Not a scumbag! Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, along with her former TLC bandmates, is one of the voices behind some of R&B’s hottest songs. The Atlanta native tried out a solo music career and reality TV, which helped her make a lot of money. Read on to find out how much the singer who has won many awards is worth.
Rozonda Thomas: Career Details
Thomas started out as a dancer and often worked with the R&B band Damian Dame in their music videos and live shows. In 1991, she got the chance to join TLC, taking the place of Crystal Jones. Jones left the group, even though she was a founding member along with Lisa Lopes and Tionne Watkins because she was not allowed to take her contract home to have it looked over by experts. When Rozonda Thomas replaced Crystal, she was given the nickname “Chilli” right away so that the group could still be called “TLC.”
TLC sold a huge number of records over the next few years. After putting out albums in 1992, 1994, and 1999, the group sold almost as many records as the Spice Girls. Critics also liked TLC, and Rozonda won four Grammys for the work she did during this time.
Rozonda Thomas started working on a solo album in 2000, but it was never finished. She did, however, come out with singles like “Dumb, Dumb, Dumb” and “Body.” She didn’t make a solo studio album because she was too busy with TLC. TLC broke up after Lisa Lopez, one of the group’s founders, died in a terrible accident in 2002. Over the next few years, Thomas and Watkins sometimes played together. In 2019, Thomas lost her voice, and doctors told her she shouldn’t sing.

Did Rozonda ‘Chilli’ Thomas Have Her Own TV Show?
Chilli was the star of the reality show What Chilli Wanted in 2010. After she broke up with Usher in 2003, the singer of “Red Light Special” looked for love for two years. In a 2020 interview with Essence, she called Usher her “real love.”
The couple used to be together, but they broke up in 2003 because there were rumors that the “Confessions” singer was cheating on her. But Chilli has never confirmed the cheating claims, and she has only said nice things about her ex.

In 1996, Rozonda paid $67,000 for a piece of land in Stone Mountain, Georgia, that hadn’t been built on yet. She then built a 5-bedroom, 5-and-a-half-bath mansion that was 5,800 square feet. Similar houses in the area sell for between $1.5 and $2 million today.
