Rapper Flavor Flav has agreed to help the U.S. water polo team at the Paris Olympics this summer by becoming the official hype man of the three-time reigning gold medal winners.
Maggie Steffens asked for more support for the U.S. women's water polo team, and the captain received one particularly surprising response., Flavor Flav has stepped forward to help the U.S. team as it goes for an unprecedented fourth consecutive gold medal at the Paris Olympics this summer. He is finalizing a deal that will make him a USA Water Polo sponsor and the official hype man for a program seeking a bigger spotlight.
That -- along with a little nostalgia -- prompted Steffens, 30, the last remaining member of the 2012 team, to post on Instagram. While expressing gratitude for the opportunity to play and her love for her sport, she also encouraged anyone reading the post to check out her team and highlighted the constant financial struggle for most Olympic athletes.
Enter Flav, who was inducted with the group Public Enemy into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. Flav's manager brought the post to his attention, and he decided he wanted to help. Steffens is one of the oldest players on the U.S. team, but she said Ryann Neushul, 24, had Public Enemy in her top five on the music streaming service, Spotify. A couple of the team's coaches and Steffens' family also were excited about the partnership.
