Tamar Braxton is catching a ton of flack lately for comments she made about Rihanna.
Braxton spoke with 105/1’s Angie Martinez in a recent interview and shared her feelings about Rihanna walking off with a Grammy for her “Unapologetic” album, stating:

In case you haven’t heard, Miss Keri Baby was viciously attacked by a few hardcore Beyonce fans as she was getting her drink on during the New Year’s eve festivities. Sources say the Beyonceites were yelling obscenities to Keri because of the remix of Turnin’ Me On and all hood came out of Keri as she fought to contain her composure after several glasses…um errr bottles of Nuvo.
