Flavor Flav & Alexis Ohanian Donate Thousands Of Dollars To Olympian Who Can’t Pay Her Rent
Leave it to Flavor Flav and Alexis Ohanian to save the day for one Olympian. After discus throw competitor Veronica Fraley revealed on social media that she couldn’t pay her rent, the rapper, 65, and Serena Williams‘ husband, 41, both promised to help her out.
“I compete in the Olympic Games TOMORROW and can’t even pay my rent,” Veronica tweeted on Thursday, August 1.
The athlete added that her 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.”

Flav is one of the most supportive celebrities when it comes to this year’s Olympic Games in Paris. The “Public Enemy No. 1” rapper previously explained the reason why he’s dedicated to helping Team USA, as he is also a sponsor for the American women’s water polo team.
“One thing about me, I know what it feels like to want to see a dream come true,” Flav previously said, per Page Six. “I know what it feels like to want to achieve a goal, and I’m the type of person that, if I see you trying, then I’m going to do whatever I can to help you.”
