Tamar Braxton’s Latest Announcement Gets Derailed When Fans Bring Up ‘The Masked Singer’

Posted byBy Diamond Jeune | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Tamar Braxton‘s new beauty show announcement via Instagram on Wednesday, Sept. 22, got a bit sidetracked when fans mentioned FOX-TV’s “The Masked Singer.”

“The Masked Singer” is a singing competition where celebrities battle one another, in costume, including a full head mask, for a Golden Mask trophy and for the crown of the show winner. Throughout the course of the competition, singers, who are eliminated in the series, will have to reveal their identities on air.

The reason why people brought up the series, which is currently in its sixth season, because they believed Braxton was one of the contestants. Prior to the derailment, Braxton shared details on her Instagram page about her show called “Beauty Insider with Tamar Braxton,” set to premiere this week on the live streaming app Bigo.

The show will include reviews of skincare regimens or products that are suggested by her fans. Braxton said, “Hey everybody it’s your girl Tamar her now don’t look at my beauty I want to know all about your beauty. Yes tomorrow join me on Bigo on my brand new beauty show…on Bigo at 8 p.m. Thursday evenings.”

As fans viewed her post, they immediately pointed out that Braxton was “The Masked Singer” contestant Pufferfish. A couple of people suggested if the singer isn’t Pufferfish, then one of her sisters has to be.

“The puffer fish is you or Toni.”

“Tamar you CANNOT hide your voice or personality!! 😂You are Pufferfish!!”

“Ok babyyyyyyyy you’re the fish on The Masked Singer. I know this is you!!!👏👏🙌🙌 congratulations on your new show!”

“TAMAR YOU ARE THE PUFFER FISH AND YOU CANT DENY IT!! You can try to mask that voice all you want but it’s too good to hide lol 🐡 🐡 🙌🏽🙌🏽.”

“@tamarbraxton Now you your true fans know your damn voice! Now that FISH, is either YOU or that damn TOWANDA BRAXTON! Now which Braxton sister is it?! @tamarbraxton OR @itowandabraxton ?! #TheMaskedSinger.”

The following day, Pufferfish’s identity was finally revealed as Toni Braxton after she was eliminated in a group round against The Hamster, The Skunk, The Bull and The Baby.

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.
