Flavor Flav

Flavor Flav says his daughter, Dazayna Drayton, is getting a bad rap after her arrest this weekend, claiming she didn't lay a hand on him ... which she is accused of.

The whole thing was just a family dispute that got out of hand, Flav says.

Flav claims he tried to stop the cops from arresting Dazayna, but Nevada's zero tolerance law requires police to book anyone who allegedly strikes a family member.

"The whole thing was a big misunderstanding that shouldn't have happened," he says. "No one in my family called the cops on my daughter; she did not beat me up."

Flav, whose word must be taken with a grain of salt, as he is insane, makes it clear, "I love my daughter and will never let anything happen that could come between us."

Dazayna Drayton was booked for misdemeanor battery Sunday.

It's unclear who called the cops, but someone did after Flav's 19-year-old girl got into an argument with one his stepsons, which eventually became physical.

Flav tried to break it up and got hit by his daughter for his troubles - either on purpose or by accident (he's clearly saying the latter) - and authorities found enough evidence of domestic violence to take her into custody afterward.

Flavor Flav found himself behind bars in Las Vegas this weekend after the rapper / reality star was pulled over for a routine traffic violation.

The police officer who pulled him over at 10:57 p.m. Friday noticed there were FOUR outstanding warrants for his arrest. That'll usually do it.

Flav (real name William Jonathan Drayton, Jr.) never settled up with the court in four separate automobile-related matters and was busted.

In short, driving without proof of insurance plus a parking violation and two cases of driving without a license equals new celebrity mug shot!

Flavor Flav says the only reason he was arrested Friday night is because some "curious Rookie Ass Cop" wanted to make a name for himself.

Flav went on Twitter to explain himself, saying that "I was on my home from Benihana's I got pulled over by a curious Rookie Ass Cop."

"He found out I had a traffic warrant wanted to make a name for himself took me in and now I'm home laying my bed what's the big deal?!"

Apparently, nothing now, because Flav settled those past automotive woes: "At least, I cleared up my sh*t ... some people are still on the run!"

Attaboy.

We love Peter Sarsgaard. But the actor has a long way to go until he catches up with Flavor Flav in the baby-making department.

While Sarsgaard and Maggie Gyllenhaal welcomed their first child into the world recently, Flavor is expecting his seventh kid in the near future - but NOT with Deelishis, the supposed winner of his heart on the reality show, Flavor of Love this season.

"Flav has confirmed this and Deelishis is aware that after things did not work with the season-one winner, Flav conceived a child with a woman he had been dating on and off," the rapper's manager says.

The manager declined to provide additional details. It seems likely, however, that this love child may look stranger than Suri Cruise.

Flav first broke the news on radio's Tom Joyner Morning Show. He still loves Deelishis, he said, and the baby's mother is not "a Flavor of Love lady." We're gonna assume this discounts Lindsay Lohan - because she's EVERYone's flavor of the month, right?

Flav said he wants 10 children overall and "one thing I will never do is deny any of my kids."

Deny them the chance to be normal, we assume he means.

Asked if he would marry the woman, who Flav described only as a "shorty in Las Vegas," the rapper said, "I'm not marrying anybody. I'm too young to die."

The recently-separated Reese Witherspoon can probably now relate to this sentiment. Kind of.

Asked in September to describe his dream girl, Flav told People magazine:

"I want a girl who looks good when she wakes up in the morning. We could take her face and dip it in dough and she'll make some nice face cookies. Some girls wake up, man, you could put their face in dough and you'll get a gorilla cookie, for real!"

Meanwhile, other girls named Nicole Richie vomit at the word "cookies."
