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:
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.
While Tamar attempted to clean up the comment by proclaiming her love for Rihanna, she also managed to throw quite a bit of shade, proclaiming that Rihanna’s music isn’t ‘soulful’ enough to for an R&B Grammy win.
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.
