Rapper Flavor Flav has officially unveiled the custom-made bronze clock necklace he made for athlete Jordan Chiles after the American gymnast after her recent Olympics controversy .
Flavor Flav, aka William Jonathan Drayton Jr., wanted to make sure that the talented gymnast didn't come home from the games empty-handed, so he took matters into his own hands by constructing his very own bronze necklace for her. This sweet gesture from the rapper comes as she was stripped of her third place metal and asked to give it to runner-up Romanian Ana Barbosu due to scoring issues.
The Fight the Power hitmaker shared the finished product for the athlete on X, formerly Twitter, after previously his plans to make the necklace. Flavor Flav initially posted: "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,!!!”

A few hours later, the handy 65-year-old artist shared an update with the completed necklace as he showed off the impressive bronze rhinestoned-covered necklace in a video. Under the clip, he captioned: "USA gonna Fight the Powers that be,,, in the meantime between time,,, Imma always a man of my word @ChilesJordan."
And while Jordan didn't reply to the post herself as she is stepping away from social media at the moment, her sister Gina Chiles sent a special thank you to the rapper on her behalf. She replied: "Thank you. Means the world. She's not on socials right now as you can imagine. I'll share it with her."
Fans of the rapper also took to the comments of the post blown away by how well-made the finished necklace came out and showered him in love for going out of his way to make the metal for her. One fan wrote: "Now that's a medal !! One of a kind too. Flav has a heart of gold." And another added: "I hope both sides of your pillow are always cold you and you always get the best sleep of your life." And a third responded: "This is beautiful! MVP of Olympics right here. You’re the man."
On Saturday, the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) decided to strip Jordan of her floor exercise bronze medal. Jordan originally placed in fifth, scoring 13.666 before her coach Cecile Landi appealed the decision. The judges added 0.1 to Jordan's initial score, bumping her up to third place and moving Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu to fourth. But over the weekend, the CAS later ruled that Cecile's appeal came four seconds too late in order to count, so Ana is now the "real" bronze medal winner.
