Jay Kay rich before he got famous?
Alright. Yesterday some girl thought she knew more about Jamiroquai than me!! I was totally frustrated so I hope you know more about this: Is it true that Jay Kay was already rich before EmergencyOPE because his uncle gave him a lot of money? I thought it wasnt true as a lot of people think Cosmic Girl was the start of jamiroquai and because they saw the cars in the videoclip they think he was rich before making music.. what do you think? |

As far as I know he was quite poor before he released the first Jamiroquai album.

yes most people know he was squatting in flats and stuff before he got the big time. If his uncle had so much money why didn't he take him in?
And surely two huge albums before Cosmic Girl funded for the cars? along with the promotions, touring...

I was not audible from one like this according to person. This is not true according to me!  I read that Jay said that it lived on a street before it once. He worked as a pizza delivery person for example. I read that he slept many times on benches. Onto the cars the explanation though it, that you are looking for very much money in that period. Tours, different prizes.(Grammy..,mtv music awards  ) Was with a word from what car to have bought...  |

Also if i'm not mistaken someone stabbed him once, or tried to do while he was a 'wanderer at the city streets' as he says...

Really!  I heard that he got mixed up in some street fuss already and decided that the playing music turns towards it then. Thank God! It lived on a street since 16 of his year ages practically because I think that his mother sent it from home!  |

Zsofita, why do you call Jay "it"?
He's a person, not a thing!
