The meeting went down the same day as the U.S. women's water polo team's winning preliminary match against Greece, which Flav attended. He was also present — alongside Spike Lee — as the women lost a July 29 preliminary match against Spain and got on his feet to rally the crowd at one point after the U.S. team scored a late-in-the-match goal.

The Grammy-winning rap icon previously spoke to PEOPLE about his decision to sponsor the U.S. women's water polo team, which was inspired by learning from captain Maggie Steffens that many of her teammates work multiple jobs in order to get to the Olympics.

"There's a lot of women, I'm saying that all they want is just a chance," said the father of four daughters. "And all they want to do is feel like they got a chance. So I just wanted to help out, and help give women that chance that they are looking for."
