T-Boz told Essence Magazine: "I'm not homeless. During my last marriage [to Mack 10], I had a bunch of things that were put in my name.

All I know is that the house I live in with my daughter is not [in foreclosure]. When you pull up my name, my real house doesn't show up because it's not in my real name, because I enjoy my privacy and I'm not trying to have people be able to find me that easily."
