American rapper and television personality Flavor Flav extended an offer to the U.S. women’s hockey team to celebrate its gold medal win in Milan Cortina.

In a statement posted on social media Monday, Flav, real name William Jonathan Drayton Jr., invited the team to a “real celebration in Las Vegas.”

“We saw the story about the men’s invite to the White House, and the not quite invite for the women’s team,” part of the statement read. “…[Flav] always stands behind everything he says and does. If there is an interest for the team to come to Las Vegas and celebrate with Flav – we will figure it out on our end and make it a lovely experience.”

Flav’s offer came after the hockey team declined President Trump’s invitation to celebrate at the White House after beating Canada for gold, just like the men’s team.

“We are sincerely grateful for the invitation extended to our gold medal–winning U.S. Women’s Hockey Team and deeply appreciate the recognition of their extraordinary achievement,” a USA Hockey spokesperson said via NBC News. “Due to the timing and previously scheduled academic and professional commitments following the Games, the athletes are unable to participate.”

Trump invited the men’s team to the State of the Union set for Tuesday in a call posted on social media Sunday night, where he jokingly said he’d be impeached if he didn’t extend the invite to the women’s team.

It’s not yet clear if the women’s team will accept Flav’s offer, though he said he is flexible for most dates except for March 14-16, which falls on the weekend of his 67th birthday.

Flav was also an official sponsor and hype man for the U.S. bobsled and skeleton teams in Italy following a run with the water polo teams in Paris.

“I think a lot of other celebrities like myself need to step up to the plate and sponsor some of these Olympic teams, because these Olympians are out there busting their butts to make us look good,” Flav said on his decision to fund more Olympic sports. “After the sport has been played, people have a tendency to forget about the sport until it’s played again. I want this sport to stick in your mind after the season is over.”
