The post After Toni Braxton Confirms If She Married Birdman, Tamar Braxton, Calls Her Out appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

When Toni Braxton married Mint Condition’s then keyboardist, Keri Lewis, in 2001, it seemed like the fairytale wedding. As fans glanced at photos of their Atlanta wedding in magazines and such, little did we know, there was a lot of drama behind the scenes of the fairytale ceremony.

Keri and Toni’s marriage technically lasted for 13 years, but they separated by the 8 year mark in 2009. After separating, it seemed like there was hope for reconciliation, because they took hella long to go through with their divorce – 4 more years to be exact- and they were still very close. But they decided to make their divorce official in 2013. Now that they’ve moved on with their lives, new details behind some of the drama that took place behind the scenes have surfaced.

For years, there had been whispers that Keri’s former band members were pissed off when Keri married Toni Braxton. Now, Mint Condition’s lead singer, Stokley Williams, has confirmed that the group members were so heated, that all of them (except Stokley) refused to attend Toni’s and Keri’s wedding. They weren’t being petty for no reason though, after hearing what Stokley revealed, they had a good reason to be.

In an interview with Vlad TV, Stokley revealed that Keri and Toni B. met when they were an opening act for her back in the day. Everything was all good, until a short while later, Keri told them he’d fallen in love with Toni and therefore was saying ‘Peace out’ to the group…forever. Wow…Ms. Braxton must be a helluva woman to make a brotha decide to give up his ENTIRE career, just sayin.’

Anywho, not only did Keri’s sudden departure sting his group members -because they were like family and felt betrayed- it also briefly affected the fate of the group’s future. According to Stokley, after Keri split quicker than we could say “Unbreak my heart,” it caused Mint Condition’s signature live band sound to change.

Their fans apparently didn’t adapt as quickly to that change and it showed in record sales at that time. Therefore, their outrage was understandable, because y’all already know- family or not- when somebody messes with one’s livelihood, it does NOT sit too well in one’s soul. In fact, it’ll make a person wanna reach out and touch somebody- and not in the way that Diana meant it.

After all of the drama, Stokley ended up attending the wedding because he still wanted to represent for his Mint Condition brotha on his big day.

These days, we’re not sure if the other Mint Condition members have completely forgiven Keri Lewis after kicking them to the curb for Toni Braxton. However, now that Keri and Toni are divorced, I wonder if Keri now regrets giving up everything for his ex. One thing’s for sure, Toni is happy and crazy in love with her fiancé  Birdman, so there probably are no regrets on her end.

A few years ago, there was a very popular meme featuring New Orleans hip hop legend, Bryan ‘Birdman’ Williams, where he was asking for folks to put some ‘respeck’ (just as it’s spelled) on his name. It was in reference to the now infamous interview he’d done during the highly popular radio show, The Breakfast Club, when he decided to check the hostss for what he felt was disrespect over the years. Since that epic interview, he hasn’t really spoken about why he acted the way he did. Also, since Birdman (or Baby as he’s ‘respeckfully’ known throughout the rap game) presumably answers to no one, people have never gotten clarity on the matter. Now, years later, Birdman is clearing up his stance on morning radio talk shows and how he feels about them, and of course since he is the New Orleans OG -who everyone knows and loves- the Cash Money mogul held nothing back in his response.

Classic Hip Hop Moment

The interview took place back in 2016, when The Breakfast Club hosts invited Birdman for an interview on the show. However, when they initially believed Birdman would likely be attending alone, he came through with a whole Goon Squad- a move the hosts probably thought was weird. At that time, Birdman kept it very short with his reason for participating in the interview. During his tense exchanges with hosts, Angela Yee, DJ Envy, and Charlamagne Tha God, he snaped at them with this brief proclamation:.

“Stop playin’ with my name … Put some respeck on my name.”

Birdman never made it clear, exactly what he was so pissed off about. When the hosts tried to ask for an explanation, Birdman simply said, “I wanted to look you right in the face, like a man, and tell you how I feel.”

Afterwards, Birdman and his crew rolled out, and the interview was never referenced again. Until now….

The post Birdman Finally Addresses The Infamous Interview Where He Asked For ‘Respeck’ appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

Put Some Respeck on my name!

Birdman, aka Baby, sat down with former rapper Noreaga are and DJ EFN at Drink Champs, Happy Hour podcast interview. One-half of the Happy Hour host duo Noreaga sure knows how to make a guest feel special. He opened up the interview giving praises and listing Birdman’s accomplishment throughout the years.

