I know Toni Braxton sang the Unbreak My Heart song, but right now, she needs to unbreak the American economy. $50, 000, 000 in debt?!?!?!?!?! That’s 7, 612, 500, 000. 00 in naira! If you’re having half a hard time like I was deciphering the figure, that’s over seven (7) billion naira … in debt! So this is where the American so-called debt went to, huh?
Toni Braxton is worth about $10 million. And she’s up to $50 million in debt to 422 creditors (that’s right, 422!). What has fine Ms. Thang been buying? Oh, you know, the usual. A mansion for $2, 000, 000. A Range Rover for $80, 000 (this one I can totally dig!). A Cartier Tank American watch for $33, 000 (Get the hell out of here! What time is it telling? Jesus’s second coming?). Christian Louboutin boots for almost $2, 000. And much more.
Oh, but no worries. She has fixed it. She has filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy protection (her second one, by the way. She had one in 1998). Her attorney says that Toni’s heart disease has rendered her incapable of working and paying off her debts, so filing for bankruptcy is the best way to erase debt. Smart. Blame it on the heart disease.
I love you, Toni Braxton, but this is some jacked up mess. You and your lawyer know that debt does not get erased – especially in America. Other people just end up paying for it. Broke as I am right now, I am hurt that someone else gets to be $50, 000, 000 in the hole — with no tangible consequences.
On another note, did you know that she has also separated from her husband, music producer, Keri Lewis? You did? Well, good for you. I did not know. I may be pissed at her debt, but Toni Braxton is a babe. A very fine babe at that.

Elevates the term onigbese to a whole new level.

'What time is it telling? Jesus second coming?' lol. Vera you are mad!
Ms Braxton should be spanked 50 million times for that amount of debt. Then we can take bets as to whether the cane or the heart disease would get her first!
Afrigenic says
Na correct onigbese be this…
LMAO @ 'What time is it telling? Jesus second coming?'
Remi, United Kingdom says
Wow.. was that 50 million I saw? wonderful! I wonder if the banks would let a non-celebrity file for such without paying… sigh. God is looking oh! okay nah!
How are you Vera, It's been a minute oh. 🙂 x
2cute4u says
Are you serious?!
I didn't know o..
Well lets just keep watching..
Thanks for the info.
jobsfornaija.com says

shorty says
Hmmn nawa oo, this is really sad.
LusciousRon says

A Cartier Tank American watch for $33, 000 (Get the hell out of here! What time is it telling? Jesus's second coming?).
That got me cracking up so hard! lol. Onigbese oshi, she berra go and find something else to sing.
Vera Ezimora says
Myne Whitman: Nne, I don't know oh. I doubt they'll ever learn. They gat it like that!
Bagucci: Tell me abourrit. They do play by entirely different rules — and it is so not fair!
MBLS: Sad is an understatement. You cannot help but wonder what she was doing when she got $50 mil in the hole.
JustJoxy: LOL! I know, right??? Serious onigbese oh! Imagine the likeness…!
Anonymous: LOL @ spanking her 50 million times. That wouldn't be a bad idea @ all. $50 is a lot of money! 422 creditors?!?! How the heck did that happen? Per the time comment, my dear, I could not help it.
Afrigenic: Tehehe. I guess I was in "the zone" when I wrote that. The thing was really paining me oh!
Remi, United Kingdom: Yes, my dear, you saw 50 million — not thousand oh. Imagine the likeness. Some countries don't even have that much money. lol. Per the bank, I doubt they'll let that happen :HISS: In fact, they won't even let you get that much in the hole. You wan steal am?
2Cute4U: Any time, love! That's what I'm here for (providing you with information). LOL.
JobsForNaija.com: I have no idea. I'd love to find out for sure cause that's a lotta money!
Shorty: Yes, it is.
Luscious Ron: No be small matter at all oh. And I don't think her last album sold as well as her previous ones sef.
Omotee: Tehehe. Well, my dear, unless it's telling Jesus's second coming, there's no reason why an ordinary time-telling watch should cost $33,000 — especially when you cannot afford it!
Ijeoma, OgUd says
Um, so when she got to 10 million, what did she say to herself? " I owe what?! Dang, need to get me a Cartier watch, that should make me see and feel better. Where's my crate of Champagne at?" Olodo, onigbese woman. Vera, big lol at Jesus second coming comment. You get bad mouth.
LucidLilith says
I understand making a mistake the first time and filing for bankruptcy. it happens.
But I don't understand NOT living within your means after learning one is sick. Cases like these make it hard for anyone to feel genuinely sorry for people who fall on hard times.
NoLimit says
Vera men, you cracked me up,but it is so unfair!:(…they should include public flogging with this bankruptcy claim jor! mschew…but she fine now be small!
As she said..let it flow!lol

histreasure says
7 billion naira -in debts!!! and i'm sure she's still buying more and the creditors sef, don't they check for credit-worthiness abi because she's a star?
they definitely play by a different set of rules..
Vera Ezimora says
Ijeoma: The thing is crazy oh! So annoying!!! Some of us are struggling to save hundreds and thousands, she, on the other hand, has been fortunate enough to have millions, and yet, that's not enough for her? :HISS:
Lucid: The amount is so outrageous that you cannot help but wonder what she was doing while her debt was increasing … millions! The lawyer is just trying to use her illness to buy sympathy.
No Limit: Walahi. No be small public flogging oh! By the times she's been flogged a hundred thousand times (which doesn't even compare to her debt), she'll know better next time.
Kris: Out of the circuit, huh? Where you been? Thanks for stopping by anyway 🙂
His Treasure: Yes oh! Very different set of rules… cause I don't see how a regular person can get into such debt. Who would even lend to him/her?
Azuka says
I'm scared of some people's tastes?
bob-ij says
lol!You won't kill me oh! Lol @ the watch though. everything else I can try to understand!
And Toni is my babe! Oh well. it is what it is!
