CANNED FOOD DRIVE MADE WILL.I.AM REALISE HE WAS POOR

Hip-hop superstar Will.i.am realised his family were dirt poor when classmates turned up at his door with offerings from a canned food drive.

The Black Eyed Peas star, real name William Adams, never had any idea his mother was struggling because she always insisted on buying him the best clothes and making sure her four kids didn't go without anything.

But the family's fortunes came into question one autumn.

The Where Is The Love? hitmaker, now a multi-millionaire, tells Giant magazine, "One day I said, 'Mom, we gotta take canned foods to school.' She was like, 'Boy, you ain't taking no canned foods to school.'"

The future hitmaker protested, but realised his family was among the needy benefiting from the canned food drive when two school pals showed up at his door.

He adds, "That's when I knew we were poor."

Will is great. I love his music very much. Just yesterday, I saw him on the celebrity singles dating club millionairecupid.com with a nice profile posted. He is cool and active there.
