News <p>T-Boz has filed for bankruptcy. Guess this gives new meaning to "What About Your Friends."<br />
<br />
According to TMZ, the "Ain't 2 Proud To Beg" singer owes creditors $768,642.99, which mostly comes from the mortgage on her $1.2 million house. <br />
<br />
Court papers filed last month state T-Boz, aka Tionne Watkins, only brings in about $11 grand a month, but has almost $9,000 in expenses.<br />
<br />
When you add in that she was secretly fighting a brain tumor for three years, it's easy to see why she's having a hard time. <br />
