By social media Dawn revealed that she’s been living in her car for the last three years. In a recent post, Robinson explained that after a tension rose with her mother while living in Las Vegas, which started out as a temporary situation had to come to an end. Dawn explained the most respectful thing she could do was to move from her parents house. She found herself without stable housing, prompting her to move back out to California by way of her then manager whom promised to help support her while gearing back up in the music industry. That situation soon lead into her sleeping in her vehicle as a temporary solution.
While Robinson’s life in the music industry once brought her fame and fortune, the reality of financial instability and personal challenges has raised questions. As her situation becomes more aware to fans, many are left wondering about the whereabouts of her royalties, especially after her public comments about living in her car. Critics have pointed out that, despite her success with En Vogue, no artist should be struggling to make ends meet after the type of R&B success Dawn was apart of.
In a turn of events, Robinson’s ex-husband, who has been open about his own journey of transformation, recently offered her a job in hospitality, hoping she would accept the opportunity to work for Hilton Hotels. He shared that leaving the music industry and focusing on a new path has been life-changing for him, leading to financial success, spiritual growth, and a new fiancé. With over $600 in sales from his current role, he believes that the stability and success he’s found could be beneficial to Robinson as well, urging her to take him up on his offer.
