Tamar Braxton was born in Severn, Maryland, as the youngest of six siblings in a musical family.

Her father, a pastor, encouraged her and her sisters—Tony, Tracy, Towanda, and Trina—to sing in the church choir.

In 1990, they signed with Arista Records and released “Good Life,” but the song did not achieve commercial success.

After being dropped by the label, Tamar and her sisters continued to support Tony’s solo career, eventually leading Tamar to pursue her own path in music.

 

In 1998, Tamar signed with DreamWorks Records, marking the beginning of her solo career.

Her journey in the music industry has been filled with ups and downs, but her resilience has always shone through.

 

Tamar has never shied away from expressing her opinions, often leading to public backlash.

In 2019, she stirred controversy with an Instagram post suggesting that if a man did not touch his partner for several days, he might be gay.

This statement drew criticism for being disrespectful to the LGBTQ+ community and oversimplifying relationship dynamics.

Tamar later apologized, acknowledging that her words were influenced by her own experiences and frustrations.

Her outspoken nature has led to both acclaim and criticism.

While she gained popularity as a co-host on the talk show “The Real,” she was fired after the second season, with many believing her candid personality contributed to her dismissal.

 

Tamar’s personal life has been a roller coaster, particularly her relationships.

Her marriage to Vincent Herbert lasted nearly nine years before their divorce in 2017.

Following her divorce, she dated Nigerian businessman David Adefeso, but their relationship ended amid allegations of domestic violence.

David claimed Tamar assaulted him while driving, while Tamar denied these allegations, asserting that she was the victim in the relationship.

 

In a poignant interview, Tamar revealed the emotional toll of her experiences in the entertainment industry, including a severe mental health crisis in July 2020, where she attempted suicide.

After this incident, she expressed gratitude for David’s support during her darkest moments, although their relationship ultimately soured.

 

After the tumultuous events of the past few years, Tamar has focused on her mental health and well-being.
