During a recent podcast interview, Flavor Flav shared a humorous anecdote about mistaking Miley Cyrus for Gwen Stefani in the past. The mix-up occurred due to both musicians having similar hairstyles at the time, with Cyrus sporting a short, blonde 'do reminiscent of Stefani's signature look.
Flav recounted the incident where he initially confused Cyrus for Stefani and only realized his mistake later when a friend pointed it out to him. Feeling embarrassed, he quickly apologized to Cyrus, acknowledging her true identity as the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus.
Despite the initial confusion, Cyrus took the mix-up in stride and even playfully slapped Flav in the face in response. The two laughed off the incident, with Flav promising not to make the same mistake again.
Fast forward to the 2024 Grammy Awards, where Cyrus jokingly reminded Flav of their past encounter backstage. In a video shared on social media, Cyrus teased Flav about no longer mistaking her for Gwen Stefani, highlighting their lighthearted rapport.
Following Cyrus's performance at the Grammys, she and Flav shared a warm embrace, with Cyrus expressing her appreciation for the rapper's support. The playful banter continued as Cyrus referenced Flav's iconic clock necklace, adding a touch of humor to their interaction.
Flav later took to social media to poke fun at the situation, jokingly referring to Cyrus as Gwen Stefani in a light-hearted manner. The rapper also mentioned Cyrus's positive reaction during their Grammy meeting, noting her enthusiasm and affectionate demeanor.
Before their recent encounter at the Grammys, Cyrus and Flav had crossed paths at previous events, including the 2012 iHeartRadio Music Festival and VH1's Big in '06 broadcast, showcasing their longstanding acquaintance.
