Harlem’s own Dave East has had a tough journey on his way to notoriety but he says having the privilege of being a handsome fellow might have made his hardships a lot smoother.
At a benefit show for Hoodies For The Homeless at Irving Plaza on Thursday (October 18), East told Page Six about how he survived being homeless during a terrible period of his life.
“Yep, I have had the experience of being homeless,” East said. “I had slept in cars for a minute. I was homeless throughout the whole year. It was more [that] I did not want to ask my moms and pops at the time [for help], and I felt like I was grown so I went through my little phase.”
Despite facing dire hard times, East credits his attractiveness to having an easier time in the streets than most.
“I am not going to lie — my looks helped me,” he added. “I stayed with a couple of girls … shout-out to them. They know who they are.”
Styles P, who was also in attendance and shares the new joint album Beloved with East, also shared his experiences of being homeless.
“I have been homeless,” he said. “I lived in one of those motels for a minute — me, my moms, my little brother and sister. Then we made it out and moved to a great neighborhood.” [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Let me guess he’s gonna lie how he sold his body to WHITE rich women because they all just had the jungle fever or some other bullshit. Probably this guys publicist/manager with a last name like Cohen/Goldman or similar suggested the idea to spew this propaganda.
Wow, this comment is impressively racist. Why is this site full of racist trolls?
So woman are just shallow beings that lose all sense of awareness when a “handsome” man walks by? Those women who helped you out when you had nowhere to turn are just horny hoodrats who wanted that “D” from a handsome ma’fucka? Hahahaha what a douche
Woke! Woke Woke Woke! Woke!
I was working as a security guard at Brainerd International Raceway and I let this chick blow me for a half a 1.75 of Taaka. Neither of us are good looking. And I got fired for it. Stole a pretty dope flashlight on my way out the door though. Truest shit i ever said. Yeah and it has nothing in common with this story except both me and Dave East bumping them Herps
So both you and Dave East got herps? Great reveal
