Kelly Rowland Says She Almost Lost Everything Trying To Live Lavishly

Kelly Rowland Reveals Her Financial Position Changed When She Started Giving Out

Kelly Rowland recently talked about her past struggles with money for the very first time, explaining how she “almost lost everything” while trying to keep up with the lavish lifestyle that everyone around her had.

The former Destiny Child star opened up on this dark time when she was “rich broke” with pastor Erwin McManus in a new interview. When Erwin asked her where she got her generosity from, she replied: “I watched my mom be a generous person.”

“I watched her give her very last. I watched her give with faith, and I would be thinking ‘Where am I gonna eat? Even going through my own time where there was a lot of–no one will believe this and it’ll actually be the first time I talk about it–where I almost lost everything because I was so busy trying to keep up,” Kelly added.

“Whether it was the look, whether it was the wardrobe, whether it was the car, whether it was the place, whether it was the–you know what I mean? All that silliness,” she said as reported by HNHH.

“You were rich-broke,” Erwin noted, which made Kelly laugh. “Rich broke!” she exclaimed. “Rich broke.” Kelly then recalled her best friend telling her that despite her money problems, she still needed to give to others. By the following week, “things just started to happen. Good things.” From that point on, she understood the importance of generosity.
