Toni Braxton suffers from Lupus, an autoimmune disease that also killed her uncle. She went public with her condition in 2010, two years after being hospitalized for "an undisclosed illness".

Toni Braxton told TMZ, "I wanted to clear the record before rumors started, and will totally be fine as I'm blessed to having an amazing family for support."
