‘Loni Minding Her Business’: Tamar Braxton Receives Flak from Fans After Responding to Loni Love’s Comment About ‘The Real’ Not Giving Her a Birthday Surprise

Any hope for reconciliation between Tamar Braxton and Loni Love may have gone out the window.

Braxton and Love, who previously worked together on “The Real” for three seasons, are currently not on speaking terms after Braxton accused her alongside Tamera Mowry, Adrienne Bailon, and Jeannie Mai of being involved in her 2016 firing. Despite the women denying all the allegations, Braxton only made amends with Bailon and Mowry.

On July 14, Braxton seemingly threw shots at Love for calling out “The Real” for not properly giving her a birthday celebration. This comes after “E! News: Daily Pop” employees surprised Love with a “Happy Birthday” performance by the Potash Twins. Alongside the performance, E! News’ official Twitter account also penned a message to the 51-year-old. 

Love responded to the kind gestures by writing how humbled she was by the entire experience. As Love’s post made its rounds on social media blog sites, including Hollywood Unlocked, Braxton wrote in the comment section, “On the next episode of Staying saved…” 

Although it is unclear what Braxton meant by those remarks, many bashed the “Love & War” vocalist for being messy and throwing shade.

“How are you saved and you stay throwing shade all of the time.”

“When you move on and heal you’re supposed to move on and heal, just saying.”

“Tamar so damn messy… what did Loni say have to do w her? Staying saved would have been to keep quiet bc to this day not 1 of those ladies have ever said anything bad about her & Lord knows they could’ve.”

“Loni minding her business and Tamar coming for her again. I like them both and want them both to be successful and Tamar needs to do an interview and get it all off her chest and move on from commenting on post.”

“Staying ‘saved’ but constantly having to comment on some s–t! If you truly saved you wouldn’t have even commented and paid it dust but no she gotta go out of her way to be seen and just can’t help but say something.”

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.
