Snoop Dogg and Tamar Braxton Are Hitting the Road with New Venture

Tamar Braxton just revealed she’s hitting the road with Snoop Dogg and it’s not a typical concert tour. The singer and the rapper are about to be flexing their acting chops as they make stops around the country as part of the award-winning director and producer Je’Caryous Johnson’s new stage play, “Redemption of a Dogg.”

“So me and uncle @snoopdogg is going on tour😜 singing, acting, rapping and being who we are!!!! Your city will be posted soon! #getchalife🤩 #redemptionofaDog,” Braxton said on Instagram Aug. 8 of the new gig.

The play, presented by Johnson and Snoop, is the follow up to the stage play version of the hit ’90s heist film “Set It Off.” It will feature the music of Snoop’s discography, which spans 25 years, and follows a man’s quest to maintain his life’s legacy by deciding between wealth and fame and religion and family. He winds up having to fight to redeem himself before losing it all — including his soul.

It’s not quite clear what Braxton’s role in the play will be, but tickets go on sale Friday, Aug. 10 and so fans can soon find out more as the show tour begins this fall.

Fans hearing about the news swiftly began expressing their excitement over seeing the singer in a new venture.

“That’s going to be good. Def can’t wait for that!”

“Here for it ALL the damn way. !!!! 😍😍😍😍”

“Yaaaas…. I’m so here for this… two of my favorite artists😍😍😍😍❤❤❤.”

“I can’t wait I remember the last time I seen you in Orlando! I was living!!! I love you @tamarbraxton.”

“#YasYas! Go ‘head and be blessed then sis! I’m here for this and can’t wait! So happy for you!!! @tamarbraxton.”

“I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS! We need to stay consistent on when tickets will be released because WE ARE GOING! Idc idc. Imma get my life.”

Braxton had previously announced plans to go on a concert tour.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
