The video shows the rapper pulling up in his black-and-white Lamborghini to the billboard that says “Vote Jeannie,” wishing her good luck as she competes for the “Dancing With The Stars” trophy. “I just want to wish you luck on your big night tonight. I got a little something for you. Can you sign it for me?” As the video goes on, “The Real” co-host is hiding behind a multicolored assortment of balloons.

This isn’t the first time that the “Love and War” singer made headlines for mentioning her former “The Real” co-stars after her departure from the daytime television show back in 2016. In March, Tamar participated in “He’s Got The Whole World In His Hands” singing challenge and tagged former co-host Adrienne Bailon-Houghton alongside singer Mariah Carey, Tiny Harris, and her sister Toni Braxton to join. She captioned the March 23 post, “My Dear God, You are the ONLY thing that has got us. We are depending on you. YOU are the only one who can fix this. This here is bigger than all of us……BUT you are BIGGER

The video generated over 500,000 views and over 4,000 comments. The challenge was created by mogul Tyler Perry; the purpose behind it was to help uplift everyone’s spirits during challenging times.

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.
