Tamar Braxton Gets Massive Fan Support for Taking Down Twitter Hater Who Shamed Her Bald Look

Tamar Braxton is unafraid to hit back at her haters. And she did just that on Twitter Saturday, Sept. 8.

A user by the username @thetrillgent said he honestly thought rapper Vic Mensa wearing a mask of a woman over his face was the singer.

“thought this was Tamar no lie,” he said of the photo.

Nearly an hour later, Braxton caught wind of the tweet and hit back with a low blow.

“😂….& I thought that was your dad! But I forgot that you don’t know what he looks like either🤷🏽‍♀️ #nolie #sincewejokingright😏.”

Fans ate up the major dose of shade.

“😂🤣😂 @TamarBraxtonHer for 🗣 The Win!!!”

“GIIIIRRRRLLLL!!!! I AM WHEEZING!! Give him the read of the century muva!😂☕️😬❤️😂 Don’t come for TAYTAY MKAY! Your asking for the read of your life! PERIOD!.”

“😂😂 That shout took a wrong turn. They already know you not the one to be played with.”

“drag him sis.”

“He finna go cry in the car 🤣😂😂🤣.”

“COLLECT AND DRAG TAMAR!”

Braxton has been rocking the bald look for the last several months and even shared the moment she shaved off all her hair with fans on Instagram.

“✂ finally free,” Braxton captioned the March clip of her hair cut as Bobby Brown’s “My Prerogative” played in the background.

As an explanation for why she decided to ditch her signature long blonde hair, Braxton made a follow-up post on her page writing, “I’m over feeling captive to a wig, weave, people, people’s comments & opinions hell…even my OWN feelings! WE can choose to stop these things from having the power and victory over us!! And for me, that starts TODAY 🤸🏾‍♀️ #happysttamarsday🍀.”

Since then, Braxton has switched up her ‘do. She primarily still rocks her bald look, but she’s also grown out her hair enough to dye it pink or purple and she’s not afraid to throw on a wig every now and then for a performance.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
