While taking to TikTok Live, Braxton called the encounter \u201cawkward,\u201d adding she only greeted everyone on stage to be cordial and congratulate all of the honorees. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Braxton continued to speak on the drama in a recent interview on \u2018<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DbYnnaRjxHj\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Morning Hustle<\/a><\/em>\u2019 radio show.
