UPDATE: So we stand corrected…the producers and director of the Flavor Flav Doritos commercial just reached out to us and confirmed that Flavor Flav DID NOT enter the contest. Rather, he helped out two guys with their video submission. So the rumors out there are not true…Flavor Flav did not enter the contest himself and had nothing to do with the producing or directing of it. Check the video here.
Flavor Flav x Doritos. No…Flavor Flav is not getting paid endorsement money by Doritos to hype their annual “Crash The Super Bowl” video contest where the winning video gets $1 million. Flavor Flav actually has ENTERED the contest and has submitted his own video in hopes of winning some of that prize money.
I guess that $183K he owes in back taxes is getting hard to find. “He did this totally randomly and unprovoked,” says a source at the company. “And it’s actually pretty damn good.” Good enough to win $1 million? Next we going to have rappers trying to win McDonald’s Monopoly. Via: NY Post
Flav didn’t enter this contest, he was working with some friends who are film students who are hoping to make it big with this commercial.
Do some research before just reposting shit that Perez has already mis-quoted.
Turds.
What’s your source Justin? If you give me a legit source then I will update. Until then you mean nothing.
Yeti,
Please email me and I will clarify everything. This commercial was written by myself and my associate. I approached Flav’s commercial agent to see if Flav would appear in the commercial and they obliged. if you email me i can provide you with proof.

Hi Yeti
My name is Marthinus Lamprecht, I directed the spot, & created it with my producing partner Matt Ayriss, we approached Flav & his agent and manager with several concepts/treatments for ideas for the spot. And they agreed to come onboard for the project. They were great.
If you want proof go to our Facebook Page, full info on crew and the shoot with pics etc.

Then Check out the Commercial @ http://www.crashthesuperbowl.com/#/video/4386
There has been allot of confusion, spread over the internet, its fair for people to get the correct info, for obvious reasons. Especially putting Flav in a bad light, untruthfully.
Please visit these pages and clear things up.
Would appreciate that.
Cheers
Marthinus & Matt – thanks guys for responding back and with the info. I’ll be reaching out to you guys shortly. Want to run a story on you guys…
