Former En Vogue member Dawn Robinson is setting the record straight about recent headlines claiming she is homeless. After revealing that she has been living in her car for the past three years, Robinson issued an official statement emphasizing that her situation is a personal choice and not one of desperation, PEOPLE reports.
Dawn Robinson Speaks on Her Journey
“Sometimes in life, we end up in situations that we weren’t expecting. There’s something we need to learn or teach, but we’re too afraid to push ourselves out of our comfort zones to do it—so the universe does it for us!” Robinson explained. “During this growth period, we either learn to trust ourselves or give in to fear and fail.”
The singer then firmly denied that she is homeless, explaining that her current living situation is a deliberate choice.
“I want to make it clear: I am not homeless. I am temporarily choosing car life as part of my journey of healing and self-discovery,” she stated.
Embracing an Alternative Lifestyle
Robinson elaborated on her decision, revealing that this lifestyle shift has been an adventure filled with highs and lows.
“I took a risk and jumped headfirst into this lifestyle, and WOW, what a crazy, fun, sometimes scary ride it’s been,” she continued. “For me, failure is NOT an option. Being vulnerable sucks, but here I GROW. This is about embracing freedom, trusting the process, and finding strength in the unexpected.”
Warning Against Fraudulent Fundraisers
The singer also took the opportunity to warn fans about unauthorized fundraising campaigns falsely claiming to support her.
“I’ve been made aware that some individuals may be requesting funds on my behalf through platforms like Cash App, GoFundMe, or other means,” Robinson said. “I want to be clear: I have not authorized any fundraising campaigns, and I do not want anyone—especially my loyal fans—to be scammed or taken advantage of.”
How Dawn Robinson Ended Up Living in Her Car
Robinson first shocked fans in March 2024 when she revealed her unconventional lifestyle choice. She explained that after living with her parents in Las Vegas in 2020, she relocated to Los Angeles to stay with her former manager. When that arrangement fell through, she spent eight months in a hotel before ultimately deciding to live in her car. The decision came after she discovered a community of people embracing the alternative lifestyle, which inspired her to take on the experience herself.
While some fans remain concerned, Robinson’s statement underscores that she is on a personal journey of growth rather than struggling with homelessness. Her resilience and outlook on life continue to inspire those who have followed her career and personal evolution.
