Public Enemy’s Flavor Flav has denied allegations his previously reported move into fried chicken selling is already experiencing financial difficulties. As previously reported, the hip hopper opened the first branch of Flav’s Fried Chicken in Clinton, Iowa in January. The launch got a lot of press attention, but this week the fast food restaurant was back in the news for the wrong reasons, with a number of employees telling reporters that their pay cheques had bounced.

But Flav says there are no problems and everyone on his staff has now been paid in full. He told Iowa’s WQAD television, “Let me say this – being that this is a new up-and-running business there was a couple glitches, ya know, with the credit card machine, ya know what I’m saying. Right now we’ve got that fixed and there’s nothing else that’s going to bounce ever… I’m not worried about that [the claims] because it’s not true information… Maybe these are people that’s probably just jealous of me being here and probably wanting to see me out… but yes, we do have money in our accounts…”

He added: “This business has been successful and it’s gonna even grow bigger… You’re going to have people bad mouthing you and trying to take you under… but can’t nothing take your boy Flavor Flav down… And employees are paid, in full”.
