‘I Need to Speak to My Child’:  Tamar Braxton Claims Ex-Husband Vincent Blocked Her, Says She Can’t Talk to Their Son 

Tamar Braxton is making some serious allegations about her ex-husband and music executive, Vincent Herbert. The pair filed for divorce in 2017, just one month before their ninth wedding anniversary. The post journey has not been easy, according to the R&B, artist who recently claimed that Herbert has blocked her from his phone and that she cannot communicate with their son Logan when he is with his father. 

The former “Braxton Family Values” star took to her Instagram Live earlier this week, where she aired out her frustrations. “What’s happening, y’all? I’m going live right now because I have been calling my son all day long, and it seems like this is the only way to get Logan Vincent Herbert on this phone. So I’m sure he’s going to be coming on live soon, and I need you to call your mother. Stop playing with me,” she said.

The 44-year-old singer asked, “Why do baby daddies and baby mommas think it’s okay to block you while they got your child? What’s that? Who told you that?”

Braxton added before addressing both fans who were showing her support and critics who accused her of using the opportunity to speak ill of her ex-husband. “I can’t call Vince. I’m blocked, okay? There you have it. That’s why I’m looking for my child. I need to speak to my child. That is so corny!”

She conyinued, “No, we’re not bashing. Listen, my baby daddy is my cousin, okay? Just like families, we argue and fight. We don’t get along,” she said. “I probably was calling too much. Well, I only got one. I’m going to call my son 13,000 times a day. There you have it.”

Still, things weren’t always this turbulent between Herbert and Braxton, who, in a 2020 interview, opened about her co-parenting relationships with Logan’s dad. While speaking to “Entertainment Tonight,” the “All the Way Home” singer said their troubles were triggered by their initial inability to let go of the romantic aspect of their relationship. 

“It’s all the years of trying to figure out where we fit, right? Because for 16 years, we’ve been together and been best friends, and I think what we had to revert back to is remembering that we were friends first, and it took a little while,” she said at the time.

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.
