Flavor Flav Spent Up to $2,600 a Day Before Getting Sober

PUBLIC FRIEND –

Jan. 30, 2023 – Flavor Flav is opening up about how his drug addiction controlled his life.

After celebrating two years of sobriety in October, the Public Enemyfounding member, 63, said he “never really let people know exactly” what was going on with him at the height of his addiction as he appeared last week on the Off the Record with DJ Akademiks podcast.

“There was a time that I was spending $2,400 to $2,600 a day… for six years straight, you do the math,” he said. “That’s how much I spent on drugs.”

During the worst periods of his addiction, he was spending almost $1 million on drugs a year.

He was also dealing and dipping into his own supply.

“I ain’t gonna lie, I sold a lot. But I was my best customer … I had a lot of money at the time too, I was just doing the wrong things with my money,” Flav recalled.
