In one of the most iconic examples, Victoria Beckham claimed that she grew up "working class" in the documentary Beckham. Her husband David quickly took issue with this, pushing Victoria to admit to the type of car her father, an electronics engineer, drove her to school in...a Rolls-Royce. Netflix 2. Despite how he was portrayed in Straight Outta Compton, Ice Cube wasn't actually from Compton. He was born in Baldwin Hills and raised in South Central Los Angeles, and his parents both had stable jobs working at UCLA. He attended George Washington Preparatory High School and later was bused to William Howard Taft Charter High School in suburban Woodland Hills. He then earned a degree in architectural drafting. Many colleagues have questioned his street cred. Rapper Kam said in a diss track, "It's a shame you got rich off our stress and strife, / you ain't never gang banged in your life," and both Kam and DJ Alonzo Williams referred to him as an "actor." Paras Griffin / Getty Images Music manager Jerry Heller also called him "not exactly the toughest guy that I ever met," pointing out his upbringing and high school. 3. Whitney Cummings has repeatedly said that she was poor as a kid, stating that she loved Roseanne because "I grew up poor, and that was the first show that looked like my house. It was the first show that didn't make me feel bad about myself." She's also listed the "poor people food" she ate, like cereal, peanut butter and jelly (or banana) sandwiches, and fish sticks. While she admitted her mom was a Neiman Marcus publicist and her dad was a "venture capitalist," she said it was more that he called himself that and would borrow and lend money until it was gone. She said the heat didn't work in her house, that she often had lice, and that she often ate at neighbors' houses since her parents didn't feed her.

Cummings grew up in Georgetown (a wealthy area), attended St. Andrew's Episcopal School (around $50,000 in yearly tuition), had her own horse, and then went to UPenn, an Ivy League school. While it could be that her circumstances drastically changed in the middle of her childhood (she did state she moved in with her sister before high school), it certainly doesn't seem like she grew up in poverty. This early Washington Post interview states Cummings grew up "in relative comfort padded by free lotions, perfumes and clothes from Bloomingdale's and Neiman Marcus." Albert L.

But his mother, Voletta Wallace, later claimed this wasn't true, denying that he ever had to eat sardines for dinner. They likely didn't celebrate Christmas because his mother was a Jehovah's Witness. Chris Walter / Getty Images Biggie also went to private school, and the "one room shack" he referenced in his music was actually an apartment in Brooklyn (it has been renovated, though it was clearly never a "shack"). He was described by the New Yorker as "middle class." L. Busacca / Getty Images 5. Bob Dylan has been caught in more than a few lies about his childhood. For example, he once claimed that he didn't know his parents - around the same time, he was putting them up in hotels and inviting them to his shows. He also once claimed he was raised in New Mexico and sang for a traveling carnival from the ages of 13 to 19 - and that he used to turn "tricks in Times Square to make ends meet." None of this is true. Mirrorpix / Getty Images He also changed his name and the way he talked and dressed to better emulate Woody Guthrie and claimed he had a troubled childhood. The result was that Dylan had the persona of a working-class man from the American West and not that of a largely suburban, middle-class kid from upstate Minnesota, close to Canada.

Lana Del Rey's music often paints a picture of a "white trash" woman who came from a low-income family out west or in Florida and lived in a trailer park - which fans have contradicted after learning her father is now a millionaire. However, Del Rey maintains that her father made his money after she became an adult, saying that she grew up in one of "the most rural places in America" (Lake Placid) and that her family "had absolutely no money." While she did go to an elite boarding school, she said it was through her uncle working there and that she received financial aid.
