TLC Responds To Kickstarter Backlash, Blames On Race For 'Embarrassing' Attacks Via Instagram

Girl group, TLC finally address fans after "TLCGoingToJailParty started trending earlier this week when fans demanded that they get their money back from a Kickstarter donation to help fund their next album.

T-Boz and Chilli spoke to "The Rickey Smiley Morning Show" about their recent social media drag and claims that they have been sending emails and updates on their album projects

 "This is the thing, if people would do their research." T-Boz said. "Everybody who donated, we've sent emails weekly. On top of that, we did a press release. The problem with people...I refuse to address ignorance because there's a lot of followers out there and they just hear one comment and they just jump on the bandwagon and don't do their research." 

She admitted that she was disappointed in African Americans for being the main attackers, "At the end of the day that's what I find really disappointing. Especially with our people. It's mostly our people doing it and you don't ever see other races on the internet dogging other people out the way black people do each other. It's embarrassing and it's unfortunate to me. That, more so than you trying to assassinate my character."

The ladies received $430,255 and told fans in September that the project was expected to be released in 2016.

It reads:

Hey TLC fans!

After seeing and greeting so many of you on our tour this summer, we took a short break and now we are in the studio recording our new album with Ron Fair, coming out in 2016. The music is coming out great and it's only with your support of TLC on Kickstarter that this is possible. We thank you and promise that we will continue rolling out all the Kickstarter prizes expect the album by mid-October. We are moving the album back to 2016, so that we will have more time to finish the record the TLC way. Thanks as always for your love and support and we can't wait to deliver a new record and tour next year.