Noreaga started by saying: “They wanted to interview legends, people who have been in the game 10 years or more that are making a mark, he is one of the most remarkable CEO’s, he has changed so many people from the hoods lives, made them millionaires, made them stars, right now got the three hottest people in the world still signed to him going through a couple of different decades…”

Birdman looked very pleased with that introduction, a stark difference from when he entered the radio station for that now infamous Breakfast Club interview back in 2016. Birdman speaks on controversial moments with artists and people in the industry. 

Birdman spoke about his fallout with Lil Wayne:

“I always looked at him as a son, so how could I ever disrespect him? That wouldn’t be a man, that wouldn’t be a father. I could never disrespect someone I called my kid, my son. We talked a couple of times. That was important to me… I started with Wayne. I gave my all to my son and he gave his all to me. For me to continue doing this business I had to fix that with him.”

The situation with Tyga 

“That’s a whole nother movie. That’s a whole nother situation. But I always did great by Tyga. I put millions in his pocket. I ain’t never violated that young man ever, to speak in my name in vain in any kind of way. I always stood solid with him.”

When Birdman and Toni Braxton announced their engagement a few years ago many people believed that it was an odd pairing since the two celebrities come from such different backgrounds.

However, their relationship has been going strong. Unfortunately, earlier this year breakup rumors began to surface causing many to wonder; are they still together or nah? Birdman has answered that question with a resounding “Hell Yes!”

The Two of Them Were Friends for Years First

During a 2018 appearance on The Wendy Williams Show Birdman revealed to host Wendy Williams that he and Toni have known each other for almost two decades, reaching back to when the two of them performed together on Birdman’s 2002 single ‘Baby You Can Do It’. When Wendy asked if he and Toni were a couple (or in Wendy’s own words if the two of them were having sex) he answered with “That’s my love, my soldier, my life. She’s my everything.  She’s my life. I love her to death”. As beautiful as his statement sounds there may have been trouble in paradise for the two of them a few months ago. Billboard reported back in January that Birdman and Toni may have called it quits.

On Tuesday (Jan. 2), both Braxton and Birdman posted cryptic messages on their respective Instagram accounts hinting at the possible demise of their relationship. First, Birdman posted and deleted an Instastory that read “It’s over.” He also deleted photos of him and Braxton from his page.

Toni followed Birdman’s post with one of her own, rocking a sexy red gown with a message that made some folks tilt their heads to the side and say “Uh Oh”

Could it be possible that one of our favorite couples decided to stop with their duet and become solo acts in the game of musical chairs called love?

The post Toni Braxton and Birdman Break-Up Rumors Surface, Birdman Responds appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

Toni Braxton’s Tuesday has been in a topsy-turvy after what just went down with her prized possessions on a Delta Airline flight. And one thing is probably certain, her fiance’ Bryan Birdman “Put Some Respeck On My Name” Williams, is probably pissed off to the highest level of pissivity!

What Had Happened Was…

What happened was Toni took a flight to somewhere on a Delta Airlines plane. Apparently while on it, she was unaware that her Louis Vuitton luggage went missing. At this point, it’s unclear if her luggage was missing before or after her plane took off. But that’s neither here nor there, because there’s currently a much bigger issue on her hand and it ain’t her precious, high-end luggage. It’s that multi-million dollar ROCK Birdman put on her let ring finger when he proposed!

Yep, you guessed it- her engagement ring (which Toni nicknamed ‘Bonnie’) is missing. How so, you ask? Well, according to Toni B., the ring was in her LV luggage, which also went missing earlier Tuesday. Here’s the first thing she tweeted out:

@tonibraxton: “Hey @Delta I left my LV train case on my flight from JFK to LAX on Tuesday. It’s been impossible to get any type of assistance from anyone in the company! Can someone let delta know I’m trying to get in contact w/them?I’ve tried to no avail 😔 pls help you’re my favorite airlines.”

The half good news, is that Toni has now posted a second online message, stating that she has received her luggage back. HOWEVER, the bad news is that her engagement ring is gone in the wind, along with some other expensive pieces. Now, she’s asking the public to be on the lookout for it. Here’s what she posted on social media a little while ago:

@tonibraxton: “Hey everyone, @delta located my LV Train Case! Yay! Unfortunately most of my jewelry items are missing…including MY ENGAGEMENT RING! Whoever BORROWED it…PLEEEASE return it!!!! 😞😥 I promise, no questions asked!”

