Hall of Fame Hip hop group Public Enemy announced on Sunday they are "moving forward" without Flavor Flav -- their founding member and hype man of nearly 40 years -- after the rapper sent a cease-and-desist letter to Bernie Sanders on Friday.

“Public Enemy and Public Enemy Radio will be moving forward without Flavor Flav,” the group said in a statement, according to Rolling Stone. “We thank him for his years of service and wish him well.”

The move was made in response to a letter sent by Flavor Flav's lawyer Matthew Friedman after member Chuck D planned to perform at the candidates' California rally on Sunday.

Flavor Flav accused the campaign of using his likeness and trademarked oversized clock at the rally even though he "has not endorsed any political candidate in this election cycle."

“While Chuck is certainly free to express his political view as he sees fit -- his voice alone does not speak for Public Enemy,” the letter obtained by Fox News said. “The planned performance will only be Chuck D of Public Enemy, it will not be a performance by Public Enemy. Those who truly know what Public Enemy stands for know what time it is, there is no Public Enemy without Flavor Flav."

The letter added that "Sanders had promised to 'Fight the Power' with hip-hop icons Public Enemy, but this Rap Icon will not be performing at the Sanders rally."

Chuck D clarified on Twitter Sunday afternoon the last straw between the two was long ago, adding that "FLAV" refused to support Sankofa, a social justice organization described to give voices to those in need and promote "peace & equality."

"It's not about BERNIE with Flav... he don’t know the difference between BarrySanders or BernieSanders he don’t know either," he said.

Megan Thee Stallion says a simple request to renegotiate her contract turned into a stalemate that's keeping a lid on any new tunes.

The rapper took to IG Live Sunday to call her out her record label, 1501, claiming they're not allowing to drop any new music for the time being -- all because, as she claims, MTS asked them to tweak some fine print in the deal she's signed with them at a young age.

Megan says she signed with 1501 when she was about 20 years old, and there were a lot things in her contract with them she simply wasn't aware of -- that is, until she started getting managed by Jay-Z's Roc Nation, which pointed a lot of stuff out to her.

Long story short, Meg says everything was all good and dandy until one day she approached the label and asked to renegotiate ... at which point, she says things went "left."

Megan claims as a result of her asking ... the label has put her and any new tunes on ice. She likens the move to nothing more than greed in its purest form -- and it's clear, there's beef.

The bad news is for fans, of course -- 'cause if what she's saying is true, it can mean a whole year without some 'Hot Girl' seasons to bless us. Shame ...

Public Enemy‘s Chuck D has hit out at his bandmate Flavor Flav following Flav’s outburst at Senator Bernie Sanders.

It was recently announced that Public Enemy would be performing at a rally for the presidential hopeful this weekend, though upon the announcement, Flav revealed that it was only Chuck D that would be performing.

Flav then presented a cease and desist letter (obtained by Spin), accusing the Sanders campaign of using the Public Enemy name and “likeness, image and trademarked clock in promotional materials” without his permission.

Chuck D has now responded to the claims, giving his bandmate an ultimatum. “Flavor chooses to dance for his money and not do benevolent work like this,” Chuck said in a statement to HipHopDX. “He has a year to get his act together and get himself straight or he’s out.”

Chuck’s lawyer added: “From a legal standpoint, Chuck could perform as Public Enemy if he ever wanted to; he is the sole owner of the Public Enemy trademark. He originally drew the logo himself in the mid-80’s, is also the creative visionary and the group’s primary songwriter, having written Flavor’s most memorable lines.”

In Flavor Flav’s cease and desist letter, he added that the Sanders campaign created “a false narrative” in stating that Public Enemy would be supporting the senator.

“Sanders has promised to ‘Fight the Power’ with hip hop icons Public Enemy – but this Rap Icon will not be performing at the Sanders Rally,” the letter reads. “To be clear Flav and, by extension, the Hall of Fame hip hop act Public Enemy with which his likeness and name have become synonymous has not endorsed any political candidate in this election cycle and any suggestion to the contrary is plainly untrue. The continued publicizing of this grossly misleading narrative is, at a minimum, careless and irresponsible if not intentionally misleading.”

Only six days after he was stopped by Tyson Fury in seven shockingly one-sided rounds in their WBC/lineal heavyweight title fight, Deontay Wilder has exercised his rematch clause.

He’ll face Fury for a third time later this year, Top Rank president Todd duBoef confirmed to Yahoo Sports. The news of the agreement, which was delivered by Wilder’s team to Top Rank on Friday, was first reported by BT Sport.

Wilder had first told Yahoo Sports on Monday, when he said the weight of his ring walk costume deadened his legs, that he planned to exercise the clause, but his attorney made it official on Friday.

There has been no date set for the bout, though duBoef said it will be held in the summer.

Fury and Wilder first fought on Dec. 1, 2018, in a bout which was scored a split draw. It was a competitive, dramatic fight which Wilder nearly won by knockout in the 12th. He crushed Fury with a right, but Fury managed to get up to continue.

Wilder went off as a -135 favorite in the rematch, but he was never in the fight. Fury knocked him down in the third and again in the fifth and won every round until Wilder trainer Mark Breland threw in the towel in the seventh.

Wilder said he wasn’t sure he’d keep Breland as part of his team because he was upset by the stoppage, but on Friday, he released a statement in which he said he would continue to work with Breland.

The loss was the first of Wilder’s career. He is 42-1-1 with 41 knockouts. Fury is now 30-0-1 with 21 knockouts.
