Flavor Flav claims he was kicked out of Backstreet Boys' dressing room at the annual Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting.

The hip-hop icon has alleged that NBC had him removed from the boy band's dressing room at the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting in New York City on Wednesday night.

In a now-deleted post on X, Flavor wrote, "I feel weird ... I was invited to the Rockefeller Tree Lighting tonite and I was escorted to see my boys ... THE BACKSTREET BOYS ... and we were backstage in their dressing room ... security came up tp me and says @nbc does not want me in this area and I need to leave (sic)."

"At the same time ... their social media woman came up and asked me to capture social content. What did I ever do to NBC or anyone??" the artist continued. "All I ever do is try to spread joy and love ... and I think I did that for NBC at the Olympics."

Flavor later deleted the tweet, but shared in a new post, "I deleted the tweet ... but my spirit is broken."

The Public Enemy star also returned to the platform to share a clip of him at the tree lighting event, with the caption, "Christmas in the city ... ain't nothing like the Rockefeller tree lighting."

The Backstreet Boys joined host Kelly Clarkson at the tree lighting, performing a rendition of Nat King Cole's classic hit The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You).

Other musical guests included Jennifer Hudson, Raye and Little Big Town.
