Team USA women’s water polo team members talk about their unlikely partnership with rapper and “girl dad” Flavor Flav, and their quest for a fourth consecutive gold at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Flavor Flav has been seen in the stands at the Paris Olympics supporting U.S. women's water polo, but he took his support of Team USA to another level on Thursday offering to help pay an Olympian's rent.
On Thursday, track and field athlete Veronica Fraley posted on X, "I compete in the Olympic Games TOMORROW and can't even pay my rent," mentioning her school only sent her about 75% of her rent.
Flavor Flav responded, "I gotchu,,, DM me and I'll send payment TODAY so you don't have to worry bout it TOMORROW,,, and imma be rooting for ya tomorrow LETZ GO,!!!"
