Olivia Rodrigo has a new old school fan.
The singer, 20 — who created some sweet harmony’s at Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe with Sheryl Crow — met up with Flavor Flav backstage Friday at iHeartRadio 102.7 KIIS FM’s annual Jingle Ball in Los Angeles.
The Vampire artist and the 62-year-old rapper seemed to hit it off right away.
They posed for a photo together which The Surreal Life alum shared on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Olivia was wearing a black and silver metallic toned mini dress with a halter top.
‘Some FLAVOR that is so sweet and SOUR’ the Bring the Noise artist wrote about his encounter with the star whose first album, Sour, won three Grammy awards, adding the hashtag #iHeartJingleBall

He shared a short video on social media that began with a compliment on the red carpet.
‘I like your outfit,’ Olivia said while hugging the Come On Down artist, who was dressed in a gold jacket and pants.
‘Let me tell you something’ the Burnin’ artist told her. ‘I’ve seen your show, man. You are dope.’
‘Aw, thanks!’ the Driver’s License singe answered, sharing a high five with the Fight the Power rapper, and then posing for a photo with him.
The singer — who released her second album, Guts, in September — has admitted that her mother, Jennifer, has a huge influence on which songs she chooses.
In an interview with The Face, Olivia explained her school teacher mom has great input.
‘I played all the songs for my mom. She’s very important and I have to get her approval on everything,’ she told the outlet.
That input led to The Grudge being included on the album.

‘When we made it I was like, whatever – I thought it could be a bonus track,’ the former High School Musical star said.
‘Then when my mom heard it, she was so moved that she bawled her eyes out, and she doesn’t get that way with everything,’ the artist told the outlet.
‘She definitely has her criticisms, but watching her reaction to it made me see the song in a new way. She’s the reason it’s on the album.’
