If you're son/daughter is a athlete or entertainer and they grew up rich & connected...you're a failure.

[Luke Cage]

It's easier to successfully follow in your parents footsteps because they already have the knowledge and knowhow that they can impart to you. Not to mention the connections.

Don't mean you need to pretend to be from the same background as your parents though (speaking to second gen rappers. TI kids have more in common with Jaden Smith than their pops)

But it is certainly a logical choose to make.
But there is no cutoff age for career changes. If somebody like Bronny wants to play ball, let him. Once his career is over he can go back to college and pursue something else. Not like he permantly ended all his prospects

 

[UpNext]

I get the idea of where you're coming from, but these kids don't have to take life as seriously as normal folks so they don't.

 

[RickyDiBiase]

I agree most wealthy Black entertainers seem to drop the ball with investing in their kids.

But Bron should've been honest bout Bronnys skills lol

What do your kids do?

 

[Po pimp]

This has gotta be one of the dumbest threads I’ve ever seen. There has been white nepotism in Hollywood and sports for a long time, but a black entertainer’s kids have to change the world or be a doctor/lawyer, even though they make more money “entertaining” than they would doing those jobs. Even if they went that route, they still wouldn’t get the same level of respect due to the fact that they have a famous parent.

White supremacy got u nikkas in a chokehold . Talking bout “if I was a billionaire” man go clock the fukk in and stop daydreaming. Talking like all black billionaire children should be chasing Nobel peace prizes(which is still euro based) instead of living their life how they want too. That man got a black wife and black kids with no scandals, I’d say life is good over there

 

[Low_key]

The truth come out every time yall salivate over these so called “Pawg” threads yet I’m supposed to believe yall some militants. Most billionaire kids are fukk ups that succeed because of who’s behind them

 

[Amo Husserl]

Lebron only care about his legacy. Thought that was known.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Grant Hill and Tamia's daughter is an MMA fighter if im not mistaken.

 

[feelosofer]

So we're just going to act like Bronny isn't already set for life. If he fails at basketball there is a hundred lanes he can get into. LeBron's children can literally do whatever they want.

Y'all boys STAY on one


Like damn do you have to angry to be a contributor around here?

I just came from the Floyd Mayweather thread

I don't even know how to reply to that


You made me laugh tho

Bc that “billionaires son” is taking the spot and $$ from someone more deserving/better bc of HIS FATHERS accomplishments. The LeBron/bronny discussion is not a hard 1 to understand, he’s not an NBA player. G-League guy at best

This isn't about nepotism.

But, I'd rather Lebron let his son be a nepo baby in his media companies or even at his school rather than wasting time in the NBA.

Bronny is never gonna make an All-Star team.

But then again Archie manning put both his sons Peyton and Eli in the nfl and dale curry put Steph curry in the nba.

Archie Manning played in the 80's. He definitely wasn't rich.

Dell Curry might've had money but no connections.

I can give them a pass. shyt Scottie Pippen was going broke, I understand his son having to hustle in the NBA.

Lebron & Obama is an egregious example. And I respect Lebron.

 

[Easy-E]

The spot that Bronny is taking up is rather inconsequetinal because it's a revolving door.

I shouldn't have used Lebron as an example because he makes convos go crazy & ppl get out of sorts.

IDK about the "Sacred NBA roster spots."

shyt, I think Lebron should already own one of these teams with all the money he makes for them.

My issue is; you own Targets and after 18 years, you're son is a a Target cashier.

 

[Easy-E]

There's a ton of white kids who grew up rich who don't do jack sh*t in life. They're just socialites who try to DJ and promote parties and sh*t. Yeah some might have a honorary degree and went to a prestigious university because of who their parents are, and I get this thread to a degree, but all rich white kids aren't productive members of society and pillars of their family.

And I wasn't trying to make it about black or white.

If you a tech CEO and you're son a DJ...you're a fukking failure as a parent.

If you're daugther is a social media influencer....you fukking failed.

Black, White, Asian, Latino, etc., etc.

 

[Easy-E]

@Easy-E came in hot today (pause). Lol

I don’t necessarily agree, but there are (as usual with most things) levels to this chit.

For example, let’s isolate one thing it looks like is being skipped:



There are people who are “rich & connected”, but “billionaire“ is even above that…
so yeah - if you are a Billionaire and your child is an entertainer, you as the Billionaire parent (put yourself in those shoes) either feel like

A) “I failed”
B) “At least they’re doing what they want, and I can help them”
C) “They better be good at it, because I’m a Billionaire not them. They gotta get their own money”

My point is; you got 18 years to prepare your child for greatness (yes, greatness, wtf you got a billion for if not to provide for your kid).

And the best you could do is basically what a regular kid could accomplish?

And again, if a billionaire raises the next GOAT NBA player or if your kid is a genius level musician, I guess I understand.

But, you got Michael Irving son rapping about the trenches. That man failed that boy!
