The legendary rapper also said he hopes that Flav "will be woke in rehearsal studio and paying attention to the work we and all the members do worldwide."

On Thursday evening Chuck also took the time to address the suit on his Twitter account:

The "50 songs" Chuck is referring to is the claim that Flav made in the lawsuit that he co-wrote over 50 Public Enemy songs.

On Flav's Instagram, the legendarysidekick put up a post trying to defuse the situation:
