Flavor Flav gave Jordan Chiles  a dazzling surprise at the MTV Video Music Awards  on Wednesday, after the gymnasts Olympic bronze medal was stripped from her this summer.

The Public Enemy rapper  who became a beloved hype man for Team USA at the Paris games this summer previously vowed to come through with a gift NO ONE else has in the form of a sparkling bronze-colored clock, a piece that takes inspiration from Flavs iconic accessory.

The moment came roughly a month after an arbitration panel said it wouldnt reconsider its decision on Chiles medal. USA Gymnastics pledged to continue to pursue every possible avenue and appeal process, including a potential court case.

Flav, who took the stage with Chiles to present the Best Collaboration category, turned the VMAs appearance into a little Olympic moment.

I know they tried to take your medal away from you, but you know what? I got you something that they cant take away from you, said Flav, before showing the gift to Chiles.

The gymnast glowed with a smile as Flav tied a string necklace with the clock on it around her neck. Then, as Chiles looked on, stunned, Flav donned a Team USA water polo hat.

Wow, what? I dont even know what to say here, Chiles said.

You can catch the sweet moment below.
