"Hold On," "My Lovin,'" and "Free Your Mind." Those are just some of the hits by the group En Vogue, which included singer Dawn Robinson. So, it would be easy to think that she's financially well-off, or at the very least is able to pay her bills.

But that's not the case, because Robinson revealed this week that she's been living in her vehicle for quite some time. "You guys, for the past three — almost three years — I have been living in my car," she said on her YouTube channel.

The singer further explained that in 2020 she moved into her parents' house in Las Vegas but was mistreated by her mother. Robinson said that her mom's anger toward her was so severe that she decided to leave. Then after living in her car for one month, her co-manager said she could stay with him in Los Angeles, but she later found out that he didn’t have a room for her.

So, eventually, the co-manager paid for her to stay in a hotel, which was supposed to be for one night, but it turned out to be for eight months.

The co-manager then offered to pay for Robinson to live in an apartment, but he never followed through. The 58-year-old believes he was trying to keep her in a vulnerable position and was "playing games."

From there, Robinson — who was also in the group Lucy Pearl — said she drove to Malibu and started living in her vehicle.

"This is not like, 'Oh my God, poor Dawn, she's living in her car and it's terrible," she explained. "I'm learning about who I am. I'm learning myself as a person, as a woman ... If you would have said to me while I was in En Vogue, 'You're going to be living in your car one day,' I would be like, 'Huh? No, I'm always going to have an apartment; I can't live in my car.'"

Slim Thug reacted to the news by talking about the importance of artists owning their master recordings.

"Never should she do that. Look at the hits she made," said Thug. "Off them hits, she should still be getting enough money to pay some rent around this b---h. I get a monthly check every month. If them people owned their s--t, they would be able to pay for something with their check."
