Flavor Flav emotionally accepted a clock Maggie Steffens's sister-in-law made before her tragic death.
Since landing in Paris, Flav has been updating his fans on the experience on his social media. In a recent video, he shared his live reaction to receiving a gift from Lulu. In the video, Maggie's husband and Lulu's brother, Bobby Conner , showed him a medallion clock Lulu made for him before she died. The clock was a callback to Flav's famous clocks he's worn since being one of the founding members of Public Enemy.
The video shows Flav hugging Bobby and his relatives as he put it the blue, bedazzled clock around his neck. While speaking with the family, he said, "This is what I'm talking about."
"I'mma be wearing a VERY SPECIAL second clock for the duration of the Olympics and beyond," Flav declared in his caption. "MADE WITH LOVE BY ARTIST LULU CONNER."
The heartwarming gift came just days after Maggie's sister-in-law died at age 26. Lulu died from a "medical emergency" after traveling to Paris to support Maggie and the team. As the polo star continues to mourn while competing, she told The Associated Press that playing is exactly what Lulu would've wanted.
"I just keep trying to remind myself what Lulu would want and how she would be, you know, how can I embody her spirit the best," Maggie said. "And Lulu was somebody that she gave 150 percent to everything she did.”
Maggie married Bobby, Lulu's brother, on Nov. 13, 2023.
