Perhaps it's time for Flavor Flav to step away from his House of Flavor and take care of his house(s) of children. 

The 53-year-old Public Enemy rapper is facing a 180-day jail sentence for allegedly failing to cough up more than $111,186 in support payments to the mother of three of his seven children, according to the New York Daily News.

And that's not all...

After Flav, whose real name is William Jonathan Drayton Jr., didn't show up for a hearing this week, an Albany, N.Y. magistrate also recommended his driver's license and passport be revoked. 

And while Flav is required to pony up $837.72 a week to baby-mama Angie Parker for child support, this isn't the first time the outspoken rapper has slipped up on child-support payments.

Back in 2010, Parker brought Flav to court to pay $63,458 that he owed for the same offense.

The House of Flavor restaurant owner is due back in court June 19.
