More Than a Woman

Toni Braxton: singer, actress . . . cannabis smoker? Yup, Ms. Braxton is for real when she recently discussed her 1996 hit “You’re Makin’ Me High” during a VH1 presentation of Behind the Song. Braxton said she wanted to go “buck-wild” for the single, and incorporated events from her real life for the first time into the song. “A week before [recording the song] I was introduced to marijuana and I got high for the first time,” she told VHI. “And so I kinda added that in song.” Admittedly, we should have anticipated her response from the title alone. Unlike other megastars (looking at you Bieber), Braxton can talk about this with little impunity. She’s a six-time Grammy award winning singer with her own reality TV show, a Lifetime Original Movie and enough cash to upset a Third World country. Time for another hit, Toni? Not talking about the music.
