Taylor Swift and Flavor Flav, also known as King Swiftie, have a strong friendship. The 65-year-old Public Enemy rapper recently promised to financially support the U.S. Women's Water Polo team in their journey to compete at the Paris Olympics. In response, Taylor Swift has shown her full support for Flavor Flav's generous gesture.

Flavor Flav shared on X that Taylor Swift generously provided free tickets to the water polo team and staff after they reached out to buy a large quantity. The team, led by three-time Olympic gold medalist Maggie Steffens, attended Swift's Eras concert at Paris La Defense Arena last week. Maggie Steffens posted about the experience on Instagram on May 11th.

The 30-year-old athlete shared some photos of the team with the caption, “Wildest Dreams. THANK YOU @taylorswift !!!!! Hoping to channel Taylor energy next time we’re in this arena for #Paris2024 #fearless”

After the team's May 5 Instagram post seeking support for their upcoming Olympic championship defense in Paris, Flavor Flav responded, and Taylor Swift also showed her generosity.

Flavor Flav showed his support for women's sports by commenting, "AYYY YOOO. as a girl dad and supporter of all women’s sports – imma personally sponsor you my girl. whatever you need. And imma sponsor the whole team. My manager is in touch with your agent and imma use all my relationships and resources to help all y’all even more. That’s a FLAVOR FLAV promise. – FLAV”

Afterwards, he went on X to express his support even further.

The US Women’s Waterpolo team has achieved the remarkable feat of winning the GOLD MEDAL THREE OLYMPICS IN A ROW. It is concerning that these talented women have to work 2-3 side jobs just to be able to compete.

In a heartwarming gesture, FLAVOR FLAV has committed to sponsoring and supporting captain Maggie Steffens and the rest of the US Women’s Waterpolo team. Let's cheer on #TeamUSA as they continue to make us proud!

The well-known rapper has declared himself a longtime fan of Taylor Swift, known as a Swiftie. Recently, he showed his support for Swift's new song "thanK you aIMee," which appears to make references to Kim Kardashian in both its lyrics and title.

Flavor Flav shared on April 19 that he always says "KIM," which stands for Keep it Moving.

He had the opportunity to meet his idol at the Grammys on February 4 and mentioned on the NFL Honors red carpet that he was able to spend some time with Taylor at the awards show.

“The discussion was about me congratulating her on all her success. And me being a big fan of hers, a big supporter of hers,” he said.
