It's been a rough year for Flavor Flav. 

He got beatdown in a casino and then found out he owed the IRS almost $3.2 Million, and things are getting even worse for the rapper slash reality star. 

On a recent episode of Growing Up Hip Hop New York, Flav reveals to his family that he has pancreatitis, and it may be because of his drinking. 

According to WebMD, Pancreatitis is...

"A disease in which your pancreas becomes inflamed. The pancreas is a large gland behind your stomach and next to your small intestine. Your pancreas does two main things: It releases powerful digestive enzymes into your small intestine to help you digest food."

In the clip, Flav states that once the Pancreas goes, you go, so it's definitely a serious matter.
