Flavor Flav is paying child support for his 3-year-old son but still owes a considerable sum of money to Kate Gammell. Legal documents acquired by a news outlet state that the rapper found that he was the father of Jordan with the help of a DNA test.

Back in 2021, Flav and Gammell were fighting over a child support agreement, and the former finally agreed to pay $3,000 per month. He has continued to make the payments.

However, when he began paying, Jordan was two years old, and Gammell incurred several expenses, including medical, which she wanted Flav to pay. According to the child support agreement, Flav needs to pay the costs for two years, which sums up to $78,704.

Flav was supposed to make the payment mentioned above last month, but he still hasn’t paid after the deadline. Meanwhile, the artist intends to pay the amount and is working with an accountant to clear the payment.

He stated that he has already paid $40,000 and is currently paying $3,000 as monthly child support alongside $100,000 in attorney’s fees.
