  Lisa Lopes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lopes was also a self-taught keyboardist and, by way of a Beethoven piano piece, displayed those talents during her solo spot on TLC's headlining concert performances (immortalized in a pay-per-view broadcast of TLC's FanMail tour in the spring of 2000).
Lopes then severed her solo deal with Arista (she remained contracted with the label as a member of TLC) and signed with Tha Row Records (the former Death Row label), intending to record a second solo album under the pseudonym N.I.N.A (New Identity Not Applicable).
Lopes, who was sentenced to 5 years probation and therapy at a halfway house, never was able to shake that incident from her reputation, and along with Lil' Kim, became one of hip hop music's bad girls.
