Well… Tamar Braxton had something to say. 👀 After that VERY awkward Essence Fest moment — where Tamar reached across Monica to grab Kandi Burruss's hand and got the side-eye of the century — Kandi captioned it "side eyeing while keeping it classy." Now Tamar seems to be clapping back at BOTH Kandi and Monica, and the internet is running with it. We break down exactly what Tamar said and whether this is about to turn into a whole thing.
Then we get into the FULL history so you know why this runs so deep — the 2017 Great Xscape Tour tension, the Celebrity Big Brother blowup, the Old Lady Gang comments, the "don't lie on me" era, and everything in between. Kandi vs. Tamar has YEARS of receipts, and Monica's caught in the middle.
So tell me 👇 Is Tamar in her feelings, or does she have a point? Team Tamar or Team Kandi?
