Tamar Braxton: Battle of The Ex's

Since the hospitalization of Tamar Braxton, her ex's Vincent Herbert and David Adefeso battle it out amongst themselves in regards to what's the best care plan for Tamar. In a previous statement reported by TheShadeRoom, "Tamar alleges that David attempted to kill her after a heated altercation leading him to say that they were going to end up in a murder-suicide". 

After David Adefeso has made several public posts expressing his love for Tamar Braxton, and what kind of person she is, he has flipped the script by claiming his Queen is abusing him. According to YourBlackWorld, "David Adefeso has filed a restraining order against the 43-year-old singer for domestic violence at Stanley Mosk Courthouse in Los Angeles. He also claimed that Tamar is suffering from depression".

Ongoing Youtube coverage shows Vincent Herbert does not have tolerance for any man to disrespect his ex-wife and mother of his son. According to TheShadeRoom, "Several sources have speculated that Tamar Braxton and Vincent are allegedly back together after reports of an altercation between both ex's; which resulted in a no-win battle for David Adefeso after Vincent Herbert dished out an elbow to the face and a leg slam to David's body." 

According to TheShadeRoom, it's alleged that Vincent told David, “We are not friends. And we will never be after hearing how you treated Tamar on Sunday. My conversation with you yesterday was respectful and honest and you never mentioned what you said to her, how you threatened her, then called the police on her as if it wasn’t you on the tape that I heard threatening to kill Logan’s mother”.

Tamar Braxton: Look At Me Now!

In a statement by the Atlanta Black Star, "Tamar Braxton had tongues wagging on Saturday, May 1, 2021, after the singer displayed her snatched figure in a new video while sharing the significance of loving yourself. Braxton, who was wearing a black bodysuit with sheer stockings, is seen twirling around in a circle, excitedly shouting “Period!” In the caption, the “Let Me Know” vocalist expressed how much she loved herself and her body despite wanting to naturally enhance her backside. She said, “I remember I intentionally wanted a flat ass(y’all could have told me I was tripping)…now I’m naturally working on a little bubble. And guess what? I love myself soooo much more today …Anyway- This is a dump of me and my AMAZING friends at a photoshoot”.

Aside from Braxton appreciating her snatched figure, the singer has been showing gratitude for all aspects of her life. In March, during her birthday month, Braxton gave fans a little more insight into where she is currently in her personal life by posting clips of her tiny frame and sharing an encouraging message. As stated by the Atlanta Black Star, "In the caption, the “Love and War” songstress brought up although things may not be perfect, she is doing “great,” considering after everything she’s endured the past couple of years". The mother of one said, “I’m grey.. but I’m GREAT I’m not broke.. but I’m not rich as I’m gonna to be I’m not perfect.. but I’m under construction… I’m not tired… I’m ready.. and I’ve been working on myself as soon as someone made me feel like I wasn’t good enough. (that was my trigger& motivation) I worked every day until that wasn’t even a thought.”

As a fellow Tamartian, I only wish the best for this talented Diva. This Queen needs to get her flowers she deserves while she is still here. She is one of the original authentic voices we have left. Check the records, there is no other female RNB vocalist that sounds like Tamar or comes close. #YesISaidIt  Stay Positive Queen we are all rooting for you!

JonesOffspring: The Return of Odysseyfluxx

Freeport, N.Y. – Kings and Queens Radio’s own DJ_Jhayla_Experience sits down with Odysseyfluxx as he talks about his return to music, his EP in progress and his clothing line JonesOffspring.

  1. Thank you for your time, when did you start your musical/artistic Journey?

Music evolved from my experience with seeing tag art and trying to duplicate what I saw when I was six, each letter had its own expression. So naturally music incorporated itself growing up in the boroughs of New York City.

2. Who was the first to support your natural talents?

It was my mother first, who would notice my drawings and boast about them. Before I knew what a fan was, I was born with the ultimate cheerleader, Veronica Jones. May she rest in peace, as I continue to create music she has never heard, I work hard everyday to make her proud.

3. What is JonesOffspring?

Jonesoffspring is an urban clothing line that is for the original Black Kings and Queens of the world. I wanted to leave my sons Devin and Donnie a legacy, and part ownership in a company that they are not answering to or being devalued by the “White man”. I incorporate my drawings into customized hats, T-shirts, boots, sweatsuits, jackets, etc…

4. If you don’t mind me asking, how old are you?

I just turned 44 this past July. Yeah I know I look young.

5. Are you working on anything right now?

I just finished my music video for my single Cooking Up – Feat. Qmorrocco. I have an one-minute teaser circulating on Youtube. My EP Dreaming With My Eyes Open is complete and will be dropping early spring of 2021. I am working on other projects, I just can’t say too much about them right now.

6. Have you had any past success in the industry?

Yes, I was signed in 1992 as a duo rapping group called Young Tunz, I had an opportunity to go on tour in Arizona when I was 17 years-old. Life’s ups and downs happened, and my sons came along and I didn’t want to be the dad on the road missing out on being there for my sons.

            

7. What do you consider to be your genre of rap?

It’s definitely not mumble rap… I consider my music to be conscious rap, cursing is minimal.

8. How do you feel about returning to music after almost after a decade of being m.i.a.?

I feel like my time is now considering the music that’s out right now. My craft is stronger than ever and I have a strong management team, and my sons are old enough to appreciate what I do.

9. Do you have any life Quotes?

My mother always told me to be the best at whatever I was going to be. “If you want to be a basketball player be the best basketball player in the world, if you want to be a garbage man, be the best garbage man in the world.”

10. Do you have anything to say to aspiring artists, and where can the fans find you?

Never give up on your dreams, there your dreams for a reason. I can be reached on Facebook @DumaineJones, and @OS1560 and @DumaineJones on Instagram. You can listen to my music @The_Jhayla_Experience on Youtube. I'm also on Kings and Queens Radio Podcast which can be found on Spotify and Apple. My past and present music is now playing on Zeno.fm/kings-and-queens-radio.
