Flavor Flav's Former Chicken Restaurant Partner Files Lawsuit

You thought it was over when they decided to shut down Flav’s Iowa chicken coop? His former partner in the original Flavor Flav’s House of Chicken isn’t ready to let it go yet.

Why? Because, according to TMZ, he feels as though Flav stole his idea and took it to Vegas to get more dough alone.

The man who filed the report is Tommy Karas — who claims he wrangled up investors for Flav’s Las Vegas fried chicken project back in April and was supposed to handle the money for the deal.

According to the report, Flav went behind Tommy’s back — telling the investors HE was the money man … and even getting them to send him a $30,000 investment … cutting Tommy out of the deal altogether.

Tommy filed a report with the Las Vegas Metro PD — but law enforcement sources tell us … “The allegations did not meet the elements of a crime” — and cops will not pursue the case because, “It’s a civil matter.”

We’re told Karas is meeting with attorneys to weigh his legal options. Calls to Flav’s people have not been returned.

Was Flav foul for not bringing his partner in wings in on the Vegas deal? Or is Tommy Karas just hating?
