Olympian Veronica Fraley posted on social media Thursday that, with only 24 hours to go before competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics, she can’t afford to pay rent.

Rapper Flavor Flav responded, saying that he would pay it “today,” so she wouldn’t have to worry about it “tomorrow.”

Reddit co-owner and Serena William’s husband, Alexis Ohanian, also stepped in, posting a screenshot of a Venmo transaction to Fraley totaling nearly $8,000.

Fraley initially criticized Vanderbilt for covering 75% of her rent, while giving football players “enough to buy new cars and houses.” She later explained that she was not mad at the school, but rather with NCAA rules that dictate how student athletes are able to make money.

Those rules have changed in recent years, allowing student athletes to profit off the use of their name, image and likeness. However, Fraley said that NIL law “favors popularity over performance,” and doesn’t compensate her the same way it compensates major college sports.

Thanks for the supporting messages but I want to clarify my irritation isn’t with the school itself, mainly the rules that bar me from making the amount I’m WORTH as a collegiate athlete such as NIL which favors popularity over performance. that’s all I’m sayin. Wish me luck tm! https://t.co/ghiu6DdDI3
