PARIS, France — After being hailed as the official hypeman of Team USA water polo, rapper Flavor Flav continues to support American athletes competing in the Games. This time, the Public Enemy co-founder has offered to pay rent for Team USA discus thrower Veronica Fraley.
Fraley frantically posted on X Thursday morning, expressing her frustration about being short on rent despite being an Olympic athlete.
"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 Vanderbilt track and field sportswoman posted.
Hours later, Flav got wind of Fraley's post and quickly answered the call to cover the cost and to do what he does best -- provide the hype.
His philanthropic gesture even prompted billionaire Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian to step up to the plate and offer to split the cost with Flav.
The wholesome interaction garnered thousands of reposts and likes across the internet.
Flavor Flav provided an update a few hours later, confirming that he and Ohanian had teamed up to pay Fraley's rent for the rest of the year!
Fraley will represent the United States in the Women's Discus throw in Paris tomorrow.