Question: How in the hell did Toni’s mega-rock a.k.a. ‘Bonnie’ end up off of her left ring finger and not only inside of her luggage bag- but inside a luggage back she actually checked in before her flight, and allowed out of her sight?!!

Geesh! I know love is blind and totally not about material things, but Birdman’s probably somewhere a tad ticked off over his fiancee’s multi-million dollar ‘slip up’ right about now. Regardless of whatever insurance he has on the ring, nor how many millions the brotha has in the bank, it’s just the principal of it all…just saying. Hopefully, some good samaritan will return Toni’s ring ASAP.

Toni Braxton stunned everybody and their mommas a few months ago, when she confirmed that she her “#1 Stunna” boo-thang, Birdman, officially became her fiancees. Well, it’s now been months since the Cash Money mogul has placed that big rock on Toni B.’s finger, yet there are still zero plans on when they’ll be taking that big walk down the aisle, that one could only imagine will be a lavish blend of rose petals, mink fur, red everything (Birdman’s signature Blood gang affiliated color), and diamond encrusted everything.

Okay, I’ve just projected my visions of a #1 Stunna type wedding, but at this point I’m probably getting ahead of myself anyhow, because based on what Toni has just revealed, it’s uncertain if there will even be a wedding in the near future.

Toni Tells Why They’re Not Married Yet

In a recent episode of “Braxton Family Values,” Toni Braxton chopped it up with her sisters about why she’s had to constantly push her wedding back. She and Birdman have yet to move forward with wedding plans after their lengthy engagement, which by the way, was even longer than most of us ever knew:

“Y’all gotta help me with the wedding,” Toni told Towanda and Trina. “I don’t have a wedding date. B (Birdman) and I got engaged seven months ago, but we haven’t set a date because of my schedule. I hate that. You’re supposed to set a date and stick to it. But unfortunately in our business it can be challenging sometimes.”

— We TV (@WEtv) August 20, 2018

When it comes to love, sometimes, tour dates, business meetings, and public appearances have to take a back seat, just saying.

In an equally interesting revelation, Toni stated that they originally wanted their wedding date to be August 8, 2018 (8-8-18) and Toni’s sisters revealed that Birdman wanted to tattoo those numbers onto his forehead. Not sure if her sisters were right about that latter revelation, but it isn’t farfetched for the brotha because he’s been tatted up for years. So, a new forehead decoration would fit right in with the rest of ’em.

Anywho, Toni and Birdman have come too far- in spite of all of the ‘Say what now’s?’ and ‘Are they REALLY a thing?’ type questions they’ve received from many- to allow themselves to stall the marriage process now. Their fans are ready to sit back with their popcorn and be entertained by what we already know will be one of the most stunna-fied (not a real word, but y’all get it), blinged out weddings of the century.

On a side note, ILOSM family do y’all think somebody’s getting cold feet, or nah?

The Photo That’s Causing Fans To React

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bi5vgW3h1Vr/?hl=en&taken-by=hollywoodunlocked

Toni recently shared a photo of herself, glammed up and seated in a car. Ordinarily her sensual pose and gaze into the camera, would have been all the talk, but it was her nose that became the topic of many. Although fans gave her props for looking good, they are also accusing Toni of having had a nose job and going too far with the plastic surgery.

One commenter wrote,  “Looks great…no more nose work though…unless she going to go back and add some..🙄. While another said, “smh cmon Toniiii! We was rooting for you!”

But one commenter, stated that the slimmer nose, may not be due to plastic surgery, but rather an indirect result of her Lupus: “t’s filter and a lot of makeup …it’s what us Lupus ppl do to hide days when our face swells and puff up.”

The Status On Toni & Birdman’s Relationship

Toni and her Cash Money mogul bae, Birdman, are still going just as strong as ever. They’re happily engaged and reportedly planning their wedding. Although they’re love seems weird to some, Toni and Mr. ‘Respeck on my name’ couldn’t care less what folks have to say.

In fact, the “Un-break My Heart” singer is still gushing about her man in interviews and such. During a recent People interview, Toni reminisced about all the things that made her fall in love with Birdman. Turns out, Birdman helped her celebrate some of the most precious times of her marriage to Keri Lewis (formerly of Mint Condition)- their kids’ baby showers.

“He’s been my bestie for like 15 or 16 years,” Braxton tells People in this week’s issue of the rapper. “He has come to my baby showers, my plays, my shows. I never thought we would be dating or getting married.”

