Flavor Flav is celebrating a big milestone in his sobriety.

On Wednesday, the 63-year-old rapper — born William Drayton Jr. — announced on social media that he's reached two years of sobriety.

"Today is October 19. Guess what? I am two years no cigarettes, two years no alcohol. And you know what? I feel real good y'all, just to let you know." he said in an Instagram video. "I'm gonna do this another maybe 22 more years, I don't know. But right now I'm working on one year at a time, folks."

"And I don't care what nobody says, but I look good," he added. "Still sober baby!"

Flav also posted a photo of his sobriety tracking app, writing in the caption, "Two years of sobriety y'all. I am very proud of myself, I just had to let everybody know it. I'm proud of me."

Many fellow stars and fans of the rapper praised his sobriety under the post, including rapper Warren G who commented, "Keep up the good work homeboy congratulations."

"Super proud of you. Continue to do what you're doing one year at a time 🙌🙌," one fan wrote while another added, "And looking younger too, proud of ya Flav."
