Stefani Joanne Angelina GermanottaĀ comes to mind…

Her father threw her out of the house because she wanted to become a star and her father was like…

ā€no, we are wealthy people, you are going to school to be educated and become a dentistā€

DevastatedĀ by her father’s decision, Stefanie then took her piano and wondered the streets of NY until she became Lady Gaga…a true storyĀ 

Ā 

She now does dentistry as a side job…

Mariah Carey: she was raised in a dysfunctional and poor family by her mother. Her father was black and her mother white, so she was bullied for being mixed. Also, she had to live with two other girls, sleep in an old sofa and wear only 2 dresses to make a living. One of theĀ two dresses that I mention is the black mini dress that she wore in her debut album, debut single cover and video and her first live performance.Ā

The Fame

Not many people know her but Kerli comes to mind. She was raised in an abusive household that she had to learn to survive in. Now she is a beautiful little creature living in the forest and making glorious music.

Ā 

Cardi B was poor and had to work as aĀ stripper

Ā 

Trixie Mattel was dirt poor growing up in Wisconsin, too.

The Spiceworld version of The Spice Girls (nostalgic terrible guilty pleasure right there).Ā 
Ā 

I don’t think they were actually poor in real life though, and I know Victoria was from more of an upper middle class background compared to the others (which contributed to her being ā€œPoshā€ among the group).

Post Malone was definitely someone who really worked hard AF for what they did. I remember being a huge Minecraft YouTuber fan and he did livestreams with SkyDoesMinecraft and MinecraftUniverse since they all lived together. I think Jason (MU) helped produce some of his early music and is still in contact with him. He really worked hard for his fame, def deserves it as well. Ā He’s such a cool guyĀ 

Ā 

im just proud to say I knew him before he was postĀ :huntyga:

Expect Victoria, the rest of girls are from low to middle class. Humble beginnings.

Emma grew up with her mom in Finchley, London, after her parents divorce. She was martial arts instructor. Her dad was a milkman.

Geri grew up in a council estate in North Watford, before left house as teenager, (and had toĀ do some of those topless modeling to earn money, aside from performing in night clubs),Ā and had to live in her friend couch for awhileĀ once,Ā before she joined SG. Her dad didn't Ā have regular job, and left the family when Geri was 9. Her mom did cleaning jobs.

Mel B growing up in council estate in Harehills, Leeds, (which neighborhood said to be having infamous Ā reputation), for a bit as a kid, before moving to a nicer neighborhoodĀ in Kirkstall, Leeds.Ā Mel was working as a telemarketer before joining SG.

Victoria was born rich, her dad were electronic engineer and mom was insurance clerk before owning hair salon, she once told in an interview sheĀ got around everywhere withĀ Rolls Royce as a kid.Ā 

Mel C grew up in Widnes, Chesire. She had a good upbringing. Her mother was a secretary, and dad was a fitter in elevator companyĀ

And he has stayed humble till this day, I always say it and I will say it over and over again, what attracts me to Posty is not only how handsome he is but also how down to earth he is, although he was born in NY he is still My Texan influenced, RockerĀ BoyĀ Ā :heart:

Also this Video:

He remembered all her daughters names, and although some think he appears asĀ clueless and dumb, he asked her ā€œhow old is your daughterā€ after she said her daughter wanted to marry him… 

See that’s called being Smart, KindĀ and ImportantĀ :vegas:

And this other viral one …

I have nothing to add other than the fact I thought Gaga grew up lower-middle class until like 2 years ago… I was so embarrassed ā˜ ļø
