Tamar Braxton critiques K Michelle country music praises Beyoncé
Tamar Braxton recently sparked controversy by commenting on fellow artists transitioning into country music. In a candid discussion, she applauded Beyoncé’s foray into the genre with her album “Cowboy Carter,” but cast doubt on whether all artists, notably K. Michelle, should follow suit. This commentary digs into a longstanding tension between Braxton and K. Michelle, rooted in a history of public disputes.
K. Michelle, who has been vocal about her passion for country music, represents a rare crossover into a genre that has seen few Black female artists. Despite her efforts, Braxton’s skepticism points to a broader discussion about authenticity and genre boundaries in music.
Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter has been successful, blending her R&B roots with country influences, showcasing the genre’s evolving inclusivity. This juxtaposition between Beyoncé’s acclaim and K. Michelle’s struggles highlights the challenges and double standards artists face in genre experimentation.
Braxton’s comments have reignited her past issues with K. Michelle. Previously, the ladies put an end to their issues, hugging it out at the BET Awards. However, this conflicts with what Tamar said on the “We Sound Crazy” podcast. Here, Tamar lauded Beyoncé for her efforts with Cowboy Carter making forays into country music. While Tamar never mentioned K. Michelle by name, when she said some Black artists shouldn’t do country, fans immediately thought of K.
