The journey to becoming the current Str8 Up presenter was a tough one for Joel Masuti alias Joedebestt.
The young TV personality says he had it rough because his dad was against his career path because he had to protect his reputation as a Bishop.
Speaking to the writer, Joedebestt says his mom was very supportive but he had to play some sort of reverse psychology on his dad to win over his support.
"My dad was against what I was doing because of his reputation as a Bishop but he ended up supporting me 'cause I told him if he wants me to come stay with him, I'll stop what I was doing and that he should be ready to always give me money whenever I wanted it. So so he had no choice but to support me," he said.
Joedebesst is a born again Christian and Str8up being a show that focuses on everything revolving around the Showbiz, it meant he'd face so much backlash from those who know him.
"I will be honest with you my dad prays for people and heals the sick, so a lot of people said that all the demons that my dad casts out of people came onto me, which hurt my feelings so much but I become so tough and knew that I haven't seen anything yet."
