There’s no telling how many clocks Flavor Flav has in his lucrative custom collection, but he decided to give one up for charity earlier this week.
Flav attended the Black Music Action Coalition Gala in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Thursday night (Oct. 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,” Flav said while walking toward the stage in a suit. “We can go to $80,000 or $90,000 for this clock.”
A bidding war ensued for the bedazzled Flavor Flav accessory while he was on stage. 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 stage and fitted the winning man with the black clock right around his neck.
Per TMZ, the iced-out clock was crafted by Rock N Stones by Kellz. 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 rapper such as Gunna and LL COOL J were honored throughout the night in addition to R&B legend Usher, Billboard’s 2024 Entertainer of the Year.
“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,” BMAC CEO Willie “Prophet” Stiggers said ahead of the organization’s fourth annual gala.
Flav is always down to help out for a good cause. Watch the auction clip over at TMZ.

Mustard has had lots of ups and downs over the past few years. The producer scored his first number one single with Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us." He also moved an underwhelming number of units for his last studio album. He announced the birth of his fourth child in July, but has been embroiled in a long and messy divorce with his ex-wife, Chanel Thierry. Fortunately, the latter was resolved on October 14th. TMZ confirmed that a divorce settlement has been reached between Mustard and Thierry, and it's very beneficial for the former.
TMZ reported that Mustard will retain several pricey assets in the divorce. These assets include a mansion in Chatsworth and residential homes in Simi Valley and Los Angeles, respectively. The iconic producer will also get to hold on to several different vehicles. Mustard will retain ownership of a fleet of motorcycles and jet-skis. He will get to keep a number of cars, including a 2022 Maybach Benz, a 2018 Lamborghini Aventador, a 2022 Cadillac Escalade, a 2019 Lamborghini Urus and a 2022 Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The producer is also the owner of a 1960 Chevy Impala 4. Most important of all, though, Mustard will retain the rights to his music catalog.
Chanel Thierry will also be given quite a bit in the divorce. TMZ confirmed that she will be given a one time payment of $315,000 for spousal support. Furthermore, Mustard has decided to give his ex-wife a one time "equalization" payment of $275,000. These lump sums will be accompanied by a Tesla Model X and Sleepova. The latter is a pajama and loungewear company that Thierry founded. She's also going to be given $24,5000 in monthly child support. Thierry has not said anything about the settlement. That said, she has made her disdain for Mustard's actions clear via social media posts over the years.
Thierry exposed Mustard's annual income in an attempt to acquire more child support in June 2023. She also took to Instagram in September to comment on the notion of having kids before marriage. She said she would never make the mistake of having kids before marriage, and fans believed the she was dissing Mustard in her statement. Especially since Mustard is not married to the mother of his most recent child. "At this big grown age of almost being 33," Thierry wrote. "You will see me pop out with a ring before a baby. I wouldn’t make the same mistake I did at 19 at this big age. Learn and [grow]."
