Jhené Aiko Addresses Online Critics After Losing Her Home In LA Wildfires
BlkCosmo caught the ‘Stay Ready’ singer dropping a comment under a post, calling out folks who brushed off her loss due to her celebrity status.
“The fact some of you think I have Paris Hilton money is wild. I don’t got it like that, but I do have a big, loving family that is worth more than anything,” Aiko wrote.
Jhené also shared how she lost her home to a fire back in second grade and dealt with kids clowning her thinking she came from money. She added that she’s thankful for being in a better spot now than she was back then.
“But they thought we were rich because we had love!! My family and our friends came together and made sure my mom and me and my siblings had at least 1 new sweat suit and 1 new pair of shoes the very next day. I am fortunate enough to be in a better situation than back then. And I pray I can have as much grace as my mother did during that time. I work very hard for my family. I pray that you all stay safe God Bless,” Aiko continued.
