During a sit down interview with Page Six, rapper Dave East spoke candidly about his career and the may struggles he faced before getting his big break. He even mentioned a brief time when he was homeless and slept in a car, but said he used his “good looks” to help him secure housing.
“Yep, I have had the experience of being homeless. I had slept in cars for a minute. I was homeless throughout the whole year,” the Harlem native told us at an Irving Plaza show to benefit Hoodies for the Homeless. “It was more [that] I did not want to ask my moms and pops at the time [for help], and I felt like I was grown so I went through my little phase.”
