Overview
- Flavor Flav posted on X on February 26 asking major auto brands to provide a replacement vehicle for U.S. hockey player Kelly Pannek after her car was totaled.
- He tagged multiple manufacturers, saying many had commented about helping but that few had actually stepped up to provide a car.
- A representative for Pannek told TMZ the accident occurred shortly before she flew to Milan for the Olympics, and TMZ reported she was rear‑ended at a traffic light in St. Paul.
- As of the initial reports, no company had confirmed assistance, though EV outlet eletric-vehicles.com reported that Rivian replied publicly offering to get Pannek into one of its vehicles.
- Pannek, a Minnesota Frost forward in the PWHL and a two-time Olympic gold medalist, recorded two assists during Team USA’s gold-winning run, and Flavor Flav is planning a celebratory Las Vegas event in mid-July.
