Tamar Braxton’s Congratulatory Message to Co-Star Snoop Dogg Goes Left When Fans Trash Her for Ditching His Play

Tamar Braxton just wanted to offer up a congratulatory message to her “Redemption of a Dogg” stage play co-star, Snoop Dogg. But the star was caught in a firestorm after fans spammed her comments with ridicule.

The singer applauded Snoop for getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday, Nov. 19.

“So happy for my brother twin @snoopdogg & @bosslady_ent look at GOD!!! #hollywoodwalkoffame🙏🏽 congratulations 🎈🍾🎉 love y’all 💕 i know u are literally on a High🚬😩😂😂😂😂😂,” Braxton wrote on Instagram Nov. 20.

Braxton starred in Snoop’s semi-autobiographical play as his angel guide during a fall tour. But reports emerged that she abruptly left the show during a Washington, D.C., matinee when her meal failed to arrive backstage. As a result, the cast had to replace her with another member on stage while LeToya Luckett sang her song offstage.

“Please, it’s important that we pray for her, this is a very vulnerable time so please just pray for her. She’s sorry she couldn’t be here for this curtain call, but she did get a chance to be here for you and she did the best she could,” writer/director Je’Caryous Johnson explained to the crowd post-show.

She came back to resume her role for the 7 p.m. show in the nation’s capital and completed her stint on the play without incident last weekend.

The slip-up, however, left fans with a bad taste in their mouths and they aired out their issues in the comments of Braxton’s tribute to Snoop.

“So why you clown like that at that show then??! #sincethatsyobrother 🤔 😯”

“Nasty ass fake diva attitude you try having on set.”

“So you throw kiddy temper tantrums jeopardizing your ‘brother’s’ show all over some food being delivered.”

“@tamarbraxton why do you act out everywhere you go and put on a show and be such the biggest drama queen… Do you think that people are going to continue to want to work with you when you act like a complete ass?”

“Sis did you really try to quit the show because your food didn’t come on time or something 😒”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
