Living in a shelter for 2 yrs...lets go buy a 3k necklace as soon as we get money. Lets go look at a Hummer, buy new clothes! He is so irresponsible and just came out of this documentary looking ignorant and shady. Then the record label he bails on writes his back rent check for over 2k when he doesnt pay for 3 months. Ghetto Rich mentality.

The dad (Jesse) needs to go and get a job! They were living in a shelter. He gets $10,000 and blows is on bulls#%t, then the family is struggling again. He's using her as a meal ticket. Maybe by the time she's 18 she'll dump him for stardom....Michael Jackson did it.

Her dad is a terrible manager. He seems to have ruined a few good opportunities for her. He needs to lose that ugly wig, it looks terrible on his head.

Well she's such a little woman. She knows what she wants, but I'm glad she got over that eight pounds of jewelry. Naturally, when you're poor and get cash you become hood rich and want to buy it all. Solsky looks crazy.
