Jarule Explains The Challenges Children Of Successful People Face

People generally believe that children of rich and successful people have no challenges, but Jarule thinks otherwise. His children, and the children of his long time friend and business associate, Irv Gotti are currently on a show called Growing Up Hip Hop. During Irv and Jarule's recent interview on The Breakfast Club show, one of the hosts of the show (DJ Envy) asked what the show would be about since their kids didn't have any struggles growing up. And Ja Rule shot back with...

"Here's the thing. Here's the thing. And I'ma just say this...They have their own struggles and their own sh*t to fight with. One is living up to the expectations of their parents. That's a big thing for them. Like just think Envy, your kids, people probably think whatever they do, or if they want to get into DJ'ing or anything like that, they would probably think they are naturally going to be good at it. You know what I'm saying. It's like the Michael Jordan syndrome for your kids. It's like people just naturally think the kids are supposed to be good at whatever the f*ck you did that you were great at. And that's just not the case. So they get that pressure on them too to be good or as good, or better than their parents. And that's a lot of pressure."

This is so true. And this is why some kids of celebrities get confused and depressed with life, because people expect so much from them when they might just want to live normal lives and find their own path.
