On 1 March, Chuck D said the group would be “moving forward without Flavor Flav”, his colourful sideman since the inception of the political hip-hop group in the mid-1980s, adding: “We thank him for his years of service and wish him well.” He subsequently claimed he had been sued by Flav – which Flav denied on
