Tamar Braxton’s 48th birthday on March 17 took an unexpected turn when a seemingly sweet Instagram shoutout from her sister, Toni Braxton, sparked a public spat.
The R&B diva accused the living legend of throwing shade and “gaslighting” her, reigniting whispers of tension between the Braxton sisters.
Toni, 57, posted a birthday message for Tamar on Instagram, writing:
“Wanted to repost that GORGEOUS picture of you, but I’m blocked, again?? Anyway, Happy Birthday Tay.”

The playful jab about being blocked set social media abuzz, prompting Tamar to clap back in the comments:
“Or, you could’ve called. #Gaslighting.” The exchange hinted at deeper friction beneath the surface.
Later that day, Tamar doubled down on her own Instagram, eager to squash the drama on her special day.
“Y’all gone stop playing with me…it’s my birthday. I’m celebrating with my friends and not bothering a soul.” She also shared a screenshot of a text exchange with Toni on her IG Story, adding, “You did it to be mean like we don’t talk. Happy birthday to me anyway.”

As of now, Toni has stayed silent on Tamar’s accusations, leaving fans to speculate about the state of their sisterly bond. The two have had their share of ups and downs over the years, often documented on reality TV, but this latest exchange points to unresolved strain.
Still, Tamar didn’t let the squabble dim her birthday glow. She posted a series of sultry photos, flaunting her “baawwddyyy” and reflecting on her milestone.
“It’s my MF Birthday!” she captioned one snap. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m so humble, will always be, but in this chapter I’ll never dim my light so others can shine. This time, I’m remembering who tf I am! Cause I almost forgot! -THEE Tamar Braxton #sttamarsday #chapter48.” Another post celebrated her resilience, proving she’s determined to shine at 48.
