NEED TO KNOW
Expect to see Flavor Flav back on your screens soon!
The rapper, 66, caught up with PEOPLE at Steven Tyler’s 7th Annual Jam for Janie Grammy Awards Viewing Party on Sunday, Feb. 1, where he teased what he has coming up. Two decades after his hit dating series Flavor of Love first aired, Flav says he has decided to return to reality TV.
“I am getting ready to do another reality TV show, but it’s going to be bigger than Flavor of Love,” he shares. “It’s not going to be a dating concept. The reason why is because I have already been there. I’ve done that. I set the tone for all other reality dating shows.”
“I want to come back with something bigger and better and something that’s going to have me lasting on TV longer. I got something in the works,” he continues. “I got something for you guys, and this is a show that I’ll be able to do until my death.”
The secret project might not be the only show Flav will be appearing on in the near future. After recently guest judging Dancing with the Stars for season 34’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night, he reveals he has been approached to join the show again — this time as a contestant.
“They want me to,” he shares. “They want me to come back and dance. I don’t know. I might do it if I think I could do it.”
When asked if he thinks he could, he quips, “No, no, I don’t.”

Still, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee isn’t dismissing the possibility entirely. He even admits that he “had fun” joining as a guest judge — “even though I made a mistake,” he jokes, of giving Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy a nine by accident, which messed up their chance for a perfect score.
“I was trying to change it back to a 10, and they were like, ‘No, Flavor,’ ” he recalls. “Everybody was like, ‘How could you do that?’ ”
The “Fight the Power” rapper also spills on his memorable interaction with Robert Irwin, who ultimately won the season.
“That boy told me, ‘Yo Flav, I got a crocodile and his name is Flavor Flav, and he’s the fiercest one,’ ” Flav reveals. “I’m like, ‘Wow!’”

At the taping in November, Flav told PEOPLE how he decided to score the couples as a non-dancer, explaining that it mostly came down to “precision.”
