In the podcast, he also spoke truthfully about his other practices. He admitted that he sold drugs and at one point he broke the most vital rule of the trade and got high on his own supply.

Despite this, Flav explained that he all the time “behaved very well and hid it.”

Fortunately, the rapper was able to quit smoking in 2020 and start long-term sobriety. Flavor Flav said he can finally open up about his struggles with substance abuse because he is completely clean. Celebrating being free from cocaine and crack for over 15 years and being alcohol-free for 4 years.

He then said, “I suppose God wanted me to live. And he knows that I’m the spokesman for the world. So I feel like God allowed me to experience this in order that I could teach people about the mistakes I made. And hopefully they will not do it later in life.
