‘Makes You Want to Have a Sister’: Tamar and Toni Braxton’s Chaotic Live Video Has Fans Cracking Up Over Their Hilarious Relationship

Sisters Tamar and Toni Braxton gave fans a glimpse into their Mother’s Day by sharing a comical Instagram Live video. 

The eight-minute clip was uploaded on the “Love & War” singer’s Instagram page and showed the two ladies enjoying each other’s company while they sang tunes and drank Champagne.

According to Tamar, she had “at least seven” glasses of Champagne and claimed her sister had two. Despite the consumption disparity, the “Un-Break My Heart” singer seemed more impaired than her baby sister. Per Toni, she blamed her inebriation on being a “lightweight.” 

Throughout Tamar’s Instagram Live they showed love to R&B “Vocal Bible” Brandy by imitating her mezzo-soprano vocal range. It appeared as if Tamar and Toni were having the time of their lives, for they couldn’t contain their rambunctious laughter, which erupted every few seconds. 

Before their video closed, the two sisters wished all of the mothers who were watching the live a “happy Mother’s Day.” The two prominent singers are mothers themselves; Toni has two sons, 21-year-old Denim Cole and 20-year-old Diezel Ky Braxton-Lewis, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Keri Lewis. 

As for Tamar, she has one son, 9-year-old Logan Vince Herbert, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Vincent Herbert. 

Not too long after the video hit Tamar’s social media page, several fans expressed their love and adoration for the sisters, suggesting the women go live together more often. 

“So fun! Love when you and Toni go live”

“My God these 2 people are the sweetest sisters together. It just makes you want to have a sister” 

“Y’all need to go live all time Toni voice” 

The sisters received love back in March after going live and singing the theme song of the children’s television show “Reading Rainbow.” 

While they seem to be pretty close now, this wasn’t always the case. Tamar and Toni struggled to see eye to eye for a very long time. Their explosive arguments were documented on the We TV reality show “Braxton Family Values.” 

The root of their feud was finally revealed in 2018 during the show’s sixth season after Iyanla Vanzant coached them through their differences

During the therapy session, Toni said she does not like the way Tamar expresses herself. After voicing her reason for her disapproval, Toni came to realize that she’s ultimately disappointed in who Tamar has been since infancy. 

“That’s not a nice thing to feel,” the seven-time Grammy winner concluded before apologizing to her sister, “Sorry, Tay.”

Without hesitation, Tamar replied, “It’s OK.” 

Tamar and Toni’s relationship has definitely grown since 2018, and it appears their sisterhood is currently stronger than ever.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
