Joey Starr was the guest of Anne Roumanoff on Friday, in "It feels good".
The rapper tells how he met, at different times in his life, his three brothers, but also his mother, who came to see him in a dressing room just before an NTM concert, when he had not seen him for several years.
INTERVIEW
They didn't grow up together, but they are now roommates.
Joey Starr now lives with one of his three brothers.
A family that the rapper, who grew up with his father, discovered throughout his life.
He also reunited with his mother once he had gone from Didier Morville, the kid from 93, to Joey Starr, the NTM rapper.
Joey Starr recounts this atypical family construction on Friday at the microphone of Anne Roumanoff, on the occasion of his invitation to the program

"Look at him, he looks like you!"
“I met all my brothers along the way, I discovered them at different times in my life,” explains Joey Starr.
The first of these three brothers, the rapper meets him in his childhood.
But without knowing that they are related.
The adults "put us together on weekends, but without telling us anything", he recalls, without revealing too much.
The truth only emerges after several years, when Joey Starr and this ignoring brother grow up and start dating.
"He's your brother! Look at him, he looks like you", the singer's friends are surprised.
"From there, we started asking questions."
"Before concerts, some people take drugs. Me, I meet my mother"
His two other brothers, Joey Starr meet them once he becomes famous.
Just like his mother.
"There is one who bluntly told his mother, therefore mine, that he was going to an NTM concert. He was 14 years old, me 23", explains the rapper.
This unknown brother shows his mother an NTM record.
"But he is your brother," she replies.
"The guy finds himself going to the concert with his friends and his mother, my mother whom I haven't seen in ages," Joey Starr laughs today.
His mother, whom he and his brothers call "Mam'Yvette", then visits him in the lodge.
"Before concerts, there are people who take drugs. Me, I meet my mother," says Joey Starr.
"If security hadn't let her through, she would have teleported. She must have the gift of ubiquity, she can be in two places at the same time," he laughs.
Joey Starr then reunites with his mother and one of his three brothers, of whom he was not even aware until then.
