Jermaine Dupri Questions Why Dawn Robinson Has An Assistant

Jermaine Dupri has some questions.

The So So Def founder is wondering why Dawn Robinson has a personal assistant.

Taking to Instagram Live with Chad “Dr Ceuss” Elliott, Dupri shared how he was puzzled that the former En Vogue singer required an assistant although she’s been living in her car.

“Having an assistant is not something you should even think about if you don’t have no money,” Dupri said on Wednesday (March 12). “I’m bringing this up because Dawn, when she was telling the story…about her living in her car for the last three years, she said, ‘I was telling my assistant,’ and when she said that, I said, ‘Oh sh*t, wait a minute’…it changed my whole vibe of what I was watching. Because, ain’t no goddamn way she got an assistant and she ain’t got no money. Ain’t no way!”

“I’m just trying to make sure people are paying attention to the whole scope of this story…she got an assistant? I don’t know if she broke. She might not have all the money that she wants in the world, but she’s definitely not broke, saying she got an assistant,” he added.

Dupri also pointed out Robinson decided to live in her car after researching communities where people live in their vehicles.

“It was her choice to live in her car,” he shared. “I saw somebody send a message that said, ‘Jermaine, Monica, all of y’all, can y’all put some money together to help Dawn out?’ From my understanding…she was basically saying that she saw other people living in their vans, living in RVs, and she welcomed the idea of doing this.”

Robinson, a founding member of the iconic R&B groups En Vogue and Lucy Pearl, recently disclosed that she has been living in her car for the past three years.

“I’ve been living in my car for three years now. It’s been a challenging journey, but I’ve learned a lot about myself,” Robinson said.

“People see the fame and assume everything is perfect,” she added. “But behind the scenes, there are struggles that many aren’t aware of.”
