Vanderbilt’s discus thrower and Olympian Veronica Fraley lamented on social media that she needed help paying the rent.
Hip-hop artist Flavor Flav and entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian decided to help.
Soon after Fraley posted on the social media platform, X, that she was in need of financial assistance, Flav, founding member of the hip-hop group Public Enemy and a big fan of USA Water Polo, responded: “I gotchu.”
Right on top that, Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit and husband of tennis star Serena Williams, wrote: “Got you!” He followed through, too, by posting a picture of paying $7,760.00 and writing, "’Murica.”
Totally. On the flip side, it blows my mind that more rich people don’t do this kind of stuff more often. If only for the ego boost / moment in the spotlight they’d get out of it. Instead, they’ll just horde the money.
