Flavor Flav Facing Prison for Not Paying Child Support

List of things Flavor Flav apparently thinks are a joke -- 911 and child support.

The legendary Public Enemy rapper is behind on his child support payments to his baby mama in Albany, NY to the tune of $111,186 ... which has him now facing a prison sentence of 180 days.

Under a support agreement, Flav is required to pay $837.72 a week to Angie Parker to support the couple’s three children.

Flav failed to show up for a court hearing this week, says the NY Daily News, so an Albany County magistrate recommended the jail sentence -- and revoking his driver’s license and passport.

He must appear in Albany Family Court on June 19.

Sad that Public Enemy is probably going to be most remembered by the actions of this POS.

I never understood why people have to pay so much for child support. Like certain celebrities getting tens of thousand of dollars monthly. Or is that only if they have a prenup? Ah well, 800 something dollars a week, why? Are the kids wearing gold and diamond shoes?

It's supposed to help pay for a roof over their head.

**NVash** · May 26th, 2012, 03:03 PM

^ Because the women clean them out and dont spend anywhere near that amount of money on the kids?

$840 per week divided by 7 days in a week divided among 3 kids is $40/day per kid. Not exactly lotto winnings.

Yeah, more money than most people I know can put on their kids in a week. Not lotto winnings but they arent doing that bad either.

I remember years ago on the third and final season of Flavor Of Love, a woman named what was it, Hot Wingz or something? She seemed to honestly love Flav for who he was. One day all the women were together and she told them he was broke, look at him, all the kids he has, so on. To me she was telling the gold diggers theres no cash to be found there. Flav comes out saying he isnt broke and starts counting $100 bills as hes talking. The damage was already done IMO. The man was and is broke, this might just be proof.

If the parent paying the support is earning a lot of money, then their children should benefit from that. They didn't ask to be born, or choose their parents. If the parent is wearing gold and diamond shoes, then so should the kids (metaphorically speaking). Is it OK for celebrities to live like kings (or queens) while their kids have a much lower standard of living? Especially if it's a guy with a new wife and more children who are enjoying the good life of being the "current" family while the previous family get shafted. If you wanna make babies, you've got to learn there's a price.

child support is based on a parent's income. now you understand. that was easy.

^Now why didn't I just say that?

I need to hire a piano player to follow me around playing dramatic music on cue whenever my name is mentioned. It would have to be a small piano though.

That makes me think of the women on Maury. They wave the paper that says "You are the father" in the fathers face yelling "Child support baby!!!". They act like they just won the lottery.
