00:00TMZ's Tales of Christmastime presents Backstreet's Back in the Back Room.
00:10All right.
00:11But you don't belong there, Flavor Flav, starring Flavor Flav.
00:15Flavor Flav is claiming that NBC kicked him out of the Backstreet Boys' dressing room
00:21at the Rockefeller tree lighting ceremony.
00:23What?
00:24Flav posted, security came up to me and says NBC does not want me in this area and I need
00:29to leave.
00:30At the same time, their social media woman came up and asked to capture social content.
00:34So he was very confused of like, so you guys want me to be here to use me for your social
00:39media, but then you're booting me from the Backstreet Boys' dressing room.
00:43Well, that's unbelievable.
00:44We know.
00:45Later, Flav deleted the tweet and wrote, I deleted the tweet, but my spirit is broken.
00:50Oh my God, I feel terrible for him.
00:53Why didn't like Joey Fatone say, hey, he's with us?
00:55Probably because he wasn't there and from a completely different band, but still no
00:59excuse.
01:00Anyway, sources tell us security had a valid reason to kick Flav out because he wasn't
01:04on the list and security was pretty tight.
01:06They say they'd be happy to have him next year.
01:09Still.
01:10It sounds like someone, one individual who did not recognize Flav.
01:14How do you not recognize Flavor Flav?
01:16Do they know what time it is?
01:21Sorry this happened, Flav, but don't let it get you down.
01:24Merry Christmas.
01:25Yeah, boys!
