Flavor Flav on Having $2500 per Day Crack Habit for 18 years, Being Clean 8 Years (Flashback)

In this VladTV exclusive flashback, Flavor Flav details his past crack cocaine habit which cost him roughly $2500 per day. Flav goes in-depth about that time in his life and how he was able to turn it around by being clean for the past 8 years.

[@toriajenkins3369]

The interviewer didn't like the fact that Flav was clean and he didn't want to give him congrats for it either, but you have to be very strong and talking to God alot to get off drugs and alcohol you have my props I believe it's a great accomplishment Flavor Flav...

[@hyf1212]

Flava Flav is 60 years old. Let that sink in. For the life he’s lived he looks better then these young rappers on lean 🙀🙀🙀

[@markcaruso9040]

Crazy to think about. He probably just has some close to god-like genetics I’m thinking 😂😂

[@_RobBanks]

Ain’t no way he was smoking an ounce of crack a day! Come On Son

[@eternalyfeful]

The nigga also got a baby by some woman and can't pay child support, had money for crack but he had no money for all the kids he has.... he's a walking, talking contradiction to the group he belongs to, Public Enemy.

[@saadlife08]

He damn sure does...

[@valways3735]

Look at flavor flav in the 80’s ..., he 👀 looks the same but with a lil wait on. Clean &sober!!! ? Good for him because that ain’t easy.

[@irunthestreets]

You never even congratulate him for being clean for 8 years smh

[@antoniocotton846]

[@joshkroenke7693]

@The Boosie Clip... So true! In fact, Vlad was probably disappointed when he said that. I guess they don’t call him ‘culture vulture’ for reasons unbeknownst.

[@paidinfull5950]

Yeah all these peasants care about is themselves and that check, the check comes from drama which makes money off of our retarded culture that pays to see negativity in hopes of making themselves feel better for their own failures.

He said do the math, so I did... $2,500 per day is $17,500 per week, and $70,000 per month. His yearly spend would exceed three quarters of a million, ($840,000). Over 6 years his financial outlay on drugs would total over 5 million dollars, ($5,040,000). 💵 You’re welcome!

[@MrJaysoul13]

I’m sure he wasn’t smoking by himself. What he spent a day was for his whole crew. Them boys were partying. The party didn’t stop. The high didn’t go down for 6yrs. I’m sure he smoke a lot of it and probably even sold some to others and bought the dope again the next day

How tf is he not dead?! I think he's exaggerating though, because even if he was buying it in the most expensive way possible - $10 rocks that weigh 0.1 grams - that would be around an ounce smoked every day! Say you get 15 licks off a gram, that's 375 licks in a day.

To get the best safely smuggled to him for that long comes at a premium too. He aint going to the corner himself. A big chunk of that are definitely delivery fees.
