She is reportedly living in New York City.
After the rapper’s passing, she described her relationship with her children as “strained, at best.”

Not until after his departure did Mack’s former partner come into the limelight to talk about him.

I loved the ground Craig walked on.”
Roxanne, in the same interview, mentioned several people who had been around them during their financial crisis after the birth of their first child, Amanda.
During the trying time, when Mack asked the “flashy” music executive Combs for some cash, he allegedly pulled out a big bundle of cash and took out only a $100 bill to give him a “smug, nasty” look.
Besides this, the former wife of the late rapper also mentioned how she noticed a pattern of spontaneity and extremes in the way he acted. Hill-Johnson stated,
“I didn’t see that [side to him] until we got married,”