Years later, Birdman became Toni’s number one supporter, as she tried to battle Lupus disease, while maintaining her career. She admitted that she found it “comforting to have someone tell you it’s okay to be ill and that you don’t have to be Wonder Woman at all times.” Then Birdman eventually made his move on Toni in 2016, which surprised the hell outta her:

“In 2016, I was doing a little tour just testing the market [to see] how far my endurance could go – and I got ill just before we went out,” Braxton says of the beginning of their relationship, when rumors first sparked after they were spotted getting cozy at the 2016 BET Awards. “Every day I had a show, he came,” she adds. “Every night he would ask me, ‘Are you okay? Are you good?’ I said, ‘Oh my God, he’s such a great guy!’” When Birdman finally made his move, “He told me he always liked me and I was like, ‘You never told me!’ And he’s like, ‘Well, you were married!’ He said, ‘I was always digging you.’”

New nose, or no new nose, we’re happy to see a smile on Toni’s face. Can’t wait to see the future Mr. and Mrs. Birdman’s wedding pictures soon.

The post Fans Accuse Toni Braxton Of Too Much Plastic Surgery After Her Latest Photo appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

For months, there’s been lots of speculation about Toni Braxton’s relationship with Birdman. It all started when Tamar shared a questionable post on Instagram, but quickly deleted it. Now, the “You’re Makin’ Me High” singer is confirming what fans have been wondering for months and it’s all going to unfold on the upcoming episodes of Braxton Family Values.

In Love and Engaged:

The new trailer for season six of Braxton Family Values has definitely turned quite a few heads. The 30-second clip captures Toni Braxton flashin’ that huge rock she’s been wearing lately, and she finally confirmed what fans have been thinkin’ for a while. She and Birdman are engaged. As expected, the ladies were all smiles for Toni, but as the clip continued, there were also quick glimpses of Tamar and Vince’s downward troubled marriage. By now, most fans know that Tamar and Vince have been at the center of controversy for months and now all of the drama will play out on the upcoming season of the show. Needless to say, the new season of Braxton Family Values will be one for the history books.

Check out the trailer:

Droppin’ Hints:

Although Toni Braxton initially denied the engagement rumors, her sister Tamar had been droppin’ hints all over social media. According to Celebrity Insider, Tamar has been calling the five-star stunna her brother-in-law for months, which led fans to believe Toni and Birdman were either engaged or already secretly married. Of course, Tamar’s statement led to tons of questions for Toni. During a recent interview, Toni adamantly refuted the rumors claiming Tamar just has a “big mouth.” But this time, it looks like Tamar was just spillin’ the tea and tellin’ it like it is.

Congratulations to Toni Braxton and Birdman! Braxton Family Values is set to return this March only on WeTV!

The post (Video) Toni Braxton Finally Confirms Engagement To Birdman appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

We reported a while back, that Toni had mysteriously appeared with a beautiful, gigantic diamond on her left ring finger, at the 2017 Soul Train Music Awards and in Dubai months ago. Then, it somehow mysteriously vanished in her many photos thereafter, without any explanation by the “Unbreak My Heart” songstress.

Bling, Bling!

Welp folks, lo and behold…our girl, Toni B., and her diamond resurfaced at the film premiere for, Faith Under Fire: The Antoinette Tuff Story. Toni is starring in that film, but on the red carpet for the premiere that was held at NeueHouse Madison Square in NYC, her ring stole the show.

She and Birdman posed for pics and Toni looked hella sexy as always. Her man gave his signature poker faced glare for the cameras and her diamond was bling-blingin’ like Birdman’s ‘son,’ Lil Wayne.

Was Tamar Right?

Although neither Birdman, nor Toni answered questions about the diamond on her ‘I’m spoken for’ finger, it has managed to spark rumors, yet again, that they may be married on the low. Remember when we told y’all that Tamar Braxton claimed on The Wendy Williams Show, that her big sis and Birdman had jumped the broom? Tamar even went as far as to refer to Toni as Mrs. Braxton-Williams, Birdman’s last name, on social media.

https://youtu.be/AaGVAaGylgQ?t=8m12s

We don’t know if Tamar’s claims are true or not, but one thing is clear, Toni looks at her man like she’s singing her “I Love Me Some Him” song lyrics to him in her mind every time.

Who would’ve thunk it, right? Toni Braxton, the church girl-turned classy R&B legend, dating and/or possibly marrying Birdman, the tatted up gangsta-turned hip hop mogul. Just goes to show that opposites really do attract, wishing Toni Braxton and Bryan ‘Respeck On it’ “Birdman” Williams many years of happiness.
