During a moment on stage alongside host Megan Thee Stallion, Flav gifted the 23-year-old with a large bronze clock chain.

Flavor Flav and Chiles first linked on the VMA black carpet at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. Jordan wore a silver Off-White mini dress with black, red, and white striped trimmings on the high neck and around her thighs. She paired the look with matching elbow-length gloves, knee-high tights, and a slicked hair bun. Meanwhile, Flavor Flav wore a pink jacket and pants set with a black tee. He wore a giant pink pendant, a square diamond necklace around his neck, and a black and pink baseball cap.
Megan Thee Stallion opened the show after 8 p.m. ET wearing a Team-USA-inspired leotard. She gave a shout-out to her hotties and “haties” before passing the mic to her stage guests, Jordan Chiles and Flavor Flav.

Flav took a moment to follow through on the promise he made nearly a month ago to gift Jordan a bronze clock necklace. “Something NO ONE else has,” Flav wrote in his X (formerly Twitter) message, encouraging the competitive athlete to “hit” him up! While on stage, he repeated that message.
