Even though there’s no telling how many neck clocks Flavor Flav has in what seems to be a custom-made collection, earlier this week, he decided to give one up for charity.
Recently, Flav was down to help out for a good cause, just as when he sponsored the US Women’s and Men’s National Water Polo teams at the 2024 Paris Olympics and also became the team’s official “hype man.”
At an auction that took place at the Black Music Action Coalition (BMAC) Gala in Beverly Hills, one of the rapper’s custom-made timepieces raised $15,000.
Flav attended the Black Music Action Coalition Gala in Beverly Hills, Calif., on October 3, and the Public Enemy rapper stepped up to auction off a blinged-out clock straight off his neck to benefit BMAC initiatives.
“I want to auction off my clock, man. We can go to $80,000 or $90,000 for this clock,” Flav said while walking toward the stage in a suit.

Flavor Flav told the crowd, “The clock was handcrafted by Rock N Stones by Kellz,” as he encouraged high bidding.
The winner at the gala ultimately coughed up $15,000 to get their hands on Flav’s prized possession.
“Sold!” Flav shouted before he jumped off the stage and fitted the winning man with the black clock right around his neck.
The $15,000 donation will go toward initiatives to help address “systemic racism within the music industry” while also preparing the “next generation of industry leaders.”
Outside of Flav’s appearance, other rappers such as Gunna, LL Cool J, and R&B legend Usher were honored on the night
BMAC CEO Willie “Prophet” Stiggers said ahead of the organization’s fourth annual gala:
“When most are turning down the volume around social, racial, and economic justice, we’re doubling down on efforts and spotlighting the positive and meaningful impact that the music industry has made on society, which is what we hope to inspire with this event.”
