Toni Braxton has been hospitalized because of health issues related to Lupus, the singer Tweeted on Friday.
"Hey guys, I'm in the hospital for health issues related to Lupus & Blood clots, I will be home soon...Thanks for all the love&support! Xoxo," Braxton wrote, trying to sound as upbeat as possible.
The R&B singer, who also appears on Braxton Family Values, revealed two years ago that she has Lupus, a potentially lethal autoimmune disease that killed her uncle.

Braxton has been under serious financial stress for the last several years, a result she says was initially because of her spending habits but more recently because of her limited ability to perform and make a living.
She filed for bankruptcy in 1998, recovered financially but then fell back into debt and lost her home in Georgia in 2010.
