Entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian and musician William Jonathan Drayton Jr. (Flavor Flav) helped American athlete Veronica Fraley pay her rent, NBC Sports reports.
“I’m in the Olympics tomorrow and I can’t even pay rent.” “My university only gave me about 75% of my rent, while they pay football players who didn’t make enough to buy new cars and houses,” Fraley wrote on social media on August 1.
Ohanian, who is also the husband of tennis player Serena Williams, and Drayton Jr., one of the co-founders of hip-hop group Public Enemy, responded to Frehley’s post.
A representative for the musician confirmed to NBC News that he paid Frehley’s rent in full. Ohanian posted a screenshot on social media showing that he wired Fraley $7,760. His representatives have not yet responded to media requests for comment.
On August 2, Fraley, 24, will compete in the discus throw qualifying event for the Paris Olympics.
The Olympic Games will end on August 11.
