by It was the most talked about occurrence at last yearâs Soul Train Awards (Nov 09), and now R&B diva Toni Braxton is setting the record straight. During the performance of her lead single âYesterday,â featuring Trey Songz, off the new album Pulse, Braxton and Songz locked lips, sending the blogosphere and Twitter in a finger-typing frenzy. Rumors even followed that the kiss was a possible factor in Braxtonâs separation from her husband. So how did that kiss come about? âTrey and I didnât meet until the day before that performance.â She tells Rap-Up TV. âWe had not met each other but we were fans of each other. I remember Fatima, the choreographer, said the song is a sad love song but I donât want people to think that itâs the finale; that itâs over. Maybe you should make them think itâs not overâ¦so you guys should do a kiss.â At first, Braxton says she was a bit skeptical about the kiss but played along. âIâm like what kind of Kissâ¦like on the cheek,â she says. âTrey said I would do that. Trey is fantasticâ¦heâs wonderfulâ¦we checked each otherâs lips for cootiesâ¦we were fine and we went on with it.â Braxton somewhat played down Trey though, adding, âA lot of people say if me and R. Kelly had a kid, it would be Trey Songz. He sounds like both of us.â
