Toni Braxton Avoids Answering Questions About Wedding Birdman After Posting About Tour

Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Toni Braxton got engaged to rapper Birdman last year but it seems her mind is all on her business.

The singer uploaded a photo to Instagram telling fans she was “Using my @unclebuds_hemp getting my body ready for THE TOUR!” The singer teamed with the company in September to promote its line of all-natural, hemp-infused skincare, personal care and pain relief products.

Braxton is set to kick off her As Long As I Live Tour next year, which will include SWV as special guests. The show is launching in Columbia, S.C. at the Township Auditorium on Jan. 19 and wrapping up March 3 in Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater.

Several fans shared their excitement about seeing the “Seven Whole Days” singer on the road.

“I’m ready to see you Ms. Toni Braxton 😍”

“We can’t wait to see you here in Houston, TX!!!”

“@tonibraxtonnn omg I can’t wait to see what her wardrobe for the tour looks like either. I already know she’s gonna look gorgeous as always 😩😍”

“It’s workin, an you’re ready, have a Great Tour, hope to see you in the Ville😄”

But others wondered about her impending nuptials to Birdman. The last major update fans got about it was during the last season of “Braxton Family Values.”

“What about the wedding 👰”

“What about this wedding huuuuuuuh….. love it always beautiful a classic!!!”

“OK but um are you married? Are you still engaged? Do you even really wanna marry him? You got cold feet because you already been down this road? Like wassup Toni #thefanswanttoknow because you stay booked and busy.”

“WHEN’S THE WEDDING?”

“Hey beautiful so..when’s the wedding???❤️❤️❤️❤️💍”

Braxton got engaged to Birdman in September 2017 and after avoiding confirming the news, she made things clear in a teaser for BFV released back in February. But by the time the show returned to airwaves in April, fans and her family learned she and her fiancé would not wed in August as previously expected.

“B and I got engaged seven months ago, but we haven’t set a date because of my schedule,” she said on the show. “I hate that. You’re supposed to set a date and stick to it. But unfortunately, in our business, it can be challenging sometimes.”

Still independent.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
