It’s Jordan’s time now.
Flavor Flav gifted US gymnast Jordan Chiles a bedazzled bronze clock necklace after she was stripped of her medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The ’90s rapper took to X (formerly Twitter) on Monday to give fans a look at the one-of-a-kind custom necklace designed by Rock’n Stones, featuring hundreds of bronze rhinestones and bronze-colored clock hands set to 12:00 o’clock.
Flav, who iconically wears different bedazzled clock necklaces at all times, hung the unique gift from a white rope and flaunted it in front of an American flag.

“USA gonna Fight the Powers that be,” he wrote, referencing his 1990 hit with the hip-hop group Public Enemy.
“In the meantime between time,,, (sic) Imma always a man of my word @ChilesJordan.”
The “Can’t Truss It” rapper, 65, quickly had the bronze clock made less than 24 hours after he offered to make the 23-year-old athlete the necklace “that’s something NO ONE else has.”
“Hit me up my girl,,, I gotchu,!!!” he wrote on social media Sunday.
Chiles hasn’t spoken out about the thoughtful gift after she announced on Saturday that she would be “removing [herself] from social media for [her] mental health” as the International Olympic Committee (IOC) revealed the gymnast lost her medal in a score reversal.
The decision came after Romanian gymnast Ana Bărbosu thought she secured the bronze medal after receiving a score of 13.700 at the gymnastics floor exercise final on Aug. 5.
While Chiles’ score originally came in at 13.666, her coaches challenged the judges, who ultimately agreed to bump her score by 0.1 points, moving her to third place behind silver medalist Simone Biles.
The US Olympic and Paralympic Committee announced they planned on filing an appeal, as they released a statement expressing their disappointment.
“We firmly believe that Jordan rightfully earned the bronze medal and there were critical errors in both the initial scoring by the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) and the subsequent CAS appeal process that need to be addressed,” the committee wrote.
Amid the devastating blow, Chiles has received support from her teammates with Suni Lee slamming the decision as “completely unacceptable.”
