In a surprising move, it was also revealed that legendary rapper Flavor Flav has been named the official hype man for the USA bobsled and skeleton teams at the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics. Flav, known for his energetic stage presence and iconic clock necklace, is expected to bring his signature flair to the winter sports competition.
Adding to the band's recent success, Bad Omens' single "Specter" has achieved the fastest rise to No. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, topping the tally in just its eighth week. This marks the group's second No. 1 hit, following the 27-week climb of their previous chart-topper, "Just Pretend," earlier this year.
