However, In a comment on her post on Wednesday, Davis clarified that she didn’t buy the house.

“Uhh….contrary to websites….I do not ‘own’ above house,” Davis wrote in reference to the photo. “I ‘own’ my STORY!! Too abstract I guess.”

In 2016 she talked to People and Entertainment Weekly magazines about her short time on her grandmother’s farm, which was a part of the Singleton Plantation in St. Matthews.

Davis said she “wasn’t on it long, because I was the fifth child, and so we moved soon after I was born.””I mean, I went back to visit briefly but still not aware of the history,” she said. “I think I read one slave narrative of someone who was on that plantation which was horrific. 160 acres of land, and my grandfather was a sharecropper.”
