ILOSM family, it seems as though the beef between the Braxton sisters has caused yet another situation among the singers. This time around, Toni Braxton was thrown up into the mix and apparently had to make a tough decision. Word on the Old School curb is that soon-to-be-Mrs. Birdman ‘Respeck on my name’ Williams, had to kick one of her sisters off of her upcoming tour. And get this- it ain’t THAT sister- you know, the one who’s usually at the center of their drama…
Which Sis’ Toni Kicked Off Tour
As we all have heard by now, Tamar Braxton done stirred up all kinds of drama with her sisters, over her soon-to-be-ex-husband, Vincent Herbert. She recently accused her sisters and mother of attempting to paint a scrub-like image of Vince on their upcoming episodes of “Braxton Family Values.”
Her sisters have publicly hit back at Tamar’s claims and the tension among the ladies is apparently ongoing. That’s where Toni’s latest move comes in. Apparently, she’s decided to keep the reported ‘fire starter,’ Tamar on the tour and kick Traci off instead:
Via TMZ– Toni’s hitting the road with “Sex & Cigarettes,” her first solo album in 8 years, and sisters Tamar and Traci were set to be opening acts until Traci was pulled from the bill this week. Toni’s offered no official reason for the change, but sources connected to the fam believe Tamar’s behind the axing. […]
We’re told Traci’s been working on a new album and intended to perform some of those songs on the tour … so, she doesn’t think Toni would 86 her on her own. Still, Tamar’s team is denying she had anything to do with it.

This leaves many with several questions:
(1) Do you think self proclaimed “petty” diva, Tamar, actually had something to do with Traci being given the boot?
(2) Did Toni succumb to the pressure and simply chose to keep the more ‘popular’ singing sister -Tamar- on the tour, for a bigger show turnout?
(3) Or did Toni think Traci wasn’t quite ready -from a show performance standpoint- to open up for her yet?
The answer could be one, or all three of those choices, but at this point Toni B. and is keepin’ that info on the low.

Traci Braxton Still Has Reason To Celebrate In MAJOR Way
Traci also has a good reason to celebrate, despite getting booted off Toni’s tour. As we previously reported, Traci’s about to become a grandmother for the first time. Her son, Kevin Surrant Jr. and his girlfriend are expecting. Even though Traci jokingly admitted that she was pissed off and wanted to “punch” them when they first told her they were pregnant, she’s elated about her new grandbaby now.
Traci and her husband, Kevin Durrant Sr., recently threw a baby shower for the expecting parents. In a photo posted online, Traci and the fam’ prayed over the expecting mother, with a caption that read:
A family that prays together stays together .. the next generation to the family is almost here!! @braxton.family.values .. it’s baby time!!! #KevinJr #Oliviah #BabyShowerLove
