‘Yikes:’ Tamar Braxton Fans Believe She’s Gotten Work Done to Her Face Thanks to New Video

Tamar Braxton is basking in her new love life but a video she recently shared of her lovey-dovey feelings has fans wondering if she’s gone under the knife.

The singer uploaded a video to Instagram Thursday, Nov. 1 lip-synching to The Jets’ 1986 hit, “You Got It All.”

“Face by ME💪🏽 song by the Holy Ghost 👻” she declared in the caption.

However, between the makeup and the pink butterfly filter, fans thought something was going on with Braxton’s face with the help of a plastic surgeon.

“Lord!! Ease up on the cheek fillers.”

“@twe3turheartout do she have implants in her cheeks? 🤔”

“Did u get new cheeks again?”

“YOU NEED TO STOP PUTTING THAT BOTOX IN YOUR CHEEK BONES. YOU LOOK HORRID.”

“Stop with the cheek bone botox 🤣🤣”

“Plz plz plz leave ur face alone… YIKES.”

“Not hating. Cheeks bones fillers messing her face up looking so swollen smiling when you not smiling😂😂”

Braxton hasn’t acknowledged the speculation about her face. Instead, she’s focusing on her love life with her Nigerian boyfriend, who is rumored to be named Yemi.

Recently, Braxton posted a video of the pair cozying up together during one of the last stops of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s On the Run II Tour. She deleted the clip, where her man’s face was shielded by sunglasses, but she’s gushed about him before and since.

During an appearance on “The Wendy Williams Show” in September, Braxton was giddy when she spoke about her man.

“Thank you, God, he’s so fine! I can’t take it sometimes. It’s like a whole snack — a Lunchable! He lives in L.A., he’s originally from Nigeria, but he lived here for a while,” she disclosed of her Harvard graduate bae.

And when she stopped by St. Louis, Mo.’s 95.5 The Lou last month, Braxton continued to gush about her man, comparing him to fictional Wakanda native T’Challa of “Black Panther.”

“I mean, he’s the real-life T’Chella,” she said. “He’s originally from Nigeria but he’s been here [in America] … he lives in California … He is fine.”

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.
