This weekend (tonight and Saturday night), Snoop Dogg‘s autobiographical stage production “Redemption of a Dogg” will be in SoCal and if you plan on going, beware that Tamar Braxton, who co-stars, might start trippin’. Yes, we know, there’s nothing new about Tamar trippin’. But here’s the deal. She did just that this past Sunday night when the play stopped in D.C. and caused serious problems for all involved.
OK, now that we have your attention, you’re wondering what happened? Well, theJasmineBrand is reporting that Braxton allegedly refused to go on stage for the show’s second act due her food not being able to get past security.
The story goes that according to a source, a friend of Braxton was attempting to deliver the food, but never made it due to security not allowing the friend backstage. The source also details how the combustible singer became hysterical and refused to take the stage to finish out the show.

Meanwhile, the regularly scheduled 15 minute intermission was extended to over an hour to deal with the situation, says the source”
“This isn’t my first rodeo as it pertains to live theater, but I’ve never, ever seen anyone quit over something like this and disappoint their fans this way. She was completely hysterical and totally out of control. She kept screaming, She’s not here for this. Then saying, ‘I’m so sick of this s**t.’ Then she said, ‘you can do this damn show without her,’ again, addressing herself in the third person.”
So, that meant that Braxton’s character, Angel, had to be played by one of the show’s dancers, and “American Idol” finalist LaToya London ended up singing Braxton’s songs off stage. At that point there needed to be an excuse for the audience, so the show’s creator and director, Je’Caryous Johnson, told the paying customers that Braxton could make the final curtain call because she was experiencing an emergency.
The report goes on to say that neither Braxton nor Snoop have publicly spoken about the issue, but Tamar did promote the show’s tonight’s show at the Microsoft Theater on Instagram:
Oh yeah, one last thing. The report made mention of this one important, critical fact: prior to the delivery, security was unaware the food was supposed to be delivered.
Oops.
