Former En Vogue and Lucy Pearl singer Dawn Robinson went viral on Wednesday after revealing that she’s been homeless for 3 years.
The singer took to social media to share a video of her revealing that she’s been living out of her car, showering at her gym, and barely making ends meet the last few years.
Following the news going viral, Dawn’s ex-husband Andre Allen is offering her a job in the hospitality industry working at the Hilton Brand with him.
The two were married from 2003 to 2010, and while their union ended on bad terms, he chatted with TMZ revealing he doesn’t want to see her crash out, and thinks she’d be a perfect fit at the Hilton brand.
Andre says he orchestrated Dawn’s short-lived reunion with En Vogue before things shuttered for good, but he tells us leaving the music industry actually saved his life, and finances.
He says he’s found God, a new fiancée and now makes more money than he ever did in the music industry … even after earning 2 Grammy Awards, several Gold albums, and his royalties as a solo artist and member of R&B group IV Xample.
Andre claims he’s loaned dozens of notable music industry friends money and saw dozens of others die in poverty … and doesn’t want Dawn to share the same fate.
Dre feels Dawn can use her charisma and personality built up by the music industry to make real money in his field to influence people with sales … entertainment isn’t going to pay her what she’s worth.
Dawn can still keep tabs with old industry pals and record and tour her music … Andre says her Hilton position will offer her free medical from day one and she’ll earn PTO to juggle her career.
Andre says he floated this offer to Dawn before her homeless situation jumped off … hopefully she’s willing to humble herself and accept the opportunity!!!
The news of Dawn’s current situation comes just weeks after her former group mates welcomed back fellow founding member, Maxine Jones, who joined the group for the 2025 NBA All Star Game Halftime performance.
