‘She Would Act a Fool’: Tamar Braxton Fans Practically Deem Her a Hypocrite After ‘Flirty’ Interaction with ‘Brother’ Big Tigger

As the “Welcome to the Dungeon” tour continues to roll through the Southeast, Tamar Braxton is clearly enjoying herself backstage — and she might be having a little too much fun, according to some fans.

The singer had herself a ball with her self-described brother Darian “Big Tigger” Morgan, who came to see the star during a recent show in Atlanta.

“my crazy ass brother @bigtiggershow came to see me @thedungeontour and they said he was too old to drive the boat 🤣🤣🤣🤣 so we went back in time and #reversetheboat 😝 how bout that 🥰❤️,” she captioned the accompanying Oct. 22 video.

The footage saw Braxton whip open a bottle of Hennesy and get behind Big Tigger while backstage at the tour as someone off-camera shouted “who’s driving the boat?” Smiling, Braxton grabbed his jaw as a tight-lipped Tigger grinned and shook his head when she attempted to pour some cognac in his mouth. When the V-103 radio host wouldn’t budge, Braxton instead took the bottle — her hand still around his neck — and tossed a shot’s worth of alcohol down her throat with Tigger’s assistance. She then wiped her mouth and hugged her pal before sticking her tongue out as if to prove she swallowed the beverage.

But while the moment was lighthearted, fans took it seriously considering she’s been going steady with her boyfriend David Adefeso for more than a year now.

“Let’s hope Tamar man isn’t the jealous type because she was all Over him and that’s on period sis”

“@itzonlynae2020 that’s too flirty ‘SHE’ too old for that!” someone else replied.

“If this were David she would act a fool ijs”

“Where is your man”

But at least one fan claimed Adefeso wasn’t far away. Defending Braxton and her actions, the Instagram user said, “@itzonlynae2020 @slimgoodie75 if since y’all so concerned y’all might as well know that David was in the room with her while she was doing it. Her and tig been friends for a long time thats all.”

It’s true, Adefeso trekked to Atlanta with a pal and Trina Braxton’s fiancé Von Scales to support Braxton and joked he’s “gotta be there to supervise” after he “heard she’s gonna be on her worst behavior.”

Accompanying his message was a video of himself about to hop on a flight from L.A. before he later posted footage of himself and a giddy Braxton on their way to the tour’s next stop in New Orleans.

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.
