‘Oh She Losing That Fight’: Tamar Braxton Throws Hands In New TikTok Trend, Fans Give Their Critiques

Tamar Braxton is showing her fans what her set looks like.

Braxton joined a TikTok trend where the participant plays a certain unnamed TikTok sound that users have been uploading and fake fighting to in the background. The point is to show followers one’s fighting style, and the participant is supposed to just start shadow boxing with no one there in front of them.

After pressing play, the singer backed up and started throwing blows in concerted fashion at the air. At first she seemed to do pretty well and kept up with the fast booming beat, but eventually gave up and started swinging her hands wildly as if some invisible person was pulling her hair. She did another video similar to that one where she once again was throwing serious punches. However, her 8-year-old son soon pushed her out of the way and started swinging on beat himself.

Uploading the solo video of herself to Instagram, she wrote, “K. Last one #bmore girl fight night😫🤣🤣.” Followers kept it real with Braxton, letting her know that if she got into a real fight she would lose. One person said, “Oh she losing that fight😭😭😭,” and another joked, “Welp we know who lost 😞 🧡.”

Others offered to help her with her defensive skills: “Tay Tay You talk cash money sh-t to not know how to scrap 😂😂😂….You got to come to Houston for the hood fights I got you boo😂😂 It’s all ❤️.”

Braxton has also been getting back out there with TV roles. Since her purported suicide attempt last year, Braxton slowed down from going on television and has been “under construction,” which is the name of her podcast. Recently she’s been getting in her hosting bag and just finished hosting the “Baddies ATL Reunion” along with her friend entertainment journalist Jason Lee.

She also will be featured on the rebooted series “Surreal Life” sometime this fall.

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.
