Tamar Braxton’s recent Instagram message was misinterpreted by some followers who thought she was implying her estranged spouse Vince Herbert is gay and she had to step in to shut down the claims.
“Sometimes a man hurts every woman who enters his life because his true soulmate is a man…” read a meme Braxton uploaded onto her Instagram page Monday, Oct. 22.
“And the results are in … (in my @officialmauryshow voice) In the case of why niggas ack like that???.. “your telling the truth”!!! 🙄 #goodnight (pay attention to a nig track record tho) #iainttalmboutnobody🤷🏽♀️ #psa,” she added in the caption.

Yet despite her inclusion of the hashtag, “iainttalmboutnobody,” fans speculated about who she may be referring to.
“I feel like this is an entire pot of tea brewing right now..”
“‘Say their names or keep it on the playground.'”
“Sis, what is u saying🤔”
“Cassie posted this two weeks ago before it was announced her and Diddy broke up😩”
And one fan stepped up to flat out ask, “Vincent D Herbert gay?🤔🤔🤔🤔”
“@virgokeeme fck no,😒” Braxton responded.
But that fan wasn’t alone in thinking Braxton was referring to her soon-to-be ex, with whom she shares 5-year-old son Logan.
“@virgokeeme that’s what I’m asking too!!!!
“@virgokeeme listen that is exactly what I thought after reading this lol🧐🧐🧐”
“@virgokeeme Well, he worked with Lady Gaga…🍵
Another fan questioned why Braxton would have posted the comment to begin with saying, “so why did you post this statement? This is very misleading and it leaves it open to think that you referring to your ex you shouldn’t post things like this if it’s not true.” She has now deleted the post.
Braxton and Herbert were married for nearly nine years before she filed to divorce her music executive spouse in 2017. And there’s no hope for reconciliation, either. Braxton has found happiness with an unnamed Nigeran Harvard graduate who works in the financial sector.
