Anyone who watched recently completed FX miniseries The People vs. O.J. Simpson saw the life-size statue Simpson had of himself in his backyard, but it was unclear if said statue actually existed.
Well, we now have confirmation that it does:

TMZ reported that Flavor Flav got the statue as a gift from radio host Mancow Muller, who apparently bought the statue for $3,250 at an auction in 1999. Why Flavor Flav would want it is a question without an answer.
Given Simpson’s status as a celebrity who surely held himself in high regard, it’s not really surprising he had a statue of himself made and probably displayed on his property. Who wouldn’t want a statue of themselves, if they had the means? Right?
