Flava Flav is a father for the 8th time. A DNA test confirms the famed Public Enemy rapper is the father of a child with his former personal assistant Kate Gammell.
Gammell will now petition the court to order Flava, real name William Jonathan Drayton Jr., to provide generous child support for herself and her 2-month-old son, Jordan.
The 60-year-old Pisces is best known as the hype man for Chuck D, 59, and the iconic hip-hop group Public Enemy.
Flava went on to make a name for himself as one of the pioneers of early reality competition television shows.
Flava fathered three children with Karen Ross and three more kids with Angie Parker. He also has a young son, Karma, with Elizabeth Trujillo.
In addition to starring in WEtv’s Growing Up Hip-Hop: New York, Flava Flav graduated from culinary school and worked in several restaurants.
Gammell’s pregnancy was documented on Growing Up Hip-Hop, leading to speculation that her pregnancy is made-for-TV.
Flava previously denied he was the father of little Jordan.
