Flavor Flav and Chuck D of Public Enemy Meet with Families Displaced by L.A. Fires: 'My Heart Goes Out to Everybody'

Flavor Flav and Chuck D are bringing some positivity to Los Angeles.

In the wake of the fires that've devastated the city since Jan. 7, the Public Enemy rappers teamed up with the Black Music Action Coalition to visit families this week before performing at the organization's philanthropic event on Jan. 29.

BMAC founder Willie "Prophet" Stiggers took to Instagram and shared footage of Flav, 65, and Chuck, 64, meeting with families as they walked through Los Angeles' Altadena neighborhood and observed wreckage from the fires.

"Yesterday was very powerful, heartbreaking but inspiring. To witness the devastation of the fires first hand was as unbelievable as I imagined," wrote Prophet. "But the spirit of resilience from people directly affected was truly remarkable. Altadena Strong!"

In an Instagram video, Flav spoke about how the visit impacted him: "This was definitely needed. You know what I'm saying?"

"My heart goes out to everybody that lost homes, pets, all of that stuff — businesses and everything," said the emcee. "A lot of this stuff can't be recovered, but you will be able to recover. God is good."

Flav and Chuck then attended BMAC's fundraising event, delivered a performance of Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" and reportedly donated $5,000 to an affected family, per Variety.

Earlier this month, the Flavor of Love alum announced a partnership with GoFundMe and BMAC to "immediately help" Black families displaced in the Altadena and Pasadena neighborhoods of L.A.

"So many of y’all have helped in the aftermath of the L.A. fires...so many of y’all have received help. But there’s SO MANY more that REALLY need your help," he captioned an Instagram video. "It’s been inspiring to see so many people come together as one to lift each other up, and I just want to highlight one aspect of the larger LA community in dire need."

More than $122,000 has been raised as a result of his efforts, and the fundraiser is sourcing recipients from a consolidated list entitled Displaced Black Families GoFundMe Directory organized by Community Aid Dena, AFROPUNK and WalkGood LA.
