Quite,what he's doing on the show beats me. His brother can get him enough gigs, I wonder if they are really that close.seems like he's from a church background .simom must've heard of him considering his younger brother is signed to him

Yeah maybe they are half brothers you never know. Don't get me wrong I believe everyone should make their own way in life, but his brother looks like he is living in poverty and I imagine Labyrinth to be a multi millionaire. I could be wrong though.

Could be anything....I mean for all we know, Labrinth may still live on a housing estate and just invests his money wisely...unless Cowell takes 90% of the cut and he is living on the other 10% which would soon go.

He could buy his brother a house for £150,000. I really doubt he's made less than that.

Rather than being all cryptic why don't you tell us how / why you know that?

Labrinth had his pick of quite a few labels so I very much doubt his Syco contract would screw him over and as he writes the songs he will be paid well in royalties. I believe it takes a while for the royalties to filter through but I am sure he isn't hard up right now but really it isn't for us to speculate on whether he should give his brother a hand out or not. For all we know he maybe already has and he has spent it on expensive DJ equipment which I know can cost as much as a cheap flat!

I wondered that too.
All that popped into my head was a Greek myth and a David Bowie film.

Why would you assume a brother should buy another a house? I would not expect or accept my brother buying me a house just because he could.

I find it surprising that people seem to think labyrinth should buy his brother a new house.

Agreed.

McKnasty might live in a less than salubrious area (debatable), but he doesn't look like someone who is struggling.

His children look well cared for & he looks very 'healthy' to me, so I just don't see why people would expect his brother to buy him a house.

Quite possibly. Sounds realistic.

I don't understand why so many people assume that if you're on the telly or are a musician you must be a multi-millionaire.

Just what I was thinking. Also he might have a dozen brothers and sisters. In any case, I wouldn't necessarily assume he's megarich. He's not exactly Jay Z.

I don't think he's living in poverty all that drumming equipment and DJ setup will costs thousands.

Exactly.

He's not living in poverty; just look at him.

OK, he might not be able to live in the most high-brow parts of London, but the majority of Londoners can't afford to live in the best parts of London thanks to ludicrous property prices hiked up by wealthy people who don't even live in London buying properties at inflated prices.

Google is your friend. But failing that, he's one of the more inventive singers around at the moment. He had a lot of publicity as the first non talent show act to be signed by Simon Cowell for years and he appeals to quite a wide demographic. I think this was his first big release. And according to Youtube he was on BGT last year (I didn't watch it but perhaps you did?). He's also just had a number 1 with Emeli Sande. That wasn't my thing but obviously it was popular.
