While hip hop group Public Enemy officially announced that Flavor Flav had been fired, it appears the outspoken former member won't be going quietly.The initial dispute, which resulted in Flavor Flav's firing, started after a recent rally for Democratic Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders that featured a performance by Public Enemy's Chuck D. Promotional materials for the rally featuring the group's name as well as the name of their song, "Fight the Power," prompted Flavor Flav to send a cease-and-desist letter to the campaign.RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Talk Bernie to Me Preview Shows Senator Sanders in Action"Chuck D are you kidding me right now???...over Bernie Sanders???" Flavor Flav wrote to Chuck D on Twitter. "You wanna destroy something we've built over 35 years OVER POLITICS???...all because I don't wanna endorse a candidate...I'm very disappointed in you and your decisions right now Chuck..."

Soon after the cease-and-desist letter was sent, Chuck D began blasting Flavor Flav on Twitter, even mentioning that Flavor Flav had previously tried to sue him. Flavor Flav responded to this accusation on Twitter, saying, "And Chuck D...i didn't sue you on Friday...i asked the Bernie Sanders campaign to correct misleading marketing...that's all it was...I'm not your employee...i'm your partner...you can't fire me...there is no Public Enemy without Flavor Flav...so let's get it right Chuck..."

Chuck D and Flavor Flav were both founding members of Public Enemy, which formed in 1985.
