‘Snatched Downnn’: Tamar Braxton Sends Fans Into a Frenzy with All-Black Latex Look

R&B singer Tamar Braxton is stepping on necks with her latest look.

In a video posted to Instagram, the songstress rocked her hips to the music as she showed off a daring, all-black latex look for her upcoming show for friend Kandi Burruss‘ “Welcome to the Dungeon” tour. Braxton, 42, sported a mesh black corset, high-waist latex shorts and a pair of fishnet tights.

“I told @trinarockstarr It’s not showtime cause the wine ain’t right yet,”  she captioned the post. “She’s too subtle😩😩😂😂😂 don’t miss tonight LA at #kandidungeonparty it’s gonna be a good one👅💫”

The songstress’ honey blonde tresses and bright red lips helped pull the ensemble together, and fans simply couldn’t get enough.

“Omgawwwdddd snatched hunnniiii yassss!!” one fan commented.

“Snatched downnnn.”

One woman chimed in: “You mean to tell me you hid all that sexy black girl thickness 😍🙌🏾💕 my Pisces sistaaaaa you fiiiiine boo 😘😁😍!”

“Show Me Another 42 Year Old That’s This Bad And I’ll Pay You‼️ 😍😍💎,” another person said before adding, “#MsBraxtonIfYouNasty.”

Her boyfriend David Adefeso even felt compelled to comment. “Face like an angel❤️❤️❤️; body like a #dungeonmistress🔥🔥🔥….can’t wait to see the show tonite👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏿🙏🏿🔥🔥❤️❤️.”

Some fans noticed a change in Braxton’s appearance in the possibly filtered photo, however, and suspected she may have gotten more cosmetic work done.

“She must have the same doctor as the Jacksons 😳😬😩,” wrote one critic.

“Tamar 🤦🏼‍♀️ your face is starting not look like you….” said another.

One critic argued the “Love and War” singer looked more “Asian” than Black. Another agreed, adding: “I thought you were Jeannie [Mai] from ‘The Real.’ ”

“She looking real Chinese these days,” another fan opined.

Braxton also drew criticism from fans last week when she said she was “too drained” and exhausted to attend the funeral of her 24-year-old niece  Lauren, who died from complications of a heart condition on April 29.

““I’ve been MIA because I just cannot bring myself to post about my niece,” the singer said. “I just can’t do it. I am drained … it’s a lot.”

But shortly after the backlash Braxton would follow up with a series of posts in which she both clarified that she did in fact attend the funeral and slapped down the criticism she got as unjustified.

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.
