Celebs Who Rode Their Famous Sibling’s Coattails to Success

Tamar Braxton

Tamar has been singing since she was a little girl trying to harmonize her want and need for toilet paper, and when she joined with her sisters in a group, The Braxtons, she thought they were going to make it to the top. Well, Toni did, but for Tamar and the rest of her sisters? Not so much…

After trying to perform in a group with the rest of her siblings (sans Toni and Traci), Tamar tried to get her foot in the door as a solo artist, but wound up singing backup for her sister. That was of course, until the whole family was asked to do this little reality TV show thing…Just like that, Tamar became something of a household name (who isn’t saying hotmess.com?). Though she isn’t successful solely based on her music like she might have wanted, if it wasn’t for that show, she wouldn’t have had the chance to perform on the Soul Train Music Awards last year, nor the chance to now have her own spinoff show with her hubby and manager, Vince.
