after Public Enemy Radio, an off-shoot of the main band, played without Flavor Flav at a Bernie Sanders presidential campaign rally in the US on Sunday.

The rapper, real name William Drayton Jr, had reportedly sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Sanders campaign, saying he"has not endorsed any political candidate in this election cycle".

In a statement, they said he had been suspended since 2016"when he was MIA" from a benefit gig for Harry Belafonte's human rights charity Sankofa in 2016.
