Flavor Flav isn’t giving up his King Swiftie title anytime soon!
The longtime Taylor Swift fan and Public Enemy rapper, 65, has been to many concerts on the Eras Tour — even getting a shout-out from Swift herself during her show at Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, Germany on July 23 — earning himself the “King Swiftie” moniker from her fans.
But, he tells PEOPLE at the iHeart Radio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Saturday, Sept. 21, he’s not done attending the pop superstar’s current tour just yet, saying he plans to go to “as many as I can make” of her upcoming shows.
Swift is scheduled to resume her record-breaking tour next month with three shows in Miami kicking off on Oct. 18, before shows in New Orleans the same month, followed by a series of concerts in Indianapolis in early November. The Eras Tour then moves to Canada with several shows in Toronto that month, before Swift wraps up with three shows in Vancouver in December.
“I know I’m going to one of them in Florida,” Flavor Flav told PEOPLE.
“After that, I don’t know, as many as I could go to. As many as I can, as many as my schedule will permit me to go to, at least.”

The rapper has previously attended the singer’s Detroit Eras Tour stop at Ford Field on June 9, 2023, and her Los Angeles Eras Tour show at SoFi Stadium in August 2023, as well as attending the Oct. 11, 2023 premiere of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.
The pair also chatted at the 2024 Grammys in February, with Flav later telling the Los Angeles Timesthat he finally “got to get some Taylor time” at the awards show, following his attendance at her shows the previous year.
“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 told the outlet, adding that Swift told him that she knew about his “King Swiftie” title.
The “King Swiftie” also showed his support for another star recently, gifting U.S. gymnast Jordan Chiles with a bronze clock necklace at the MTV VMAs 2024 on Sept. 11. Flav created the custom clock for Chiles after she was stripped of her bronze medal following the gymnastics floor exercise final at the Paris Olympics in August.
And while he’s given them to many people over the years, he’s keeping his next clock recipient secret.
“I can’t say yet,” he told PEOPLE when asked who’s next to get a timepiece.
“I don’t just give them away to nobody, you know what I’m saying? You got to be real special in order to get this.”
He added, “I like to keep my clocks exclusive.”
