Dee Barnes became the first female hip-hop reporter to host a broadcast TV show in 1989. Now, she’s homeless.

The pioneering reporter and former rapper launched a GoFundMe campaign this month asking fans to help with her housing situation. She had raised over $3,000 of her $5,000 goal by Tuesday.

“Right now, I am officially homeless. My goal with the campaign is to regain stability, which is imperative for survivors of any trauma,” she told the website HipHopDX in an interview this week.

Barnes explained she decided to reach out for help because of the quote: “You can overcome anything in life, but you must first be willing to live in your truth.”

“I realized that I had come too far and had been through too much to just give up without trying,” she said.

Starting in 1989, Barnes was busy interviewing stars like Ice Cube, Ice-T, Will Smith and Queen Latifah on her Fox show “Pump It Up!”

But her career came to a screeching halt in 1991, when rap icon Dr. Dre attacked her during a Hollywood record release party over a segment about N.W.A that would be appearing on her show.

He slammed “her face and the right side of her body repeatedly against a wall,” according to a statement released at the time.

Dre, real name Andre Young, was charged with assault and battery, for which he pleaded no contest.

He was fined $2,500 and sentenced to two years probation and community service. She also filed a $22 million lawsuit against Dre, which was settled out of court in 1993.

Barnes told the website she remembers checks pouring in from fans trying to help with her legal fees in 1991.

“I never cashed any of them — not one — but knowing I had that support kept me strong enough to continue to face each court date,” she said.

Barnes said she continues to have migraines from the assault. She also said she felt blackballed by the industry she’d been a groundbreaking part of.

“Survivors should be able to hold people in positions of power accountable for their actions without losing their own power. Times up,” she said.
