Following four-plus years of sobriety, Flavor Flav confirmed a recently relapse .
Committing to getting back on track, the now 66-year old Public Enemy rapper took to social media to share his story, writing:
“I remain authentic to who I am and a large part of the past 4.5 years for me has been my sobriety journey.” “I think I’ve been an inspiration to many that if I could get sober, anyone can do it.” “But just when you think it’s easy, it ain’t. I briefly relapsed. I say this to admit my mistake and publicly hold myself accountable.”
Transparent about his journey of sobriety throughout these past few years and celebrating his four-year mark on World Mental Health Day in October of 2024, during a 2023 interview, the Grammy award winner (born William Jonathan Drayton Jr) admitted he was spending up to $2600.00 a day on drugs, but would hide it from the public, adding:
“I am a human being who makes mistakes and it doesn’t make me a bad person. I hope those who are around me support my choice to be sober.” “I went back to Day 1, again. Time didn’t stop, my journey continues.”
