Want the numbers on Flavor Flav’s life as a drug user? He says he was spending $2,400 to $2,600 a day for six years straight at the heaviest part of his cocaine and crack addiction.
“You do the math, and that’s how much I spent on drugs,” the rapper and hype man said recently on the “Off the Record With DJ Akademiks” podcast. (We did the math, by the way, and it ballparks between $5.3 million and $5.7 million bucks.)
Flav — real name William Jonathan Drayton Jr. — is now 15 years clean from coke and crack and two-and-a-half years off alcohol and cigarettes. He thinks God had a reason for keeping him alive through 18 years of heavy drug use and drug dealing.
