The drama surrounding Tamar Braxton’s recent health scare and her subsequent announcement of a new EP, ‘Heartbreak Retrograde,’ has ignited a fiery response from social media personality Funky Dineva. Dineva feels he was unfairly targeted and used as “collateral damage” in what he describes as a “2-bit PR stunt.”
From Friend to ‘Collateral Damage’
The controversy began when Braxton posted an alarming message about waking up in a “pool of blood” with injuries. Dineva, who was reportedly the last person seen with Braxton before the incident, faced backlash for his initial comments on his YouTube show, where he claimed he didn’t know what happened to her and referred to her dismissively. This led to public speculation and criticism, especially since Braxton was considered a friend.
Dineva also mentioned that Braxton had reached out to him asking for Dr. Heavenly’s number and mentioning lost teeth, but then stopped responding when he inquired further. The situation intensified when Braxton announced her new EP, ‘Heartbreak Retrograde,’ complete with a trailer featuring Mendeecees Harris and, notably, Funky Dineva himself, grinning alongside Braxton and Lore’l.
Dineva’s Public Outburst
Feeling betrayed and used, Funky Dineva took to Instagram to express his outrage. He stated, “When I get through reading Tamar Braxton a** down to da ground, I don’t wanna hear sh*t!!” He elaborated on his feelings, explaining that he was “ate up alive” over his birthday weekend while Braxton was seemingly fine. He expressed frustration that her “tired a** music video for this raggedy EP that don’t nobody want” could lead people to believe he was involved in a PR stunt.
Directly addressing Braxton, Dineva wrote, “@tamarbraxton you ain’t even gone try to clear any of this up and tell these people I didn’t do anything to you or know what happened. I was accused of NOT BEING A FRIEND TO YOU. When at the end of the day, it was YOU NOT BEING A FRIEND TO ME!! I didn’t deserve any of this and I’m deeply hurt!”
Tamar Braxton’s Silence
As of now, Tamar Braxton has not publicly responded to Funky Dineva’s accusations. Whether the health scare and subsequent EP announcement were indeed a coordinated PR stunt remains unconfirmed. The situation has certainly stirred up a lot of conversation and speculation among fans.
