and get insecure about it.

I don't think the intent of any of these celebrities are really missing the point. There just seems to be this remove between people once a person gets set financially. That person might not even different personality-wise. But I'm willing to bet that that doesn't stop people from feeling like the rich person changed.

The sentiment is still true...'You can do it too'. The price you have to pay for a certain status might be different but it's still possible.

In that regard, Dez may be right to an extent (keyword--to an extent). If someone is determined to mope about how hard their life is, they are dedicated thought equity to the problem over the solution. Of course, Dez ain't 100% correct. There are plenty examples of white people deterring Black success. But white folks aren't always the problem.
