Tamar Braxton's Nigerian boyfriend files restraining order against singer

American singer and actress, Tamar Braxton’s Nigerian boyfriend, David Adefeso, has reportedly filed a ‘domestic violence restraining order’ against her.

TMZ reported that Adefeso asked to be protected from the 43-year-old singer after they both got into a fight inside a car on Tamar’s way to a mental health facility.

An undisclosed source however revealed to The Blast that Adefeso seemed to be the aggressor in the altercation and that the argument started when the singer questioned her boyfriend about a photo he posted of her seven-year-old son, Logan.

The source reportedly said that the singer said Adefeso was 'around for the wrong reasons and could not be trusted.'

It was also claimed that their argument escalated and Adefeso threatened to kill her and kill himself after. The source also reportedly added that Tamar only grabbed Adefeso in reaction after he grabbed her.

This is coming after the singer, actress and reality show star had described her boyfriend as an angel after crediting him for saving her life when she was found unresponsive in her hotel room some months ago.

The Blast reported that David called 911 to report the situation and he said that his girlfriend had been drinking and had also taken an unknown amount of prescription pills.

According to Blast, sources revealed that Tamar’s boyfriend believed it was a possible suicide attempt.

LAPD also confirmed to The Blast that they received a call regarding the reality star at 9:45pm and that her medical emergency was listed as a ‘possible overdose’.

The Blast also reported that Tamar had recently been emotional over a contract dispute she had with We TV.

A spokesperson for Tamar said: "Tamar has had a very tough and emotional day — more information will be coming in the next few days. Please pray for her."
