concealed his identity - has come forward to allege he witnessed the
former Los Angeles Clippers basketball player consume the illegal drug
on as many as 10 occasions since 2010 when Lamar visited Queens in New

In a video interview with Radar, the dealer said: '[Lamar has a] huge problem and he has a very addictive personality. It is becoming worse as you can see.' Under fire: The
drug allegations come in the wake of Lamar's recent marriage troubles
to Khloe Kardashian-Odom following claims she kicked him out of their
Los Angeles home 'He [Lamar] 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. In my experience, he
literally likes cocaine. He is a cocaine guy. He likes to smoke it.' The allegations come in the wake of
Lamar's recent marriage troubles to Khloe Kardashian-Odom following
claims she kicked him out of their Los Angeles home, giving him an
ultimatum to go and seek help for his drug problems. However,TMZhave reported that Khloe's demands was met with a radio silence from Lamar who has gone 'off the grid' with his wife. A source has told the website that Khloe is 'totally in the dark' with her husbands latest movements or whereabouts. Meanwhile, Radar reports the dealer
supplied Lamar with cocaine - which he would then freebase, a method of
consumption whereby the user purifies the drug by burning it and then
inhale the fumes. 'He loves the party lifestyle': A New York-based drug dealer has claimed that he sold cocaine to Lamar Odom on a regular basis Problems: Lamar Odom's alleged drug dealer has claimed he spent $50,000 on cocaine in three years
