Tamar Braxton is addressing recent rumors about her relationship with Birdman, the music mogul linked to her sister Toni Braxton, in an effort to clarify the situation and dispel misconceptions. Following a heated episode of “The Braxtons” that aired in late October, where her sister Towanda accused her of stealing money and hinted at past romantic connections with Toni’s partners, Tamar felt compelled to set the record straight.
During a December 15 interview with Sherri Shepherd, Tamar passionately refuted the allegations, asserting that she would never betray her sisters. The rumors intensified after a dramatic moment during a Verzuz battle where Tamar was seen wiping Birdman’s forehead, leading fans to speculate about the nature of their relationship. She emphatically stated that Birdman, whose real name is Bryan Williams, is simply a family friend.
Tamar explained that she introduced Toni to Birdman, who was initially friends with her before becoming romantically interested in Toni after her divorce. She expressed hurt over Towanda’s claims, characterizing them as not only false but also rooted in past abusive behavior Towanda had exhibited towards her. The act of wiping Birdman’s sweat was framed as a supportive gesture for her sister, not a romantic one.
Reflecting on the recent emotional turmoil among the Braxton sisters, Tamar acknowledged her embarrassment over the public argument but also pointed out that family disputes are not unusual. She stressed the importance of her family’s bond, expressing gratitude for their mother, Evelyn Braxton, who encouraged them to apologize and work on mending their relationships.
Fortunately, Tamar shared that the sisters are currently in a better place, focusing on healing. She highlighted the need for accountability on everyone’s part and emphasized that their healing process may not require constant communication but rather a peaceful rapport when they do connect. Tamar’s hopeful outlook on rebuilding familial ties underscores the resilience and love that remain at the core of their relationship.
