Real Music People

Tionne Watkins, aka T-Boz from TLC, revealed to People magazine that she has secretly battled a brain tumor for 3 years. Back in 2006, the singer underwent a 7 hour surgery where the doctor peeled the tumour from the brain stem by making a cut behind her ear. When asked why the hip hop star decided to keep it a secret even while she participated on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ she said “I didn’t want pity – I was there to help sick children. I’m still here. It will take way more to stop me.” I’m amazed at the spirit that she has inside her.
