After two-time Olympian Jordan Chiles earned her first individual medal in the floor final, the International Olympic Committee demanded she return her bronze medal so it could be reallocated to Romania’s Ana Barbosu.
Public Enemy founding member Flavor Flav, who floated all around the Paris Olympics — most notably to support the USA women’s water polo team — and is known for donning supersized clock necklaces, wanted to show his support for the American gymnast by rewarding her with a piece of hardware exclusive to her.

On Monday, the rapper revealed the bronze clock for Chiles, saying “USA gonna Fight the Powers that be,” in reference to Public Enemy’s hit song “Fight the Power.”

Thank you. Means the world. She’s not on…
