A man claiming to be Lamar Odom’s drug dealer is speaking out, saying the NBA star and husband to Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ Khloe Kardashian spent $50,000 on cocaine in a span of three years.
The dealer did an interview with RadarOnline and claimed that he would smoke cocaine and he would do it during basketball season, even before a game.
“He likes to party. He’s a pretty nice guy to be honest with you, but he’s becoming … his problem seems to be becoming a bigger problem,” he said in the interview, noting he’s met up with him to sell him drugs on about 10 occasions since 2010.
“In my experience, he literally likes cocaine — he is a cocaine guy. He likes to smoke it,” he said.
He went on to tell a story about when Odom was in New York and spent $16,000 in one visit on drugs. The dealer claims he smoked cocaine before the Los Angeles Clippers’ win over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
“Specifically, I want to say [it was] February of 2013. He was in New York.
For other reasons, I don’t really want to give the specific location of the place … sounds weird that I want to keep a level of discretion at this point, but, he was in New York. He comes to New York a lot,” he said.
The dealer also said Odom has a “huge problem and he has a very addictive personality. It is becoming worse as you can see.”
Meanwhile, Odom got a DUI on Friday and reportedly continues to avoid rehab.
