Flavor Flav And Alexis Ohanian Pay Olympian's Rent

Veronica Fraley, an Olympic discus thrower, recently shared on Twitter that she couldn't pay her rent. "I compete in the Olympic Games TOMORROW and can't even pay my rent," she continued, "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 later clarified she wasn't irritated with the school, but annoyed that rules bar her from making the amount she’s worth as a college athlete.

Don’t sweat, 'cause Flavor Flav and Alexis Ohanian stepped in to help her out! Ohanian tweeted, "C'mon now! I'll split it with @flavorflav." Flav responded, "I gotchu... DM me and I'll send payment TODAY." Both men sent her the money and shared screenshots to confirm it. Fraley replied, "THANK YOU & @FlavorFlav SO MUCH. This makes every difference in the WORLD."

Flav was moved by it all and later wrote about the power of community and how her tweet went from 7,000 to 10 million views, with her rent paid for the year. This is her first time competing in the Olympic games.
