Flavor Flav Assists Olympian Who Didn’t Have Rent Money
August 2, 2024
Serena William’s husband, Alexis Ohanian also sent Veronica Fraley money to cover her cost
Flavor Flav came to the rescue of an Olympic athlete when he found out that she didn’t have funds to pay her rent, so he and Serena William’s husband, Alexis Ohanian, gave the Olympian money to alleviate that hardship.
According to Page Six, Veronica Fraley, currently in Paris and will compete in the women’s discus throw competition on August 2, took a message to her X account. It simply stated that her school has only sent her 75% of what she owes in rent, yet football players are paid enough to afford to purchase new cars and houses.
I compete in the Olympic Games TOMORROW and can’t even pay my rent 😒 my school only sent about 75% of my rent while they pay football players (who haven’t won anything 😂) enough to buy new cars and houses 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

The “911 is a Joke” frontman, who is actually in Paris for the Olympics, responded with a screenshot of proof of payment (Without revealing her personal info or the amount sent) and even assured her he would go see her compete in person.

The good fortune espoused upon her didn’t stop at Flavor Flav. Ohanian also responded on X and offered to contribute in addition to Flav’s donation.
“C’mon now! I’ll split it with @flavorfav.”
He publicly displayed the amount he sent to Fraley, which was $7,760.

Flav lent his support to the USA Water Polo team after the team captain, Maggie Steffens, asked for support on social media. The Associated Press reported that Flav worked out a deal to name him a sponsor for the USA Water Polo team. The Public Enemy hypeman promised the team he’d be there for the support the team needs.
“As a girl dad and supporter of all women’s sports – imma personally sponsor you, my girl, whatever you need. And imma sponsor the whole team. That’s a FLAVOR FLAV promise.”
