Biden later shared the video on X and added her own caption, “The duo you didn’t know you needed. Love you flavorflav and thank you for all of your support for women’s USAWP. Let’s go TeamUSA.”
Flav was in attendance the same day as the U.S. women’s water polo team’s victorious preliminary match against Greece. He was also present, along with Spike Lee, as the women faced a defeat in a July 29 preliminary match against Spain. Flav showed his support by standing up to energize the crowd after the U.S. team scored a late goal in the match.
In a previous interview with PEOPLE, the Grammy-winning rap icon discussed his choice to sponsor the U.S. women’s water polo team. He was motivated by a conversation with team captain Maggie Steffens, who revealed that many of her teammates hold multiple jobs to support their Olympic aspirations.
“There’s a lot of women, I’m saying that all they want is just a chance,” said the father of four daughters. “And all they want to do is feel like they got a chance. So I just wanted to help out, and help give women that chance that they are looking for.”
