Toni Braxton Admits To Playing In The Snow On Chelsea Lately

Singer/song writer Toni Braxton denies being a racist after making a series of colorful comments while appearing on Chelsea Lately this past Tuesday.

Chelsea asked Toni about her new love interest by stating;

“I hear you have a little bit of ‘jungle fever’ right now, and you are dating a white man?”

The Braxton Family Values star replied;

“I am. I’m playing in the snow. It’s kinda nice, I can’t deny it.”

She went on to explain how their differences made things more exciting.

“Just because it’s kind of different. The skin feels different, that’s kind of nice. It smells different.”

Chelsea agreed by stating;

“Everyone has a different kind of scent or smell and it comes from within you. You can’t explain it, when you try to explain it sounds totally racist.”

But Toni made sure to back Chelsea up by adding;

“It’s not.”

It’s an interesting way to describe interracial dating. Toni also revealed she’s working on releasing her inner slutness since her mystery man has yet to make it to third base. In the meantime, Toni still goes on dates with her ex-husband Keri Lewis. Check out the video below. What do you think of Toni’s interview?

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
