Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on: | Updated on September 23, 2018 CommentsComments (0)

Tamar Braxton has been publicly gushing about her new relationship with her Nigeran beau but one fan decided to rain on her parade.

Nearly a week after she officially confirmed her she’s dating her hunky Harvard graduate, a Twitter user clowned the singer over a stereotype about Nigeran men.

“It’s all fun and games till you find out they are legally married to a tribe of women in Nigeria😂,” user @specialgirlrob said in response to a tweet Braxton posted about how fine her man is.

“At a table full of Nigerian men and I don’t know WTF they are saying🤔… ion even CARE!!!! ALL I know is that THIS one right HERE next to me??…is FINE As HELL!! #praiseGod #hereforit🤪😋 #saywhateverulike #🤷🏽‍♀️ #wakandaforeverbih #immoving,” the star previously tweeted.

Fans of the performer took time to question @specialgirlrob for her post.

“Why are you trying to split people up, do you have facts to back up your claim or is it based on fallacies.”

“Judging the cover of a book without going through it. its useless and jobless girls like you who usually destroys peoples relationship and also spreading negativity about Nigeria men. #sandSandForGarri.”

“It was [a] joke calm down I’m not splitting no one up she don’t even know me,” @specialgirlrob replied.

So when Braxton caught what the Twitter user said, she issued a swift response and affirmed she and her man are going strong.

“Sorry sis🤷🏽‍♀️ he’s been here since he was 21. No wife there but I’ll let you know when we go there together for his mother’s bday 🤪.”

Braxton hasn’t named her new man but she gave the most information she ever has about her boyfriend on “The Wendy Williams Show” last week. The singer explained she had only been seeing her man for a few months but that it “feels like forever.”

Describing the mystery man, Wendy Williams told viewers he’s “African, he’s in wealth finance, he’s got dreads … he’s got a really nice body.”

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.
