: MediaTakeOut.com just got some startling news. In a recent interview with Sister Sister magazine, Fantasai Barrino revealed that she nearly lost her voice to a throat tumor. Fantasia claims that the tumor, which was non-cancerous, first developed during her time on the Broadway play The Color Purple.
Here's how Fantasia describes the tumor caused her to miss performances:
The tumor that was on my throat would make me very tired ... I kept telling them that I'm getting very tired. It was like I couldn't get enough sleep. And sometimes onstage, I could taste blood.I had braces on, so [I thought] maybe I'm biting my lip or I'm biting something in my gums or something. But I would taste blood every now and then.
And here's what happened when she got it removed:
I had to have a surgery. I had a tumor--he said it was a cyst, and before I went under the knife, he came out and told my mother--he said, "The joker was bigger than I thought it was ... ."But good news guys, Fantasia claims that she's completely recovered from the situation. Hopefully we'll be hearing her sing again soon.

sexy41 you are so fowl, the way you type you may been cutting school right along with her. If the body part you use to make money suddenly broke or you had a cyst,you would want prayer not someone preying on you. Wait until its you you'll think differently. Remember ugly is as ugly does, you emphasize someone being ugly when there's something ugly in you.
Love Fantasia, yeah i heard about this on her website a few months ago. Doing The Color Purple took its toll on her voice as she said in Sister 2 Sister she had to age from 14 to late 30's and her voice went according. She also said while she was on stage sometimes she would taste blood in ther mouth. At first she thought her braces that she wears was cutting her but after doing the Clive Davis grammy party she went to a doctor out in Ca. and he discovered the cyst which turned out the be a tumor. And thats the reason why she was so tired..but one thing about it Young Dro and her mother were right by her side during that scary time
FOR YOUR INFO THE TWO FINGERS REPRESENT SHE AND HER DAUGHTER ALWAYS TOGETHER.(SHE WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO EXPLAIN THAT SOME DAY.)
FANTASIA'S DAUGHTER HAS A VERY RIGHT FUTURE AHEAD OF HER. SHE HAS BEEN WORKING SOMEPLACE EACH MONTH SINCE LEAVING NY,CHECK OUT HER MESSAGE BOARD, SHE ONLY TOOK A TWO WEEK REST FROM TUMOR...THOSE WHO DO NOT GOT TO HER MESSAGE BOARD ARE NOT AWARE.

I'm getting the distinct impression that there are a bunch of ignorant,immoral,plagerizing fools working within this damned site. PATHETIC!!!!!
Hmmmm....I was gonna read,blog and keep it moving but a few folks caught my attention..*sigh* @blackbarbi well put and you let her know that her nail ARE TACKY oh so eloquently. @misscs you got a lotta nerve questioning fantasias sanity and talkin about how she comes out of the house looking when you have the audacity to display a photo on here looking like a super size ommpaloompa with part of that dry azz weave covering up the eye jammy yo baby daddy gave you. and are those fake nails i see? can you tell us why a the fakery in your appearance big nasty? @(un)sexy41 FIRST of all guttersnipe,you give me the impression of an extremely immature,illiterate,jelouse,spiteful *** bytch. here you are a grown azz woman talkin about how ugly YOU feel Fantasia is and how she and her man was booted from somewhere as if you've even came outside lately.bytch you ain't fooling me,I can tell you ain't used to nothing and you ain't doing nothing. talking about"look who she's messing wit now"as if she stole yo man.looka here trick,young Dro made his choice,get over it tramp.and by the way if you were lucky enough to come out of the hell you live in and go to a baseball game I am absolutely sure you were NOWHERE NEAR the sky box ya lying wench. You keep callin FANTASIA ugly when in fact she's not. WHERE EVER she live she worked hard and made it higher and you seem real DISTURBED about it.umph,umph,umph!!but if you're so much better..whats your excuse for STILL living like you do and being this ignorant?where your man at?you mean to tell me your man ain't trying to get to out of the muck and mire you live in? now das f^cked uuuuup! and do you really believe FANTASIA gives a federal F^CK whether you like her or not?has she reached back into the gutter to help you out?NO!!and why should she? you call FANTASIA bald headed but EVERY TIME I've seen sistahgirl her hair is tight and her she's dressed well.She's talented and carries herself well .re you jelouse?well it seems that way. And one more thing and this is why I know you must be really busted,raggedy,chapped and hit you had the nerve to say you wear your weaves better..........WHY ARE YOU NEEDING A WEAVE?

YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ME THOUGH CLONE. AND MY FINAL THOUGHT IS THIS,AT LEAST FANTASIA KEEPS HER APPEARANCE UP,TAKES CARE OF HER FAMILY ,FOUND A GOOD MAN AND IS PURSUING HER DREAMS.OH AND SHE HAS god ON HER SIDE.

