Tamar Braxton Finally Gives Fans a Peek at Her ‘Fine’ Nigerian Boyfriend

Tamar Braxton has been doing a pretty good job of keeping her Nigerian boyfriend out of the spotlight but a recent video has given fans their closest look at him yet.

Braxton and her man, whose name is said to be Yemi according to the singer’s Tamar Chronicles fan page, went to one of the stops of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s On the Run II Tour in September. As Bey sang “Young Forever/Halo,” Braxton swiveled her phone camera around to capture her and reportedly her new man rocking sunglasses and embracing as she caressed his face.

“I mean, he’s the real-life T’Chella,” Braxton told St. Louis, Mo.’s  95.5 The Lou recently, comparing him to fictional Wakanda native T’Challa of “Black Panther.” “He’s originally from Nigeria but he’s been here [in America] … he lives in California … He is fine.”

Braxton has recently been opening up more about her man, including when she visited “The Wendy Williams Show” last month. There, she echoed talk of how attractive her boo is.

“Thank you, God, he’s so fine! I can’t take it sometimes. It’s like a whole snack — a Lunchable!” she exclaimed.

Once fans saw the video, which was uploaded to Braxton’s page on Thursday, Oct. 18 before it was pulled down,  they wholeheartedly agreed.

“👀 I just started to declare, I don’t date American Men no more, not at all. I’m trying be smiling like Tamar. Ijs, let me see your birth certificate and passport book, okkk. I’m not playing…😏”

“Get yo ass a Wakanda ladies!!! You won’t regret it 💘”

“Sheed I sware…. mane that’s I was when I first experienced an African man. Its was amazing until I realize he just like a nigga. Blessing. Happy for you❤️”

“Keep smiling boo!! Enjoy that ride, it’s your turn🙌🏾””

“Yesssss im happy for my girl go boo keep doing you long as you and Logan is happy that’s all matter much love #teamtamar😍😘👊👍💕”

“Happy for you I love you how you feeling about that situation god blessing you girl god is really with you keep him don’t let him go have faith.”

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.
