Fantasia Barrino's brother ran into some bad luck recently, when he was robbed at gunpoint. The singer's little bro Teeny, who appeared on her reality show Fantasia For Real, managed to escape the incident unharmed, but seems to have lost some valuable possessions.

"Someone tried to hurt my brother last night," Fantasia wrote via her Instagram account. "They robbed him and held him at gunpoint. God had to be watching over him. Grace and mercy."

She later tweeted words of encouragement to her brother, saying "Teeny I love you! You're still here bro! That other stuff can be replaced!" Fantasia also gave a warning to those who robbed her brother, "those who did this will get what's coming to you."

Thankfully Teeny seems safe and sound!
