Tamar Braxton is back in the headlines—but this time, she’s offering an olive branch. After publicly insulting Loni Love during a now-viral episode of NeNe Leakes’ podcast, Tamar took a moment during the 2025 BET Awards weekend to apologize and reflect on her actions.
🎤 Tamar Braxton Owns Up To Her Words
During an interview with Loren LoRosa, Tamar addressed the shady nickname she threw at Loni Love—“Big Back Cadillac”—a jab that didn’t sit well with fans or industry peers.
In an unexpected turn, the singer and reality TV star admitted that the moment was more “girlfriend kitchen talk” than intentional shade.
That is me being on NeNe’s show… I love NeNe. We have a lot of history.
But that is an interview I’m not so proud of.
There were cocktails involved, and I just feel like everything is not for the public.
Tamar acknowledged that in a more private setting, her words might’ve been understood as a joke.
But when broadcast to the world, it was just plain disrespectful.
🙏 A Public Apology To Loni Love
While she didn’t exactly cry into the mic, Tamar did take accountability for her actions:
I probably should say this out loud and in front of everybody… I apologize for calling her a Big Back Cadillac.
That was just a vulnerable moment. And I apologize, Loni.
She also said she’s open to having a real conversation with Loni Love that could potentially lead to reconciliation—something fans of “The Real” have been curious about since Tamar’s dramatic departure from the show.
🤔 What Went Wrong Between Tamar Braxton & Loni Love?
Tamar hinted that the betrayal she felt wasn’t just professional—it was personal.
She spoke about how Loni had supported her during a life-threatening moment, visiting her in the hospital and being a regular presence at her home.
But Tamar also alluded to discovering some “behind the scenes” dealings that left her feeling blindsided.
“Of course, as someone you would call your sister… you would be devastated.”
When asked if she ever reached out to Loni to talk things through, Tamar admitted she didn’t—because it was just “a lot.”

✨ Growth Or PR Clean-Up?
Tamar said she’s on a healing journey and wants to stand by her words moving forward.
She expressed disappointment in her past behavior and is striving to become someone she can be proud of.
And while that’s admirable, some folks on social media aren’t buying the rebrand.
Loni Love is better than me because I would have called Tamar a muppet quicker than the ghost of Jim Henson.
