Katy Perry, her parents were on food stamps and welfare
Rihanna obviously.
Kesha, Paris& Nicole's reality show showed her trailer park
Nicki, this one is self-explanatory
My fave was raised by her mom when her alcoholic dad left them when she was just 3. She grew up in London's roughest neighbourhood where all minorities live and worked at her a cafe washing dishes from an early age to support her mom who had 2 jobs.
Wow reading some of these background stories are very inspiring. Rihanna, Madonna and Shania are some of the ones sticking out to me the most.
Kesha didn't have much of a privileged background either
Quote:
Pebe, a single mother, struggled financially while supporting herself, Kesha, and Kesha's older brother Lagan; they relied on welfare payments and food stamps to get by. When Kesha was an infant, Pebe would often have to look after her onstage while performing.
The royalties from Old Flames Can't Hold A Candle To You must've really helped them.
