K. Michelle Threatens to “Handle” Tamar Braxton On Sight—And Cam Newton Tried to Stop the Crash-Out
Whew—K. Michelle is choosing chaos, and her target? None other than longtime rival Tamar Braxton.
The R&B singer was a recent guest on Cam Newton’s podcast when things took a spicy turn—and we’re not talking about vocals. During the interview, K. Michelle reignited her years-long beef with Tamar, making it clear that if she ever runs into her… it’s on sight.
And yes, she meant that literally.
In the now-viral clip, K. Michelle doesn’t hold back, claiming Tamar has “always been nasty” to her and has thrown shade for years without consequence. She doubled down on her readiness to confront her nemesis physically, saying she’s tired of being the bigger person.
“I’ma tell you this, and y’all can use this,” K. Michelle said. “If I ever see Tamar… it’s on sight. Because she keeps playing with me. Always has something slick to say.”
It wasn’t long before she referred to Tamar as a “muppet”—a nickname she’s used before that’s just as shady now as it was back then.
To his credit, Cam Newton, who’s clearly used to drama on the field, tried to play peacemaker off it. You can see the former NFL quarterback visibly uncomfortable, jumping in mid-rant to defuse the situation and stop K from spiraling live on air.
“Hold on, hold on, hold on,” Cam interjected, clearly trying to steer the convo back into safer territory. But K was already in the deep end.
Let’s rewind: the tension between K. Michelle and Tamar Braxton goes way back. The two famously feuded during the golden days of reality TV, with snipes exchanged on red carpets, Twitter, and TV appearances. Fans had assumed the beef cooled down in recent years—Tamar focused on her healing journey, and K. Michelle on her music and personal growth.
But clearly, that peace treaty expired.
And while some fans are living for the drama (because let’s be honest—R&B feuds always hit different), many on social media are pointing out that this isn’t the flex it seems. Black women in music constantly face pressure to feud and fight for attention in a way their male counterparts don’t, and moments like this only fuel the mess.
Still, K. Michelle isn’t backing down—at least not yet. Tamar, for her part, hasn’t responded publicly (and honestly, she might want to keep it that way).
Whether this turns into a full-blown feud revival or just another spicy headline remains to be seen. But for now, the internet is clutching its pearls and grabbing popcorn.
One thing’s for sure: K. Michelle meant what she said—and Cam Newton might need a new conflict management plan for future guests.
