▪️“I bought them cars, a house but it still wasn’t enough.”
I gave everything to my family.
A car for each of my siblings. A house and two cars for my mother. A car for my father.
I thought that’s what love looked like. Taking care of the people who raised you. Making sure they never struggled again.
But then I learned something that broke me:
People don’t want what you give them. They want what you HAVE.
No matter how much I gave, it was never enough. The more successful I became, the more they wanted. Not because they were proud of me. Because they saw what I had and felt entitled to it.
Fame comes with a price. And sometimes that price is betrayal from the ones you love the most. I’ve learned some hard lessons:
Your generosity doesn’t guarantee their gratitude.
You can give until you’re empty, and some people will still look at you with their hand out.
Protect your heart, not just your success.
Not everyone who cheers for you actually wants to see you win. Some people just want to be close enough to take from you.
Keep fighting, even when it hurts.
The hardest punches I’ve taken didn’t come in the ring. They came from my own corner. But I’m still standing. Still fighting. Because that’s what champions do.
I’m not just a boxer. I’m a survivor.
And I’ll keep moving forward, with or without them.
