alongside a vast amount of media coverage. There’s no doubt that a huge number of people have discovered the band, and I’m sure many others have enjoyed being reminded of some of their favorite songs from the last couple decades. The performance has opened a lot of doors already and we’re still seeing the impact in real time.
More than anything, though, after more than a decade as one of the band’s managers, I’m proud of them for always being open to new challenges that push us all creatively and beyond. There have been so many times over the years when we — the management team and Branco, Christian, Thomas and Deck in the band — have all worked very, very closely to bring their special vision to fruition. The Olympics performance felt like a real crowning moment in Phoenix’s career, and I am thrilled to have been a part of it.

Snoop Dogg was the face of the 2024 Olympics in Paris. But, Flavor Flav has definitely been one of its fairy godfathers.
The Public Enemy legend sponsored the Women’s Water Polo team and helped an Olympian pay her rent while she was at the games.
Earlier this week, Flav offered to create a bronze clock for gymnast Jordan Chiles who represented Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. She finished fifth in the individual floor exercise on Aug. 5 with her Beyoncé-inspired routine–and was later bumped up to third place, though, after her coach Cecile Landi submitted an inquiry about a split leap, claiming she didn’t receive credit for it.
“Ayyy YOOOO @ChilesJordan,,, imma make you a BRONZE CLOCK NECKLACE,,, and that’s something NO ONE else has,!!! Hit me up my girl,,, I gotchu,!!!” Flav wrote on X (formerly Twitter), where he added a GIF of himself dancing at the Olympics while wearing a clock necklace of his own.
According to Newsweek, Chiles told NBC after the win that the accomplishment was “a dream come true,” she added, “It’s my first time ever in an event final. Like we said, it was a redemption tour, and I just wanted to come out and do the best that I could. So, this medal means everything. First event final, first event medal, like, oh my gosh! I have no words, but I’m very proud of myself.”
However, that dream quickly turned to disappointment when the Romanian Federation of Gymnastics filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), alleging that Chiles’ inquiry had been submitted too late. The court agreed, and Chiles has been ruled to be in fifth place and has to return her bronze medal. However, Team USA Olympics has vowed to keep fighting for her to keep it.
Recently, Flavor Flav showed off the custom clock on X, writing, “USA gonna Fight the Powers that be,,, in the meantime between time,,, Imma always [be] a man of my word @ChilesJordan,” he referenced Public Enemy’s infamous song “Fight the Power.”
When Flav first made the offer, Gina Chiles–the gymnast’s mother commented, “Thank you. Means the world. She’s not on socials right now as you can imagine. I’ll share it with her.”
Today, Jordan Chiles returned to social media briefly to release a statement saying the decision to strip her of her medal “feels unjust and comes as a significant blow, not just to me, but to everyone who has championed my journey.”
She added, “I will never waver from my values of competing with integrity, striving for excellence, upholding the values of sportsmanship and the rules that dictate fairness. I have taken pride in cheering on everyone regardless of team or country. Finding joy has been a culture shift and I love seeing others embrace it. I feel like I have given everyone permission to be authentic to who they are.”
In the wake of a 2024 Olympics Closing Ceremony that dealt heavily in French indie and electronic music, one of the featured songs — Kavinsky‘s 2010 electronic classic “Nightcall” — has experienced a major streaming surge. On Saturday (Aug. 10), the day before the Closing Ceremony was held in Paris, “Nightcall” had 281,000 total global […]

A petition calling for action against alleged misconduct by Paris Olympics breaker Raygun went viral with over 58,000 signatures.
The Paris Olympic Games have ended, but the controversy over Australian B-girl Raygun and her performance – which included a move some called a “kangaroo hop” – is ongoing. It led to an online petition that was created accusing her of “unethical conduct,” which has garnered thousands of signatures. The petition, which was created on Tuesday (Aug. 13) by an individual identifying themselves as “Someone Who hates corruption,” was on Change.org and at last report had over 58,000 signatures.
“We, the undersigned, call for immediate accountability and transparency in the recent actions of Rachel Gunn and Anna Mears in the selection process for Australia’s female breakdancer representative at the upcoming Olympics,” the petition begins. “Rachel Gunn, who set up her own governing body for breakdancing, has manipulated the selection process to her own advantage. Despite the clear talent and qualification of other outstanding female breakdancers like G Clef and Holy Molly, they were unfairly overlooked. The NT Youlong Boys, a group of incredibly talented and underprivileged youth from the Northern Territory, were denied crucial funding by Dr. Gunn to attend the qualifiers—a decision that directly impacted their chance to showcase their skills on a national stage.” The theory sprang up online after Raygun aka Rachel Gunn earned an astonishing score of zero through her three preliminary rounds of competition, which became viral across social media leading to a bevy of memes making fun of her.
The Sydney Morning Herald began their investigation into Gunn, a lecturer at the Department of Media, Communications, Creative Arts, Language and Literature at Macquarie University in Sydney. They found that the claim behind the online petition wasn’t true and that Gunn advanced due to coming in first in one of three regional competitions. The Change.org petition has since been taken down after requests from the Australian Olympic Committee on Thursday (Aug. 15). AOC spokesman said in a statement that Gunn was “selected through a transparent and independent qualification event and nomination process.”
Gunn, however, is still dealing with the international response to her Olympic showing calling it “pretty devastating” but remaining positive. “I went out there, and I had fun. I did take it very seriously. I worked my butt off preparing for the Olympics, and I gave my all. Truly,” she said in an ESPN interview.

American sprinter Noah Lyles is facing backlash after being spotted out partying in Paris days after his COVID-19 diagnosis.
The 2024 Paris Olympic Games ended Sunday (Aug. 11). Still, track superstar Noah Lyles had social media buzzing after he was spotted on video partying days after revealing he was dealing with COVID-19. Lyles, who won the men’s 100 meter, was spotted on video at L’Arc nightclub hours after the closing ceremonies dancing while draped in an American flag to a Pop Smoke song. The footage surprised many who expressed frustration. Lyles’ diagnosis was revealed after he collapsed on the track after the 200 meter men’s final on Thursday evening, leading to him having to be wheeled out in a wheelchair.
Lyles would later share a picture of a negative COVID test in a post on X, formerly Twitter, Saturday (Aug. 10), with the caption, “Thank God, I am Covid free.” Lyles would capture bronze in the 200 meter, which he has proven to be dominant in past track and field competitions, but he would pull out of the men’s 4×100 relay final. The U.S. team would later be disqualified for an invalid baton exchange, extending their medal drought – the team hasn’t won gold since the 2000 Sydney Games, and last medaled in 2004 with a silver at the Athens Games.
The 27-year-old confirmed that he had tested positive for COVID-19 that Tuesday beforehand, which meant that he ran the 100 meter while sick. He wanted to run despite the diagnosis, and permission was granted by the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee. In an interview with the Associated Press that day, Lyles spoke about his thoughts on being diagnosed, saying that he was more concerned about the severe effects of the virus than his temperature (he suffers from asthma), which shot up to 102 degrees, according to his coach Lance Bauman.
Lyles denied that, saying the highest it reached was 99 degrees. “Then asthma joining in on that and making it even worse, that was our worst fear,” he said. “We were back in the medical bay underneath the track. Their biggest concern was me getting bronchitis because we didn’t want something to get infected and the asthma really starts to take form. We really had to jump on top of that.”