SO LONG YOU UGLYYYYYY ASSSSSED BEEEEEEEAAAAATCH. YOU WISH YOU WERE PRETTY LIKE ME.
@SEXY41 Anybody who is constantly calling themselves pretty and bragging on themselves instead of letting others compliment them is INSECURE due to really being ugly. A pretty person never goes around calling themselves pretty and bragging on themselves because a pretty person hears it enough from others and doesn't have to talk about themselves. *** the F@CK UP and stop being stuck on yourself. You are probably looking like an inside out coochie
TO MUSIC 999, HERE I GO AGAIN HAVING TO EXPALAIN MYSELF TO ALL YOU UGLY ASSSSSSEEED BEAAAAAATCHES THAT SHES UGLY AS HELL. SHE AINT NO BEYONCE OR MARIAH, LOOKING LIKE THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON.

YOU AND THE REST OF THE UGLY PEOPLE PUT A HURTIN ON MY EYES. Y'ALL HATE US ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE. JUST ADMIT IT
I see the Fantasia hating has began (smh)
What maybe considered ugly to some, may be considered beautiful to other. Fantasia is beautiful inside and out. Unfortunately the music industry has convinced some of you that looks is what counts, but the voice is what really counts and the girl is in a league of her own when it comes to that.
@sexy41 First of all Fantasia is covered, protected by the blood of Jesus. Now where you come from and undoubtedly from your words this does not mean much to you or your world, but it okayy..WE BELIEVE!!!!!
To those of you whosay here career is over and wonder where she has been my question to you is where have you been? She has worked all summer since completing a successful run on Broadsway check out Fan-tasia.net and see for yourselves. She has been busy and has been back and forth to LA several times as well. Let me add this the inside word from the industry in regards to producers Fantasia is called the one take wonder, this is rare and valuable commodity in the industry, you see some one like Fantasia can do movie soundtracks etc and save money..she can just sing and the producers can work the trac with out much labor, so this said she will be around for a while and many love to work with her. She has a lot of work recorded and she loves the studio she loves what she does and that means a lot..so hate on. God bless everyone but remeber it is not over for anyone until God says its over.
God bless you sexy41
Peace and blessings to everyone else and may each of you enjoy the success and blessings Fantasia has recieved of the Lord.
The last time I spoke with her she did say yo all have been a blessing to her,you have made her strong and full of confidence and not afraid of anything. She says you have to be tough in this industry and you can't wait for people to stroke you and those same people who always have good things to say time you mess up they will turn on you so she is use to your negativity but she says my haters don't live with me and as long as I have my family and little girl behind and with Gods help and love for me I can make it!!!
I thinks she has stopped reading these blogs. She said bad karma and creative people can't feed on this.
TOSANON21 I DO GET COMPLIMENT ON MY LOOKS JUST ASK YO DADDY. I WASNT EVEN TALKING TO YO DIRT ASSSS BEEEEEAAAATCH. SO MIND YO *** PHHHHHKKKKKINNN BIZ HO!!!

DIDNT GOD SAY LOVE THY NEIGHBOR?YOURE NOT SHOWING ME ANY NEIGHBORLY LOVE. IM GOING TO ONE UP YOU, GOD SAYS TO LOVE YOUR ENEMIES LIKE YOU LOVE YOURSELF. I LOVE YOU MY ENEMY. LOL
@SEXY41 do not go there about parents. Yours must have been kin to each other because you are one stupid *** B*TCH. If you are so pretty you wouldn't have to brag and compliment yourself. That is for others to do. Enough of this I am being ignorant by answering you. You are INSECURE that's why you boast on yourself so much. Fantasia is Fantasia, cute, ugly or whatever.
@sexy41 Would you and anyone else please read my comments but I have not daid one derogatory thing about you. Not one word. My comments have been in regards to Fantasia. Nothing about you or even to you r personally simply commenting on the bolog. Only a real christian would respond in the way I have. As i stated previously God bless each of youa *** and mya you all enjoy, the peace love and blessings Fantasia is experiencing.
PEACE!!!! all is extremely well with Fantasia.
@*** there was a creative reason for the red hair, not my plac to tell what the reason was but it was announced last year when she was doing the play.
Sexy41---I SURELY HOPE that the number behind your name isn't your age, and you need(ed) to stay in school typing like that.
Miss Cs---If you want to know what ghetto and tacky is, look no further than your picture. From those cromagnum ghetto bird nails I see all the ghetto chicks wear, to your nasty looking hair that looks like it hasn't been washed in a month (and is probably loaded with grease) and that *** that looks like you had to cut the back open to get it on. I bet you don't even have a full picture with that *** on. just sat your a** down and fixed it to make it look like it actually fits.
