It’s been years since Toni Braxton and Birdman turned heads at the 2016 BET Awards, yet their appearance together still gets people talking.
At the time, Braxton, famous for her hit “Un-Break My Heart,” attended the awards with fellow musician Birdman, sparking romance rumors that had already been circulating for months.
Their joint appearance seemed to confirm their close bond, though Birdman later addressed the speculation in an interview with Real 92.3, saying, “Toni is cool as f***, man. That’s the homegirl. I’ve known her for a long time. We went to the BET Awards. What’s the big deal? We did music together. We got one coming out together.”

Despite Birdman’s casual denial of a romantic connection, Toni’s bold outfit made quite an impression.
The R&B icon arrived in Bao Tranchi’s daring “Sideways” gown, going commando and showing off the dress’s strategic cutouts, sheer details, and a thigh-high slit that climbed all the way to her waist, revealing even a hint of her bottom.
