The successful “housewife” held a grand opening celebration last night (September 8, 2012) and was joined by a few of her RHOA cast mates, including Cynthia Bailey, newbie Kenya Moore (who joined the cast this season)and celebrity hairstylist Derek J.
Others in attendance included Antonia ‘Toya’ Wright, producer Jazze Pha, Momma Dee of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta (who appeared in a see through top flanked by two dates), and my boo Funky Dineva.

Go on Kandi, make those coins and much success in the new venture! Now, was that your real boo, Dineva, or the new one that Mona has tamed down to almost boring and not the funny, keep it real hunty Dineva??
All that for what? One performance you weren’t feeling? Yeah, I guess it’s Mona’s fault you found him unfunny. Have you watched his interviews prior to stepping on VH1′s screens? There isn’t anything different about it. You just like to focus on the negative instead of encouraging success. Typical niglette.
You defend a man dressed in drag & wonder why the children do the same?? Do you realize Atlanta has become a laughing stock? No one is laughing with you…EVERYONE is laughing AT you…
Do you reside in Atlanta? I do! You are on a site that’s called straight from the A… You do know the "A" stands for Atlanta right??? BTW, Who’s laughing? and what’s funny?
hey in ATL’s defense at least their queens are out and live with it not like Hollywood where half them jockaz their are fake, fony, and fraud. Fake nose, eyes, ass, teeth, and fake inside. These queens serve us with fierce, fun, and fashion and at least they have the decency to show who they really are not. Like Joseline said a lot of folks from Hollywood are fake.
A quote from Joseline,—– seriously!!??
Mz. Cali, you took the words right out of my mouth. Atlanta used to be a well respected city full of progressive, successful, and dignified black people who lived a God fearing life that exemplified high morals and integrity. Nowadays, it is the capital of african american homosexuals and lesbians. It’s such a depressing thing to see.
ROTF @ typical niglette but VERY TRUE!!
Do you expect Dineva to Shuck and Jive at every occasion for you? I’m glad that during the reunion she kept her antics to a minimum, she was guest not the host and she acted accordingly.
*a guest
Let’s be real Kandi daughter is fugly! The girl stays bummy. How her momma own an boutique and have her looking dirty? That’s bogus!
Kandi look a mess with her booty implants and all. There I said it. The men in this photo need father figures. Atlanta needs to pray that Homo spirit away.
Last but not least in Let’s Be HONEST, if she was not a celeb and you saw her walking down the street, you would be like she could have combed her daughters hair and brought her an outfit. Instead of looking like she just got her taxes and brought an outfit and waiting from a man to find her cute.
JKIR
Ha-ha you crazy!
And no way Pig Michelle would say anything nice about Sheree or Nene cos they don’t fuel her’s and Funky D’s fame. I guess beggars cant be choosers….
Lawd..did this chile just say Sheree??*lmfao* Who gives two fucks about Sheree? Sheree probably standing in line somewhere tryna get a Section 8 application, while continuously checking her calling her foodstamp card tryna see if the funds on there yet(at the same damn time)!! Im an average person and I wouldnt want to be seen with her broke ass.Broke bytches always beggin. Let Sheree stay where she at.
Ummm, pray the homo spirit away? REALLY??? You sound like a fool. Wait, don’t tell me, you got that from your pastor. How can you do such a thing when people don’t choose to be gay? Please don’t quote the bible either because those same scriptures that are used to condemn are the ones I can use to teach you a thing or two with! People kill me, what happened to the who so ever loves God….. huh? I’ll wait.
Kandi’s daughter starts to look like Ices Brown more and more every year! She need to give that baby some attention and stop tryna buy her things to substitute being a mother. She can get her a trainer, or send her to Biggest Loser summer camp to get them pounds off her. Kandi need to stop whoring around and start takin care of her kid before she ends up being 500lbs and stripping on Youtube.
Ices Brown… lmao
Riley is such a sweet girl, po’ thang
You hoz are stupid to be talking about a child. Wouldn’t give a fux who her mom is if her outfit ain’t right …that is a kid. You bitches need help. Sorry ass skanks with too much time on ya hands.
