Flavor Flav hasn't been shy about his support of the writers' strike over the past week, and on Thursday (May 18), he walked the walk by showing up to Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, CA, with pizza and a megaphone in hand. 

The rapper and reality TV star had a busy day on the picket lines between handing out slices, meeting the writers from Ted Lasso and Abbot Elementary and leading the protestors in a series of chants (including his own name) before launching into a performance of his group Public Enemy's "Fight the Power."

Last week, he previewed his appearance at the strike by sharing a video on Twitter throwing his weight behind the protests as only he could. 
 

Flavor Flav is the latest musician to appear at the strike, joining Weezer, who performed a three-song concert for strikers outside Paramount Studios on Wednesday (May 17), and Imagine Dragons, who showed up to the picket lines at Netflix headquarters last week.
