The Un-Break My Heart hit-maker revealed two years ago she has Lupus, a potentially deadly autoimmune disease.
Braxton’s brother also suffers from Lupus, and her uncle died from complications related to the illness.

Braxton said in a recent 20/20 interview that doctors told her the Lupus diagnosis meant her performing career would likely be diminished and the disease helped push her into a recent bankruptcy.
Two months ago Braxton was accused of fraudulently wiring a significant sum of money to her estranged husband singer Keri Lewis, according to the trustee of her bankruptcy estate.  
She originally filed for bankruptcy in 2008 and then again in 2010.
