The Public Enemy icon declared himself “King Swiftie” and opened up about his love for the pop superstar in an interview on HOT 97’s ‘Ebro In The Morning.

Flavor Flav is such a big Taylor Swift fan that he’s declared himself “King Swiftie!”

The Public Enemy member, 64, opened up about his love for the pop superstar, 34, in a new interview with HOT 97’s Ebro In The Morning. On the radio show, the rap legend not only shared his favorite song by Swift but explained why his appreciation for her songwriting runs deep.

The Flavor of Love star first mentioned Swift in the interview when talking about attending Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards, where the pop star’s concert film was nominated for the cinematic and box office achievement award. “Yes, I am a Swiftie,” Flavor Flav said. “Not only that, but I got a new name now: King Swiftie.”

As for the track from the “Karma” singer’s discography that King Swiftie can’t get enough of? “My favorite record that she wrote is ‘Bad Blood’,” Flav revealed.

Flav shared that he was particularly struck by how much her songwriting reminded him of fellow musician Mary J. Blige. “She’s writing a lot about her, you know, experiences that she goes through in life. Just like Mary J. Blige — you know what I’m saying?,” he said. “Mary writes about her experiences that she goes through in life, then when she gets up there on that stage, and she sings those songs, mostly every single woman in that audience relates to Mary.”
