‘Sit This One Out’: Fans Are Split After Tamar Braxton Calls Out Tory Lanez for His Short Temper After the Singer Shares This Tweet

Earlier this week, Tory Lanez found himself in controversy after he and August Alsina reportedly got into a physical altercation that allegedly led to the “Entanglement” vocalist getting knocked out.

According to social media blog Gossip of the City, the incident, which left Alsina with visible injuries, stemmed from Alsina refusing to greet Lanez backstage as the pair wrapped up their set at the “Fall Back In Love Comedy and Music Jam” tour.

At the time of the incident, the blog claimed that Alsina decided not to interact with Lanez because of his past comments on the 30-year-old’s entanglement with Jada Pinkett Smith. Since then, Lanez has denied all allegations and was removed from the tour. 

On Sept. 21, Lanez found himself making headlines once again after Tamar Braxton blasted him for his short temper after the “Say It” singer took to Twitter to discuss his frustration with refrigerated peanut butter. 

In the tweet, Lanez wrote, “Please stop putting peanut butter in the fridge … it doesn’t spread and It be ripping my damn bread lmao like wtf.”

Once Hollywood Unlocked reposted the tweet, Braxton took it upon herself to offer a piece of advice to Lanez. In the now-deleted comment, Braxton wrote, “Please stop losing your temper first.”

As Braxton’s remarks went viral, many fans were torn by her comment. Some people felt that Braxton’s advice was correct, but others claimed she had a temper problem in the past after seeing her interactions with her sisters and co-workers.

“She ain’t wrong.he worried about peanut butter and he done assaulted someone else..he has bigger fish to fry honestly.”

“But did she say something wrong??”

“Yes Tamar, check him!”

“She got issues of her own trying to judge somebody else.”

“@tamarbraxton sit this one out don’t act like we see you on TV acting a whole a–.”

“Well ain’t that the pot calling the kettle black!!!”

Lanez has yet to respond to Braxton’s comment.

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.
