Oratile revealed that, growing up, he had a tough time dealing with his mother's fame.

“I’m really affected by the negative stories, especially when there were reports my mom was homeless and stealing from people. I feel like people aren’t giving her the recognition she deserves. She contributed a lot to this country,” he said.
