Flavor Flav, Child Support: Rapper Faces 180 Days in Jail

After failing to appear in court earlier this week and answer to charges he's fallen behind on child support payments, rapper and reality TV star Flavor Flav faces 180 days in jail, TMZ reports.

The Public Enemy legend reportedly owes $111,186 to Albany, N.Y., resident Angie Parker, who gave birth to three of his children. Flav has a total of seven kids, and in 2009, another of his baby mamas, Karen Ross-Fortunate, made similar claims, telling the press that she'd been shortchanged on support payments.

Flav, whose real name is William Jonathan Drayton Jr., is under court orders to pay Parker $837.72 per week. When he didn't show up earlier this week, a judge recommended taking away his driver's license and throwing him in the slammer for 180 days.

"It was declared a willful violation," an official said.

Flav has a long history of legal woes, and if wants to avoid another trip to the clink, he'll need to put together a strong defense by June 19, when he's due back in Albany Family Court.

you are probably white and hate all black people. His color has nothing to do with his behavior. If you think that he is a typical black behavior then we can say that white only kill and destroy other people. slavery, hitler, colonialism. You bring dead everywhere.

If you can't support those you are responsible for then be responsible enough to keep it in your pants. Do what ever it takes to support that child's future. However, I do reserve some issues on the mother of the children. If someone is willing to hook up with Flavor Flav then how reliable are they really when it comes to spending that money on the child? For people like this and the Tennessee man who had over 30 children I believe that mandatory vasectomy's or tubal litigation's should be considered. Yeah some will scream Unconstitutional and Ethically immoral, but how immoral is it to keep on having children that have no support to be raised properly. These people that do this crap are the sole reason why I feel our Society as a whole has diminished within just that last century or so.

I often wonder why women find this man so attractive. He sort of seems like a living cartoon character. However, since he's a celebrity of sorts and probably makes a lot of money, I guess most black women would chase after him. I suppose he's a lot better than the usual ex-prison thugs black women find so attractive to mate with.
