Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Tamar Braxton remains booked and busy. As she continues to sort through the drama of “Braxton Family Values,” the singer is preparing to join a new BET competition series set to air this fall.

Her fan Instagram account Tamar Chronicles reported she’s set to appear as a coach on the hybrid docu-music series due titled “The Next Big Thing.” Initially announced as part of the network’s 2018-2019 slate of shows in April, the program will see artists perform at their best in order to secure a record deal with six major labels.

The contestants will be coached by music icons in a developmental bootcamp where they’ll be challenged on how prepared they are performance-wise, Deadline reported. The show’s executive producers include rapper and music producer Swizz Beatz as well as veteran A&R executive Tina Davis, who formerly managed Chris Brown during the height of his career.

Fans are applauding Braxton’s latest rumored career move.

“I think Tamar will be excellent at this.”

“Omg this just got me hype. 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I can’t wait.”

“I think I saw a commercial of this I think with Lorianne Gibson. When I heard of you being a coach I immediately said purpose. This is what you were literally gifted to do as well @tamarbraxton I can’t wait to see this. Maybe next American Idol or the 4.😍”

“Hope they ready because I love her drive to produce only excellent music 🎤🎶🎶 congratulations @tamarbraxton 🍾🍾🥂 So Dope.”

This development comes nearly one month after Braxton announced she’d be heading out on tour with Snoop Dogg as one of the stars of the 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 of the show, which currently has tickets on sale.

 

Still independent.

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.
