To help others struggling with mental health, Flav noted that he reached out to AI therapy app, Sonia, “to cover the subscriptions for anyone who signs up today.” The app describes itself as “your personal AI-powered therapist. We can talk via voice or text about anything on your mind”
Flav concluded his message by telling his fans, “Help me help you.”
Flav has a long history of good deeds, and spreading his positivity to others. During the Paris Olympics over the summer, he was dedicated to the U.S. squad, pledging $1,000 and a cruise for all the members of the U.S. Women’s Water Polo team and helping to cover rent costs for 24-year-old discus thrower Veronica Fraley. He also boosted a GoFundMe page for Paralympic sprinter Nick Mayhugh to help pay for his parents to fly to Paris to see him compete.
Most recently, the Flavor of Love star attended the Black Music Action Coalition Gala in Beverly Hills, Calif., this week, where he auctioned off a blinged-out clock straight off his neck for $15,000, and the donation will go toward initiatives to help address “systemic racism within the music industry” while also preparing the “next generation of industry leaders.”
