Reddit editor, Flavor Flav sponsor US Paris Olympic athlete unable to afford rent

Rapper Flavor Flav and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian teamed up to sponsor NCAA discus champion Veronica Fraley, who has struggled to pay rent despite qualifying for the Paris Olympics.

A day before discus officially commences, Fraley took to X to voice a more dire concern than that of her Games debut.

“I compete in the Olympic Games TOMORROW and can’t even pay my rent my school only sent about 75% of my rent while they pay football players (who haven’t won anything ) enough to buy new cars and houses,” she wrote.

The post was viewed over 16 million times and the like count shot to beyond 200,000.

It caught the intention of some important people such as the Reddit co-founder.

“C’mon now! I’ll split it with @flavorflav,” Ohanian wrote on X.
