A Taste of Flav’s Past

It’s been a long road to sobriety for the rapper. In 1991, Flavor Flav pleaded guilty to assaulting his then-girlfriend Karen Ross and served 30 days in jail, as well as losing custody of their three children, which led to his addiction.
Two years later, he was later charged with attempted murder and jailed for 90 days for shooting his neighbor. And just months after that, he was hit with domestic violence, cocaine and marijuana charges.
13 years ago, Flavor Flav realized he had a problem and stopped using hard drugs. He has also given up alcohol, having just celebrated two years of sobriety.

The American rapper visited the Most Magical Place on Earth earlier this month to see and do everything the theme park has to offer. On October 11, Flavor Flav was spotted at the Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida, hanging out with some Disney characters.
“Feel Flav here in the house, with Mickey and Minnie, the famous mice,” he said in a video posted to social media. “Now this TikTok is used for every boy and girl. It’s Flavor Flav at Disney World!”
Of course, he had to end it with his iconic line — “Yes, boyeeeeee!” — followed by, “with Mickey and Minnie!” She then stopped to pose with Mickey and Minnie, showing off her bling.
