Donnie Wahlberg invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into younger brother Mark in the early days of the Marky Mark rapper's career, telling him, "Don't waste my money."
The New Kids on the Block alum told SiriusXM's "Andy Cohen Live" in an interview with the band that he was determined to "help my brother, you know, stay out of the streets because his life was going nowhere fast, and he was in good shape and, you know, he'd come out to shows and fans would be like, ‘Oh my god, he's cute,’ and I'd be like, ‘He is cute. Make this kid famous.’"
Donnie explained that he also co-wrote Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch’s first album to prove that he was more than just a boy bander and could write songs.
