Taylor Swift and Flavor Flav attend the 2023 iHeartRadio Music AwardsFans of Swift, 34, are already appreciating the rapper's sentiment, with a few calling his emotional tweet "icon behavior" and thanking him for his "incredibly sweet" take.
Other MCs have also given Swift's new LP their co-sign today, including Rick Ross, who — in the midst of beefing with Drake — saluted Swift for a couple of her latest song titles (specifically, "Fresh Out the Slammer" and "Florida!!!").
"Blasting on the Yacht at Midnight," Ross wrote on X. "Taylor writes like a Boss and her song titles are Gangsta."

Flavor FlavOf course, Flav hasn't been shy about his admiration for the hit-maker for quite some time, telling the Los Angeles Times in a recent interview that Swift was aware of the "King Swiftie" title that some of her fans have bestowed upon him.
“The discussion [at the event] was about me congratulating her on all her success. And me being a big fan of hers, a big supporter of hers," he said of speaking with Swift at the 2024 Grammys in February. “Having her acknowledge that her fan base ‘Swifties’ gave me a name, ‘King Swiftie.' I said, ‘You know they call me King Swiftie?’ She said, ‘I know!'”
“Yo, when I heard her say that, that was huge for me.”
