Flavor Flav and Alexis Ohanian saved the day for an Olympic athlete. After discus thrower Veronica Fraley announced on social media that she couldn’t afford rent, the 65-year-old rapper and husband of Serena Williams, 41, both promised to help her.

«I'm competing in the Olympics TOMORROW and can’t even afford rent», - Veronica wrote in a tweet on Thursday, August 1.

The athlete added that her university «only sent about 75% of my rent, while they pay football players (who haven’t won anything) enough to buy new cars and houses».

In response, Flavor Flav tweeted: «I got you, DM me and I’ll send payment TODAY so you don’t have to worry about it TOMORROW, and I’ll be rooting for you tomorrow, LET’S GO!»

Alexis then added in the comments: «Let's do this, I’ll split it with @flavorfav».

Later, Flavor Flav confirmed that he had sent payment to Veronica. Along with a screenshot of his private message to the athlete, he wrote: «A man of my word, and I’ll try to come and support you in person tomorrow, let me know what time».

Alexis also updated his followers on social media, sharing a screenshot of his payment to Veronica, which amounted to $ 7760. «Update! Done», - he wrote. Along with the transaction to Veronica, Alexis wrote: «MERICA» with emojis of a gold medal and the American flag.

Flavor Flav is one of the most supportive celebrities at this year’s Olympic Games in Paris. The «Public Enemy No. 1» rapper previously explained his reason for helping the US team, as he is also a sponsor of the American women’s water polo team.

«One of my qualities is that I know what it’s like when you want your dream to come true», - Flavor Flav said, according to Page Six. «I know what it’s like when you want to achieve a goal, and I’m the kind of person who, if I see that you’re trying, I’ll do everything I can to help you»
