It’s been leaked recently that former Xscape member Kandi Burruss has been slated as the replacement for DeShawn Snow on the next season of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta. I’m really excited about this new season!
Kandi has a looooong history on the music scene in the ‘A.’ From her participation in the R&B singing group Xscape (which also included sisters LaTocha and Tamika Scott, as well as Burruss’ best friend Tameka “Tiny” Cottle)…to her high profile relationships with industry dudes, Kandi’s definitely no stranger to controversy.
She’ll fit into the ‘housewives’ gang quite well cause her name has been around these here parts for a minute.
It’s been said that she was the main reason behind the breakup of Xscape because her *cough* ‘relationship’ with the group’s producer, which happened to be Jermaine Dupri, was the group’s final breaking point. Causing mad tension and cries of favoritism amongst the other members.
Kandi’s been involved with one of the twins from Jagged Edge (another SoSoDef group) and was also involved in a high profile relationship with Gerald Levert for a while. That relationship ended after the couple couldn’t see eye to eye.
Kandi’s greatest claim to fame is her Grammy award-winning songwriting credits, some of which shared with Atlanta producer Kevin “Shekespere” Briggs. In addition to their working ‘relationship’, the two eventually hooked up as well. She has 6 year old daughter by Russell “Block” Spencer of Block Entertainment.
Kandi’s been sporting a ring lately, so she may be engaged to a new boo. All I know is… DeShawn may have been dubbed the “boring one” but Kandi will bring some real old school Atlanta ‘flava’ to the show!
I can’t wait!
Check out this video of Kandi on BETJ’s Tears Shears and Beauty with her hairstylist DerekJ discussing why stars and celebrities don’t pay:

This will work. I can’t see her getting punked by any of the other chicks
Also, Kim Z better go some where with her “singing” career, a real artist is now on the set.
DIZZ-AM!!! Check out the ROCK she’s flashing! Exactly what does her guy do??? and does he have a bother
LOL
I’m read all these guys she been with and she’s not that fine. Hell i lived in the A and I dated better looking girls than her and I’m damn near broke. Her head game must be off the chain. But I must use a condom because she’s been around like a mug.
Peace
i want xscape to come back out. coochie & business do not mix women!!
[...] new season hasn’t even started yet and I already miss DeShawn. I’m sure Kandi Burress will be an exciting replacement but DeShawn added a bit of balance to all the craziness that may be lacking next season. [...]
Kandi along with her group came out in a time when young African American Females were needed to show positivity. Kandi is very talented and has proven that. So what she has had high profile relationships that doesn’t make her a whore. Also, how many of us have had many relationships but they were low profile but had they been high profile, we would have wanted to keep our relationships private. Focus on Kandi for who she is as a songwriter, singer, most importantly a mother not her private life. You go Kandi.
