Breaking Down the Beef Between Tamar Braxton and Kandi Burruss


1BlessedNatural: Breaking Down the Beef Between Tamar Braxton and Kandi Burruss
Story Updated! Do you know the difference between relevancy and success? Well, that topic fueled the argument between Tamar Braxton (Braxton Family Values) and Kandi Burruss ( The Real Housewives of Atlanta) on CBS' Celebrity Big Brother this week. Both Braxton and Burruss acknowledged in the first episode that they had past beef. I watched the dispute for myself to break down what happened.

Tamar asked about Kandi cooking after work and she inferred that she didn't have time because she was always getting invited to events. She said, "Everybody always wants you to show up for something." Kandi continued by saying that she asked her friends why they always wanted her to attend their events and Tamar replied, "Because you're relevant."

The conversation continued with Tamar trying to explain to Kandi the difference between relevancy and success, and that is where things started to go left! Kandi's argument was that there were a lot of successful people in Atlanta and Tamar said she was not talking about success. Tamar used Married to Medicine's Dr. Jackie Walters as an example of someone who had been doing reality TV shows but is more relevant now. Kandi explained that there are more successful reality TV shows in ATL that are doing well. Again, Tamar tried to explain that a successful TV show doesn't mean that all participants are relevant.

The examples flew back and forth. Kandi said the T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle was a relevant show. Tamar said no, it was Tiny who was relevant and then Kandi stated that people pay attention to co-stars singer Monica and Toya. Tamar started to get aggravated because she thought that Kandi was trying to be messy by mentioning her friends. She didn't want it to be perceived as her speaking negative about people.




My 2 Cents 

I think that both Tamar and Kandi didn't want to be perceived as talking bad about the other ladies or like they thought they were better. Tamar also feared that she was being made to look messy. She even said, "You're trying your best to make me look shady." However, I think Kandi really didn't understand the difference between success and being relevant, as co-star Ricky Williams suggested. 

I think the topic of the conversation was interesting because you don't normally see celebrities go into depth about relevancy and social media on reality TV. Tamar bought up some interesting things about people buying followers on social media but her fear of being misunderstood turned a good conversation into an argument. The beef between Tamar and Kandi is deeper than that conversation. 

I hope they can work it out! 

Episode 4 of Celebrity Big Brother will air tonight at 8:00pm PT/ET on CBS.

Aborigines and Melanesians: Naturally Blonde Hair and Dark Skin

Melanesia: Solomon Island girls (photo courtesy of the -cropped-Flickr- Australian Civil-Military Centre http://www.acmc.gov.au/ ) Naturally blonde hair is often associated with white or Caucasian people. However, there are groups of dark skin people who have naturally blonde hair also. Some of these groups include the Aboriginal Australians (Aborigines) and the Melanesians. I love this fact because it goes against the idea that one group or culture must look a certain way or stay in a certain category.  The Aborigines have dark skin. Some of them also have blonde hair which tends to be straight, but can be curly. Scientists first believed they were descendants of Eurasians. In 2011, scientists found evidence against the theory from a sample of natural hair. The sample of hair, which was said to be more than 100 years old, helped scientists determine that Aborigines were descendants of Africans. The New York Times confirmed this finding: "The Abo...

Asian Hair Trend: Afro Perms

Asian afro perm (photo courtesy of www.afrohair.net) When we talk about the topic of natural hair, we often talk about African-Americans or Black people perming their hair to look more like Caucasian or straight hair. But, what about people of other races attempting to make their hair kinky or textured like that of African-Americans? Afro perms, along with other Black hairstyles have been a long time trend in Asia. Because Asian hair grows naturally straight, the afro perm gives the hair a textured look. The afro perm is not an actual relaxer or perm kit, it's the use of perm rods to make the hair curly. The beautypot.com says, " An afro perm is made by not straightening the hair. It is made by creating hair bonds that make the hair curl. The hair stylist makes the hair into a new shape, using perming rods or rollers, and allows the new shape to develop ."

Priscilla Shirer Shares Her Natural Hair Story and Tips on IG Live!

Actress and minister of Going Beyond Ministries Priscilla Shirer shared her natural hair story and secrets on IG Live today. After receiving numerous questions about her long thick natural hair, she decided it was time to do a video. Shirer said, "I've decided that sometimes, to a woman, hair = ministry." Shirer started getting a perm at about 13 years old. During previous years, her mother would use the hot comb to straighten her hair. When Shirer was 24 years old, she noticed a circular patch of hair that had broken off on the side of her head. After she visited a doctor and they plucked a few strands from different parts of her hair, the doctor concluded that Shirer's hair was growing in healthy. However, it was something that she was doing to her hair that was making it break off. As a result, her doctor told her to stop relaxing her hair for 6 months. While driving home, Shirer had a breakthrough. She originally had no intention of following the doctor...
