Rozonda Thomas (born February 27, 1971), also known as Chilli, is an American singer-songwriter, singer, actress, television personality, and model who rose to fame in the early 1990s as a member of group TLC, one of the twentieth century's best-selling girl groups.
Early life
Thomas was born in Columbus, Georgia, and graduated from Benjamin Elijah Mays High School in 1989. Abdul Ali's father, who is of Bangladeshi and Arab origins, is a Muslim woman, and her mother, Ava Thomas, is an African American. Thomas, who had been raised by her mother, later allowed Sally Jessy Raphael's television talk show to air a video of her father meeting his father for the first time in 1996, when she was 25 years old.
When she was a child, her maternal grandmother, whom she referred to as Big Mama, took her to the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Personal life
Thomas became pregnant by producer Dallas Austin at the age of 20, but the pregnancy was premature due to her work aspirations and the outside forces. She later admitted that she regretted the decision. Thomas and Austin continued their friendship, and Tron Austin would later have one son, Tron Austin, (born June 2, 1997). Since appearing in his music videos for "U Remind Me," "U Got It Bad," and "U Don't Have to Call," Thomas began dating Usher in 2001. They were together for two years, but they broke up in December 2003 and there was a media frenzy surrounding Usher's fourth album, Confessions. He and Thomas' dissolution was due to infidelity on his part, according to his followers, who gave allusions to the songs' lyrics. In an interview with Thomas on The Bert Show on Atlanta's local radio channel Q100 on February 17, 2004, Thomas said that Ushercheated on her: "Usher did the ultimate no-no to me": "I will never be with him again." "It just didn't work out," Usher defended: "It just didn't work out." However, cheating was not what caused the relationship to collide and crash. That ain't what broke it up."
Music career
Thomas was first a dancer for Damian Dame. In 1991, she joined TLC, replacing founding member Crystal Jones, and was nicknamed "Chilli" by Lisa Lopes so that the group could retain the name TLC. The group went on to sell over 65 million records worldwide and became the best-selling American girl group of all-time; only the Spice Girls has sold more. Chilli has won four Grammy Awards for her work with TLC.
Since the death of group member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes in April 2002, Thomas and Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins have occasionally performed as a duo. In 2009, Thomas and Watkins performed a series of concerts in Asia.
In late 2011, VH1 announced plans to produce a biopic on TLC to air in 2013. Thomas and Watkins signed on as producers. Actress and singer Keke Palmer portrayed Thomas in CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story.
In 2019, Thomas lost her voice and was ordered by doctors not to sing. TLC then had to cancel their singing for the California State Fair and the Stanislaus State Fair.
Thomas began working on her solo album in 2000 after the completion of promotion for TLC's third album, FanMail (1999). She ceased production when work began on the next TLC album, 3D (2002). In 2006, rumors circulated that she had signed a four-album deal with singer/rapper Akon's label Kon Live Distribution. She later denied these reports and confirmed that she was entertaining offers from other record labels. It was confirmed that the name of the album would be titled Bi-Polar, but due to scheduling conflicts and constant delays, the album was shelved. The album was once rumored to include work by Missy Elliott as well as tracks produced by T-Pain and Tricky Stewart. Certain tracks that were intended for the album were leaked from 2006 to 2008. A track titled "Gameproof", which featured her TLC bandmate T-Boz, was leaked in spring 2006. On February 16, 2007, "Straight Jack", a track featuring Missy Elliott and produced by Polow da Don was leaked. The track entered the Deutsche Black Chart in at #35. In early April 2008, Thomas's first official solo single, "Dumb, Dumb, Dumb" was released.
In 2012, Thomas appeared as the leading lady in R&B singer Tyrese's music video for his single "Nothing On You."
In January 2016, she released a new solo single, "Body", which served to promote her new fitness workout campaign.
