3. Brenda Fassie
Afropop singer from South Africa who was crowned The Queen Of African Pop. She passed away in 2004. She had a son, Bongani, who claimed to have inherited a large sum of money from his mother but appears to be in financial difficulty. Brenda was a drug addict, which explains why she died broke and poor. Her family paid out all of the money she earned during her career after a lengthy legal battle.
