I live on a council estate & have a Rolex – I’m trolled for ‘keeping myself poor’ but I’m proud to be from the block
A WOMAN has hit back at mean trolls after she bought a Rolex watch, despite living on a council estate.
Trewley Precious took to social media to show off her new luxe watch that she worked hard to save for – but some say it was a silly purchase.
In a recent clip, Trewley unboxed her brand new watch beaming with excitement as she asked viewers not to tell her mum about the extravagant purchase.
“Don’t tell my mum cause she’ll beat me up,” she said before tearing the package open.
She revealed that she decided to splash the cash as it was her birthday and wanted to treat herself.
Trewley, who still lives with her family on a council estate, said she had the receipts to prove her purchase was real and thanked her viewers for their support which allowed her to buy it in the first place.
The Rolex watch strap consisted of mixed metals – gold and silver and the face was pink and bejewelled with diamonds.
Nothing can define you if you work hard

While she didn’t reveal just how much the watch cost, she did say it was a 1992 Rolex which can cost upwards of £5,000.
However, cruel trolls said she was keeping herself poor with the purchase.
One wrote: “Council house and a Rolex?
“As the old saying goes… “The rich stay rich by playing poor and the poor stay poor by acting rich”.”
However, Trewley wasn’t going to let the haters have the last word and hit back in another video.
“Babe, no one is pretending that they’re poor and they’re rich, no, I am from the block.
“This is the private area. If you don’t believe me, let me show you.
“Welcome to the Block,” she said proudly as she stepped outside to show off her council estate.
Trewley added that she had worked hard to get the Rolex for herself and it had always been a goal for her.
As for being rich, she revealed that she was as she had her family, friends and life, adding a watch made no difference.
She finished the video, saying: “It don’t matter if you’re from a council estate, if you’re from a rich estate, wherever you’re from, if you’ve got goals, go and get em.
“No one, no matter where you come from, nothing can define you if you work hard.”
The clip posted to her TikTok account @trewleyprecious has since gone viral with over 160k views and 11k likes.
Plenty of people took to the comments supporting Trewley telling trolls it was up to her what she spent her money on.
One person wrote: “Council estates are the absolute best.. most rich people don’t even know there neighbours names.”
Another commented: “It’s giving jealousy, keep doing you boo.”
“Being rich isn’t material, its personal, surrounding myself with good people and making memories and living another day is a reason I’m ‘rich,’” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “It’s mad how no one claps for anyone doing good in life now! Always gotta have some negativity towards anything. Love how humble you are.”
“Don’t understand why people feel like they can tell others what to spend their money on, like are you ok,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Why do people even care it’s her money.”
