A man claiming to be Lamar Odom's drug dealer alleges the NBA veteran has spent more than $50,000 on cocaine over the last three years, including one extravagant binge he engaged in before an NBA game just six months ago, according to RadarOnline.
The website also reports Odom's preferred method of substance abuse was to freebase cocaine, a process by which the drug is reduced to its purest forms by burning it and inhaling it which currently is particularly popular among the Hollywood crowd.
In a video interview reportedly obtained by RadarOnline, Odom's New York based supplier "Mr. Fix It," alleges he has been in Odom's company at least ten times over the last three years where he was "high" on drugs.
"He likes to party," the self-confessed dealer-to-the-stars told Radar. "He's a pretty nice guy to be honest with you, but he's becoming ... his problem seems to be becoming a bigger problem. In my experience, he literally likes cocaine - he is a cocaine guy. He likes to smoke it."
RadarOnline also reports the man's story was corroborated by photographic proof of his ties to the the 33-year-old NBA veteran. The man even recounted specific times when he recalled Odom seemed out of control.
"Specifically, I want to say it was February of 2013," the man said. "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."
Odom and the Los Angles Clippers were in New York for a Feb. 10 game against the Knicks, which the Clippers won by 14 points and where Odom played 22 minutes and scored just 2 points.
"I know it for a fact because I sold him the stuff and saw him smoke it," the man said of the timing. "He spent about 16 grand in one sitting."
When Radar quizzed the man about what $16,000 gets you in the drug world, he responded "It gets you pretty f**ked up. Quantity wise, it was a little under half a kilo. But it's not coming in a form that I would give it to another dealer, it's coming more broken down so it's like, okay, I want to spend 3 or 4 grand and I'll call you back, hey I got another four grand for you, hey I have five, it's more like that."
