Tamar Braxton has made it abundantly clear that she is not here for any unnecessary drama.

The “Love & War” singer recently shared a cryptic message on her Instagram story that fans are connecting to blogger Jason Lee after he brought up her name in a recent interview with “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Marlo Hampton

At the 58:25 mark of their conversation on “The Jason Lee Show,” Lee asked Hampton about a robbery that transpired at her home in Sandy Springs, Georgia. The 47-year-old mentioned that a storage unit at her luxury showroom and boutique, Lé Archive, had been burglarized.

For unknown reasons, Lee followed up with a shady remark about the items inside of her unit, stating, “Marlo does not have the fake designer clothes that Tamar said Kandi’s wearing.”

It’s unclear why the founder of Hollywood Unlocked issued his statement, but fans are aware that Kandi Burruss does not have the best relationships with Hampton or Braxton.

While her long-lasting feud with Hampton has been documented throughout the ladies’ time on “RHOA,” the former Xscape singer’s quarrel with Braxton recently reignited a few months back.

In March, the former “The Real” co-host named Burruss and her husband, Todd Tucker, as the couple that she said had threatened her months prior. The accusation created newfound drama among the women and caused shady words to be spewed over the internet. 

According to Lee, one shady act consisted of Braxton DMing him and telling him the unconfirmed tea: “Tamar said that Kandi be wearing fake designer,” he reiterated to Hampton. 

Despite their past disputes, Hampton came to her co-star’s defense, stating that she “had not witnessed” Burruss stand before her in fraudulent or fake clothing. 

After the two-minute snippet made waves on the internet, Braxton coincidentally uploaded a video of herself with her three sisters and centered her caption around the importance of healing. 

“Healing is a REAL thing for me,” she wrote, “I’m not on the phone talking about people, I’m actually praying for people and myself to do better, be better and react better.”

She continued, “I don’t always do everything right, but that’s life.And being kind to myself is forgiving myself when I have setbacks. I speak peace over every situation that has caused Trauma and hurt. God can do ANYTHING p.s. @tonibraxton just learned @tasiaword “baby mama”song and won’t stop singing it thanks @mrldavis.”

Her message was soon shared on The Neighborhood Talk’s Instagram page, where commenters tried to connect her post with Lee’s tacky comment. 

“Both Jason and Tamar are messy. So there’s no telling who’s lying.”

“I’m convinced all the GWORLS are jealous and come for Kandi the most bc she has the most money and is most successful. They mad AF. You can’t tell me otherwise.” 

“This tamar still mad from her and the Todd situation, let it gooo tamar let it gooooo.”

It can be inferred that the “Braxton Family Values” star caught wind of the theories that were forming, as she demanded folks stop tying her into drama, especially drama of which she is unaware.

“Don’t make my post about some MESS i don’t know NOTHING about,” Braxton wrote on her IG story. “I hate that I ever did reality tv!! I can’t seem to get unstuck with this narrative.”

She also sent out a message on Twitter, denouncing Lee’s statement, “And let me say this.. not only did I NOT say that…. My desire is to have peace and resolve over that whole situation.  Everyone gets triggered when they are hurt.”

All of this current chaos does not appear to be hindering Burruss from enjoying her birthday celebration in Turks and Caicos Islands.

The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter turned 47 years old on May 17 and chose to ring in this blessing surrounded by friends and family.

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.
