Chase Anela Rolison is only one of T-Boz's children, and the 20-something-year-old is making big moves as an entrepreneur. Her parents were pioneers of the R&B and Hip-Hop industry; however, she has ventured into beauty.
In October 2022, TLC's Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins posted a photo of a young woman donning a dark gray full-bodysuit paired with black peek-toe heels and minimal jewelry. She posed with her eyes closed and legs crossed, holding two two-shaped helium balloons in each hand.
The young lady was Tionne's daughter, Chase Anela Rolison, celebrating her 22nd birthday. Tionne gushed about Chase alongside the photo, marveling at how "crazy" it was that she had "a whole 22-year-old."
"Having You…. And Being Your Mother Is Beyond A Blessing! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHASE! I Wish The World To My Talented, Beautiful & Hilarious Daughter!!!" she wrote. Chase was born two months into her mother's marriage to rapper Mack 10, born D'Mon Rolison.
Her parents had met when TLC shot the music video for "Unpretty" from their album "Fanmail" in 1999. Although Chase didn't join the entertainment industry like Tionne and D'Mon, her future in business looks promising.

Chase Anela Rolison's Compassion for Her Mother When She Fell Sick
Chase's mother, who was diagnosed with sickle cell disease when she was seven, opened up about when she fell sick in a 2009 interview. Three years before, she discovered she had a grapefruit-sized brain tumor, which had caused constant headaches for years and affected her vision.
She had it surgically removed, but severe complications followed. At one point, Tionne recalled eating pancakes when her motor functions — blinking, walking, talking — stopped working, and her face became distorted.

"Two weeks later, Chase, who stayed with my aunt in Atlanta, and I were on iChat, and she was like, 'Mom, you look pretty.' I don't know what she saw, but it made me feel better," she recalled.
When Chase finally visited her, Tionne said her daughter would hold her cheeks and kiss her. "She didn't treat me like I looked funny," she said. Her love for Chase and her career motivated her to keep fighting to stay alive.
