Tamar Braxton has opened up about a terrifying health scare she suffered over the weekend. The R&B singer posted a message to her Instagram Story on Tuesday (Aug. 19), revealing she “almost died” on Sunday following a near-death encounter, which saw her found by a friend in a pool of blood.
Braxton is still searching for answers as to what exactly transpired but has a new perspective on life following the serious accident, which left her with a fractured nose and the loss of multiple teeth.
“I struggled to write this but everyone keeps calling me and honestly, I can’t even really talk anymore I’m so weak,” she wrote. “I almost died Sunday. I was found in a pool of blood from my friend with a face injury.”
The 48-year-old continued: “As the days go by the worse it is. I fractured my nose, lost some teeth and mobility. The way I look at life now is totally different. As my health is on the mend my mental journey begins.. pray for me for real I don’t even know what happened to me.”
Billboard reached out to Braxton’s reps for more details but hadn’t heard back at press time.
It’s still unclear what happened to Braxton, but the Maryland native is counting her blessings as Clavier’s “Spirit Lead Me” soundtracked the heartbreaking post to social media. She also posted a Bible passage and reposted a message thanking God for waking her up today.
Tamar Braxton had been active in 2025, hitting the road for a North American tour in the spring with October London. She also dropped off a single in May with “You on You” hitting streaming services and she performed at ESSENCE Festival in July.
Braxton’s been open about her health struggles in the past, revealing she was diagnosed with vitiligo in 2012 and how blood clots forced her to withdraw from Dancing With the Stars in 2015.
