Flavor Flav was very lucky in misfortune. While driving to LA, his car was hit by a falling rock.
Sometimes centimeters make the difference between life and death. This is also the case with US rapper Flavor Flav (62). As reported by the US portal “TMZ”, the public enemy musician narrowly escaped a disaster: A huge boulder fell on his car on Tuesday and severely damaged the front of the vehicle. However, he was able to leave the car unharmed after the incident.
Flavor Flav was “very close to death”
Flavor Flav was on the way from Las Vegas to Los Angeles when heavy rains triggered a rock avalanche in La Tuna Canyon. One of the rocks caught the hood and the front wheel of the rapper. Flav then lost control of his car, but was able to bring it to a standstill on the side of the road a short time later. “God is good,” Flav told the portal after the accident. He was “very close to death” and “super grateful” that he was still alive.
Flavor Flav is one of the greatest American rap pioneers and has been a member of the New York formation Public Enemy since 1982. In Germany he celebrated his greatest success with DJ Tomekk (46) with the song “1, 2, 3, … Rhymes Galore (From New York to Germany)”. Outside of the rap scene, he became famous thanks to his relationship with Brigitte Nielsen (58) and his own reality format “Flavor of Love”.
