OMG!!!!!!!!!! No way!
I remember her brilliant single Nasty Girls (featured in Beverly Hills Cop) and her role in the now-cult film The Last Dragon!

Sad!!
She had her demons with drugs back in the day, dated Prince but found god and turned it around.

RIP Vanity 6!

I remember vanity 6.sad news she was a beautiful woman in her younger days.she really hadnt been well for a long time some twenty years since a drug overdose in 1994.it seems from an article I read before she was being treated at a charity hospital and im thinking couldnt her former friend and lover the rather wealthy prince have helped her out financially .old times sake etc.anyway its sad to see someone pass at such a relatively young age.RIP .

Me too. In fact I've been singing it to myself for a couple of days rather bizarrely.

RIP.

she was a really nice and kind person. she gave me her mobile number and told me to call her anytime. she was really deep into religion and turned her back on her old career which was a shame as she wouldn't be the person she was if it wasn't for the things she turned back on and I told her not to look negatively on that. I was only thinking about her last night when I saw a message from her in my phone

she was trying to raise money to cover medical bills by selling stuff off. apparently she only raised $7k when she needed $50k. it's a shame some of her wealthier friends couldn't have helped her out more. the health care system in America is a mess
