We all have our own milestones we want to achieve. Maybe you want to earn enough money to buy yourself a new car.
Or perhaps you want to earn enough money to simply quit work all together and travel the world. But some people measure their success by what they can do for others.
And Yung Filly did exactly that, as he retired his mum from retail work.
The YouTuber appeared on last nightâs (30 March) episode of The Jonathan Ross Show and spoke about when his mum recognised that heâd made the âright choiceâ by pursuing his chosen career.
âShe used to work in Poundland,â the rapper said. âAnd it got to the point where when she was working in Poundland, people were seeing the resemblance between me and her.â

Filly explained that she would get âreally embarrassedâ as people started asking for pictures and realising who she was.
The âGreyâ rapper recalled giving her a ring and telling her to quit her job because heâs âgot her nowâ.
âShe didnât know to take it. So the months went on, sheâs still working and I call her again like âmum, Iâm serious now, you ainât got to work againâ,â he said.
But his mum didnât quite retire and totally leave the working world as he explained he then made her his âPAâ.

As Ross was comically stunned and the audience burst into laughter, Filly said: âBut itâs not like work work is it? Sheâs not like getting coffees and my laundry.â

The host then asked to clarify just what his mum does as the star explained: âJust checks and email and says: âYo, be here at this timeâ. But she loves it.â
Filly added that sheâs âbuzzing, sheâs absolutely buzzingâ.
Last year, he spoke to Indy100 about how proud he is of his success and how happy he is to have been able to help his mum.

âMy biggest achievement is helping my mum retire. Itâs my mumâs world and Iâm just living in it. I paid off my mumâs debt, my mum had loads of debt and I paid it off in one go. That was a sick feeling,â Filly said.
âI also took all of my family on holiday, that was sick, but everything is family-orientated⊠all these materialistic things ainât s**t.
âI'm just proud of myself. And I don't tell myself enough, I've smashed it.â
He definitely has, what a lad.
