Soccer Player: “When you make it out of Africa, your family expects you to support everyone!”

[SadimirPutin]

I should have said earlier this isn't a "black thing"

Examples of this can be found across all cultures cause resemtment and avarice is a Human condition

 

[@OffHalsted]

Bro its Africa, $600 usd a month can feed 2 families..

How much was they asking for?

 

[Geek Nasty]

Breh you sound crazy

Money can run out

A lot of people don’t understand money

Taxes fees agents

You get triple taxed if your really think about it

I will help close family maybe set up a few million depending on what I got but that’s it



This happens so much to us here im the states too


I have a feeling that’s what happened to master P


Remember that rant he went on saying he not the family ATM?


But there was entire think pieces on a imaginary cousin of Jay-Z


It’s crazy

he made up that story?

 

[mbewane]

Well known fact. I don't remember which football player actually got threatened and I believe even sequestrated by his brother and iirc his mom was part of the plan too. Another young breh entirely shut off his family as soon as reached 18 (I think it was in Germany) because he had signed before becoming an adult and basically entire family was living lavishngly off of him.

she's not white, she's south african word to @IAMDetroit

Dawg I wasn't defending that nikka

 

[ajnapoleon]

he made up that story?

If you watch the interview he was bouncing off what Kevin hart said


It never happened while he was a billionaire

In fact he does help family his cousin owns a chicken chain


He was talking about how when Kevin goes home when he first started getting some money and cousins he never met came out the woodwork



That lil clip cause so many think pieces





Look at this and see …


Jay just to blast what he does that’s why we don’t know about it

 

[O.Red]

Id love to see the comparison of responses in here vs that "Jay-z's cousin" thread

My dad helped out many of his family members in Nigeria to the detriment of his own.


Some genuinely needed help like my orphaned cousins. Some however expected my dad to support them wholesale. He eventually stopped but by that time the majority of us kids were grown.

Black worldwide display way too much self hate.

If I made it to a level of great financial success, I wouldn't mind helping out family members. That's just me

 

[Iceson Beckford]

My father sent money back to his island(St.kitts)

Theres more of us on here than I thought

Caribbean pressure aint the same as African pressure tho I’ll be real

 

[Richard Glidewell]

Ain't no way..........If I am paying for kids they mine now, it's obvious you can't care for them......this goes beyond help and support the way he saying it

This definitely isn’t a black/African/Caribbean thing and tbh, it’s not necessarily a poverty thing either.

It’s definitely something with the parents of the millennial generation. I know several people (across ethnicities) that have tension with their parents because they’re treated like piggy bank.

I’m earning very good money and before I bought my house, I had to give a lot of money to my parents several times for whatever reasons (and they earn very good money too). The moment I didn’t give money with a smile and a nod, it started fracturing our relationship because they would start saying things to make me feel like I’m a bad person.

I even know a girl that moved out her parents house because they were making her pay for everything and then had the cheek to say she still needs to give them a monthly contribution even though she doesn’t live there anymore

Sandy Point/Dieppe Bay bloodline represent!

My Jamaican friends I referenced be having STRIFE at times when things get lean for them up here.
