Mika, 26 years old singer, rented a huge house in L.A. but his mom banned from using it.
“She put a gypsy curse on me and said the more money I spent on comfort, the worse my album would be,” he said. “Superstitious idiot that I am, I went back to the same old apartment I’d stayed in before.”
And it seems that Mika hasn’t quite nice words about his mom. “Money matters for me because I never used to be able to pay bills, which I can now. But to my mother, my career never has or ever will be about commercial success,” he said. “It’s about discipline. Since I was 12 she’s drilled a quest for excellence into me — tirelessly.”
