‘Heard It All Beforeeee’: Fans Are Hard-Pressed to Believe Toni Braxton Will Finally Go Through With Wedding to Birdman This Year

2020 may prove to be a year of new beginnings for the Braxton family, especially sisters Tamar and Toni Braxton, who are both crazy in love with their boos and eyeing future weddings.

The “Living Legend” has been engaged to rapper and Cash Money Records co-founder Bryan “Birdman” Williams for over a year, but all the while she has managed to stay rather tight-lipped about their pending nuptials, at least until recently.

While calling into the “Rick and Sasha” morning radio show for an interview on April 9, Braxton addressed the status of her relationship, considering the public hardly ever sees Braxton with Birdman, let alone hears anything about the duo.

“You don’t hardly ever see us together. When we were out there was lot of people saying things, and I’m kind of sensitive. I can’t deny it. We decided we were gonna keep our lives quieter,” explained the “Un-break My Heart” songstress.

Even more revealing was that walking down the aisle is still very much on the table, but the couple just has some planning to work through once and for all.

“You know we have gone back and forth on wedding dates. We had a great date, but then it was getting too big and we didn’t want a big wedding, then we said we don’t want it too small, but then he said, ‘OK, let’s do the drive-thru.’ And I’m like, ‘We are not doing a drive-thru, I am not ordering fries after we get married. We’re not doing it,’” added Braxton. “So we have been trying to figure it out, but we are definitely gonna do it this year.”

At this point fans will have to see it to believe it, especially considering most were surprised the two artists are still an item.

“I thought they wasn’t together ? Lol”

“Heard it all beforeeee”

“I thought they broke up! Toni been holdin out! Lol”

“This is a year of who would’ve thought..”

“Oh they late! I been thought they were married😂”

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.
