Tamar Braxton Disses Rihanna: Takes Issue With 'Not R&B' Grammy Award Blast, Twitter Attack
Tamar Braxton considers herself a huge Rihanna fan, but only when it comes to pop music!
In a recent radio interview with Power 105.1's Angie Martinez, the "Love and War" songstress takes major "issue" with RiRi's 2014 Grammy Award win:
"She doesn't sing R&B music. She's a pop star. I had an issue with that a little bit. I love her [though]. Glad she won."
Remember, Drake's ex-girlfriend snagged the honor of "Best Urban Contemporary Album" for her hit record, Unapologetic.
Braxton continues:
"It's called Rhythm and Blues. Ribs and Barbecue. It's not pop pop pop tat uh tat tat tat. It's soulful. That's R&B. Every song of hers I've gotten my complete and utter life to... twerking. I'm just saying. I love her; I'm one of her biggest fans period, but that's not R&B music."
Well, do MstarsNews readers actually agree?
Despite some "truth" to Braxton's statements, several RiRi fans are NOT pleased. #TeamNavy prevails!
@Thedon_Keen: "Tamar just shouldn't speak on Rihanna's career status period . RIH IS A QUEEN and Ole girl is a peasant [crying]."
@ValedicTorrian: "What Tamar Braxton looked like arguing with Rihanna. #NoReply."
@SmileyNthahood: "Rihanna is multi-talented when it's comes to music. Rih has more R&B songs then anything, Tamar sounds STUPID!!!"
@xASIANbone: "Tamar should really have a better career , and better bottom lashes , before coming for Rih."
@4everWonnie: "Rih don't care what ppl say about her life or music , so it's no need to get a heart attack over Tamar opinion, Rih ain't worried #unbothered."
But some tweeters actually agree:
@FallForSummer: "Tamar is right. And I never thought I'd be saying that in my life. But we all know Rih should have gotten a pop nomination."
@Her_Navy: "Tamar said Rih isn't R&B? So what? She isn't, I don't see the big deal."
@elguapet0n: "Y'all MF's want to see drama between Rih and Tamar sooo bad. Like get a damn job and/or life."
@OhhhhhBanks: "Omg Tamar didn't even say Anything bad about Rihanna!!!! She told the truth Rih Rih is not R&B she's more pop than anything!"
@DearOldNJ: "Tamar was 1000% correct w/ her comments about Rih & her nomination. She didn't deserve that nominated for R&B ALBUM."
So will the "BBHMM" beauty slam back, or does she already have enough drama to deal with?
