  • New Edition, Boyz II Men & Toni Braxton Tour!

    Hold onto your hats, R&B fans! This is not a drill: three of the most iconic names in music history are joining forces for a tour that promises to be an absolute dream. New Edition, Boyz II Men, and Toni Braxton are set to hit the road together in 2026 for what’s being called “The New Edition Way” tour, and it’s going to be legendary.

    An Unprecedented Musical Collaboration

    Believe it or not, despite their massive success and shared genre, New Edition and Boyz II Men have never officially toured together. That all changes in 2026! The groups, responsible for countless hits like “Mr. Telephone Man” and “End of the Road,” will share the stage for an “original music experience.”

    But the star power doesn’t stop there. The incomparable Toni Braxton, known for her sultry voice and timeless hits like “Un-Break My Heart,” is also headlining the tour. The artists themselves described the unique setup in a promo video: “All three of us on the same stage, every night. Not taking turns. Actually performing together. No barriers, no separation – an original music experience.”

    An Immersive 360° Experience

    This isn’t just a concert; it’s designed to be an immersive experience. The tour will feature a dynamic 360° stage, allowing fans to get up close and personal with the artists. Gary Guidry, CEO of the Black Promoters Collective (BPC), which is presenting the tour, highlighted the significance of this collaboration.

    He stated, “You’re seeing artists who’ve shaped the culture come together to celebrate music that continues to stand the test of time.” This tour truly celebrates the enduring impact of these award-winning artists.

    Who’s Performing?

    Fans can expect all the original members of New Edition to be there: Ronnie DeVoe, Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell, Mike Bivins, Ralph Tresvant, and Johnny Gill. For Boyz II Men, Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Nathan Morris will be performing. While Michael McCary recently reunited with the group, his participation in the full tour remains to be seen.

    Toni Braxton, the essential “queen” to these “kings,” will be joining the 21-stop tour. Shelby Joyner, President of BPC, emphasized the tour’s spirit, noting, “This tour represents the spirit of collaboration, excellence, and respect for pristine artistry.”

  • The Braxtons Season 2 Trailer Drops!

    Get ready, because the trailer for Season 2 of ‘The Braxtons’ has officially dropped, and it looks like it’s packed with all the love, loss, and family drama we’ve come to expect! Toni, Towanda, Trina, Tamar, and matriarch Dr. Evelyn Braxton are back, promising a season that’s bigger, bolder, and more real than ever.

    Weddings, Grief, and Family Fireworks

    The official synopsis teases a season filled with “weddings, career wins, deep rifts, and real healing.” We’ll see Towanda planning her dream wedding to Sean Hall, but it’s not all smooth sailing. While Evelyn gushes about their love, the trailer quickly reveals that not everyone is on board to celebrate.

    Adding a layer of heartbreak, Toni is seen mourning the loss of her friend Angie Stone, who tragically passed away. Toni breaks down onstage, sharing her grief over Angie’s death, which clearly impacts the family dynamics.

    Tensions Run High

    The trailer highlights a significant rift within the family, particularly affecting Towanda’s bridal festivities. Toni calls to say she won’t be attending, leaving Towanda visibly disappointed. “Tensions are at an all-time high,” Towanda admits, warning Trina, “It’s not a line in the sand, it’s a line in the concrete.”

    The drama escalates further when niece Ashlee Braxton discusses the family feud on Tamar’s podcast. Later, at dinner, tensions boil over as Tamar slams a glass of water, leading to shouting and crew members stepping in to de-escalate the situation.

    Mark Your Calendars!

    If you’re ready for a dose of sisterly love, undeniable talent, and explosive confrontations, you won’t want to miss this. The Braxtons season 2 is set to premiere on Friday, October 10, at 8 p.m. ET on We TV.

    For those who prefer streaming, the season will also be available on ALLBLK and AMC+. Get ready for a season that promises to be as emotional as it is entertaining!
