And we've seen the difficult times she's had because of the disease on her 'Braxton Family Values" reality show.

But on a happier note, Toni tweeted congrats to her sister Tamar, who is topping the charts with her latest single, saying, "So proud of my baby sister @TamarBraxtonHer !!! #loveandwar is #2 on iTunes! Make sure you guys go support and purchase the new single! :)"

Get well soon Toni!

Extra Troubled comedian Katt Williams landed in a California jail recently after being stopped for an outstanding warrant. Deets inside...

 

"Unretired" comedian Katt Williams was jailed last night for an outstanding warrant in Dunnigan, CA (about 40 miles from Sacramento).  

Katt was stopped by Yolo County Sheriffs deputies at a gas station and booked for a warrant stemming from a Sacramento County reckless driving incident from several days prior.  

Sources tell TheYBF.com that the arrest forced Katt to cancel his concert in Houston last night, but his concert-going fans didn't know about the cancellation until AFTER they arrived at the venue.

For now, Katt's reps have not spoken out about this latest mishap.

Wiz Khalifa stopped by Hot 107.9 to promote his O.N.I.F.C. disc where he revealed that he and Amber Rose had a miscarriage shortly before her pregnancy. Get the deets inside....

Wiz Khalifa spoke to Hot 107.9 in Philly with Qdeezy yesterday where he talked about the title to his latest disc O.N.I.F.C. (Only Negro In First Class). 

Wiz also talked about fatherhood and revealed that this is actually his & Amber's second time being pregnant.  He said the couple suffered a miscarriage during the second trimester of her first pregnancy, so during the second one, they wanted to take their time with making a public announcement.

And now, Wiz (who already calls Amber his "wife") says she is in her final trimester and the pregnancy is going very well.  

He recently tweeted about the album's success saying it's #1 on iTunes and he's hoping to be #1 on Billboard.  Meanwhile, Amber shared a pic (above) of their little WIZbud listening to O.N.I.F.C.
