He even wore a shirt that read “Flavor Flav is here for the Bass Queen” in honor of Blu, who’s best known as a singer/songwriter and bass guitar virtuoso — and made history as the youngest and first woman to have a Fender signature bass guitar.
The crowd went wild the second he hit the stage!Shortly after, Flavor Flav pulled off another unexpected cameo — this time at the Yo Gabba Gabba! set inside the Mojave tent. Yes, that Yo Gabba Gabba — the beloved kids’ show that mixes music, dancing, and learning, hosted by the always-vibrant DJ Lance Rock.The crossover we didn’t know we needed? Absolutely.
