Tamar Braxton thinks people are “dragging” the viral video.
During a TikTok Live Q&A on July 9, the “Love & War” singer reacted to the now-viral clip in which Kandi seems to roll her eyes after greeting her, while Monica appears down rapidly, avoiding eye contact. She explained that she merely needed to congratulate Kandi on her accomplishments and made it clear that followers had been “dragging” the interplay a little too far.
“That was that,” Tamar said, shutting down theories that there was any hidden that means behind the interplay.
The singer said she was just being “cordial” to Kandi in the video.
As beforehand reported, social media rapidly went into detective mode after a viral clip confirmed Tamar greeting Kandi during a photo-op that includes Brandy, Monica, Missy Elliott, Mona Scott-Young, and other honorees at ESSENCE’s Black Women in Music celebration on July 5. While Tamar appeared to warmly congratulate Kandi, viewers couldn’t help but discover what they believed was a frosty response. Monica appeared to look down, while Kandi flashed what many called a pretend smile before showing to roll her eyes, sending the web into overdrive with renewed feud hypothesis.
Tamar explained that she was merely being “cordial” by giving Kandi flowers for the honour.
“That was the gist of it… I don’t think that’s fake and I don’t think that’s weird. I just think saying congratulations is home training and cordial,” she continued. “That’s it. And the whole thing was awkward… It’s okay. I know I didn’t say anything wrong. I know I didn’t say anything wrong,” she added, reassuring both herself and followers that the temporary exchange had been blown out of proportion.
She also adopted up in TheNeighborhoodTalk’s feedback part, accusing followers of blowing issues out of proportion. The songstress also inspired followers to watch the second season of Cooking Sessions With Tamar & Miss E on CleoTV, which premiered on Wednesday, and her movie Stepfather on Tubi.
“Yall are draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagging this. yall watch me and Mommie cooking show yet? Or my film #the stepfather… or all of Dinner with Tamar is bought out besides for New York…. It only have a few seat and don’t miss it!!!
