Fantasia has moved from the small town of North North Carolina and is home 6,600 square feet in the suburbs. But things suddenly got worse when he was involved with a married man. Press badly leads to a large counter-attack from fans and critics that lead to bad album sales and loss of reputation. He was also served with 

several lawsuits from his father and brother. His finances directed him to lose his house and filed bankruptcy. It will be many years before he will regain the confidence to make him return to the stage to do his new single at the American Idol.
