Rapper Flavor Flav drew mixed reactions from NBA fans after he sang the national anthem ahead of Sunday night's game between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Atlanta Hawks.

The six-time Grammy award-nominated artist sported a green Bucks jersey over a white sweatshirt and a matching white hat with sunglasses as he performed at Fiserv Forum.

The crowd supported Flav, often cheering and clapping as he attempted to hit the most challenging tone shifts and higher octave moments.

On social media, the viral video of his performance led to both praise and mockery.

"He killed that," the user added.

"At least he knew the words," Hiit Fitness chimed in.
