As a fervent admirer of the intersection between music and sports, I find myself deeply moved by the acts of kindness demonstrated by Flavor Flav and Alexis Ohanian towards Olympic athlete Veronica Fraley. Having followed Flavor Flav’s career from his days with Public Enemy to his reality TV stints, it’s heartening to see him using his platform to help those in need.
Flavor Flav, renowned rapper known for hits like “Fight the Power,” continues his support by not holding back from cheering on American Olympians competing at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Recently, he has also stepped up to assist Veronica Fraley with her monthly rent expenses.
Fraley is an Olympian representing the USA at this year’s games as a discus thrower.
According to Entertainment Weekly’s latest report, Flavor Flav’s representative has revealed that the artist covered this month’s rent for Fraley. This announcement follows Fraley’s public expression of stress about her school expenses and housing costs on social media.
As an Olympic competitor about to take the field tomorrow, I’m still struggling to make ends meet by covering my rent. In a post shared on Thursday, I expressed this issue from Vanderbilt University, where they only covered 75% of my rental costs. On the other hand, they seem to have no problem providing enough funds for their football players to buy new cars and homes. As an Olympian, it’s important that institutions like mine recognize and support athletes beyond just the playing field. #OlympicStruggles #FairnessForAthletes
Shortly after Flavor Flav saw her post, he intervened and said, “I’ve got your back, just direct message me and I’ll arrange payment for you today, so you won’t need to concern yourself about it tomorrow.”
In this case, the rapper wasn’t by himself; his business partner, Alexis Ohanian (co-founder of Reddit), announced their intention to share the costs with the rapper.
As per EW, the co-founder has covered Fraley’s rent for the whole year.
According to X, the artist from He Got Game swiftly shared a snapshot suggesting a payment made to Fraley. Alongside him, Ohanian posted evidence of a $7,760 transaction taking place.
As a former competitive swimmer myself, I was thrilled to learn about Flavor Flav’s recent support for the USA Water Polo team. Having spent countless hours in the pool as a young athlete, I can appreciate the dedication and passion required to excel at water polo.
The press release also suggests that Flavor Flav had even contributed financially to the 2024 USA Women’s Water Polo Olympic Team.
