Flavor Flav is the latest celebrity to fall behind with his finances - the rapper owes more than $183,000 in unpaid taxes.

The hip-hop star - real name William Drayton, Jr. - had a tax lien filed against him in September by California officials in Sacramento County Court, according to The Detroit News.

The 50 year old is a founding member of pioneering rap group Public Enemy and has starred in his own dating reality show, Flavor of Love, in recent years.

A number of stars have been named and shamed as indebted to the state - Snoop Dogg, MC Hammer, Chris Tucker and Janice Dickinson are also reportedly being chased for unpaid bills.
