Actress Stella Damasus has opened up about how upbringing shapes a person’s relationship with money, fame, and the need for validation.
Speaking on a recent episode of Tea with Tay, Damasus explained that growing up in a comfortable and loving home can make individuals less likely to be overwhelmed by wealth or public attention later in life.

“The truth is, when you grow up in a comfortable home, there’s no amount of money or fame that will move you crazy. When there’s love at home… what is it that anything wants to do to me that I did not experience growing up?” she said.
She added that those raised in stable environments often develop a grounded mindset, already having emotional fulfillment that money alone cannot provide.

Damasus clarified that she wasn’t talking about wealth or a luxurious lifestyle, but rather a balanced upbringing that shapes perspective and priorities.
“So when I see people going all crazy because of money, I sometimes think, maybe you’re not used to this. If you’ve grown up with a certain lifestyle, you recognize what feels like an achievement and can be content: ‘This is good. I’ve achieved this. That’s okay. Keep it moving,’” she explained.
She also criticized the mentality of flaunting wealth or seeking validation through material possessions.

“But when you want the whole world to know, ‘Look at this money, it suffered for my hand… you must see that I have it,’ that’s a mentality,” Damasus said.