This had me rollin…LMAO!!!
i dont think that was appropriate at all. Kandi is allowing her daughter to express herself by the way she dresses. Have you took a look at how these kids dress today? Riley looks no different than todays kids. Just because her mother has money that doesnt mean Riley has to fit in some kind of box. Stop that! I mean she is rocking a Nikki Minaj tshirt that alone gives you some insight on her style. Fugugly, what if that baby read that message? Are you ok with calling a child fucking ugly on a website that i am sure she access. I draw the line with kids period. If you want to go in on Grown folks then go in, but don’t fuck with the kids. Riley is a cute chunky little girl, and as far as her style she is an individual. Let her mature and do her young thang. Let me see a picture of yo kids. Be clear if you can someone else child ugly make sure yours is drop dead gorgeous because if they not trust me you got about 50 other people calling yours ugly behind your back.
lol lol lol lol you are NUTS!!! LOL LOL LMAO @ MY DESK AT WORK!!!! LOL LOL LOL i totally agree, her daughter is never on point and the baby gut is not cute on such a little girl…im sorry she need to be on a diet right with kim daughter!!! lol i thought this was going to say how she opened up another TAGS OVER SEAS OR IN ANOTHER STATE…THIS ITCH STILL LOCAL…LOL NEXT!!!!
Wow! LMBO!
I’m always amazed at women who spend more time and money on their fake hair than they do on their daughter’s real hair. I think Kandi lets her daughter dress herself, but at least iron her clothes, buy her a pair of girlie shoes, and put some bows or some curls in her hair! Good grief! At least make her look presentable. And, will someone PLEASE tell Kandi that sexiness is not what you wear. Sexiness comes from within.
Wow..Your comment was stupid as hell. Yes oh yes you’re super duper funny talking about people’s fucking kids. Get a life bitch…
Funky Dineva’s hair looks better than that ol nasty snatch back Cynthia snapped on her head… yes Gawd!
YES!!!, taking it out the pack and pinning it in your head doesn’t qualify it being a hairdo.
CYNTHIA LOOKS GREAT AS USUAL..I LOVE HER SKIN! SHE THE BEST LOOKIN ONE ON THE SHOW!
I DONT HAVE COMMENT ABOUT CHILDREN SO THIS ADDRESSED TO THE MOM. BUT WHY ALLOW YOUR CHILD TO DRESS LIKE THAT IN PUBLIC? I UNDERSTAND CHILDREN WEARING WHAT THEY LIKE AND YOU BEING RICH, BUT WHY?
Why don’t you ask why your brothers and sisters are going around in public allowing their children to be half dressed in dirty clothes without being clean? Go buy some clothes from the goodwill and donate em bitch and stop hating.
@gorl LMAO!!!!!! you’re so right, why is she/he worried about someone else’s kids?
@yep i said it it’s atlanta they dress differently and it’s a party i’m sure she doesn’t dress like that in school or anywhere else. Have you seen the way the omg girls dress? It’s called having fun!
It’s called "country" & this is the reason the south is well known as being "slow"…
…backwards
Bitch STFU cuz if you’re really from Cali you’ve seen all this and much more. Young-minded mofos always on that coastal/regional bs. Go read a book!
Girl go have several seats… you sound foolish!
The same reason the boys wear high heels…
Boyz wear heels because they want to…and that’s their choice…This is still a free country? right You need to bring your mind and negative energy into 2012! Speaking of Slow…..The End
I could go in on 80% of all black folks in Los Angeles living on SkidRow! But, I won’t
Living in some fake azz bubble is not progress Boo Boo….The End End : )
Boys is Atlanta wear high heels because of women/mothers like you & Cali is only 5% black, so most of the homeless on skidrow are white but likely are trash like you…
You got you facts and arthimatic wrong. There is not 80% of people of color on skid row in California.
I hope you only addressing mom on the internet about their kids cause that a sure way to get your arse handed to you.
I hope you only address mom on the internet about their children cause that a sure way to get your arse handed to you.
My senitments exactly! And you don’t have to be rich to keep your ONE child groomed. This ain’t nothing but pure laziness.
kandi come on man. look at your daughter. you got to do better. i dont care who gets offended. she makes too much money for her daughter to be walking around looking a HOT MESS!she need her ass beat letting that lil girl come out the house looking like that. yet she lookin all fly. i cant.
The issue it’s with the style of clothing but who’s being portrayed on her shirt. I don’t think Nicki Minaj should be idolized by and pubescent child.
*any
Amen!! Niki Minaj is nothing short of a sexual deviant, vulgar, and asinine clown.
I noticed how unkept Riley looked since Kandi’s first appearance on the show. And let’s not forget Sheree’s kids. They look even worse.
I really don’t c anything wrong with Kandi’s daughter attire. She’s dressed like any other kid her age! Some people focus on the wrong thing!
CHURCH!!
Does Atlanta have any standards??
How the hell do the ladies in ATL find clothing while all the men are running around in womens garments?
lol!!!!
LOL!
LOL LOL SO TRUE LOL
ROTFLMBAO. X2
Good question. My question to you is, what makes ANY woman want to live in a city where the women have to compete with MEN to get a MAN? Aside from the tourist sites, there is NOTHING appealing about Atlanta.
Damn Sweetie, did someone in Atlanta hurt your heart? You seem very very bitter. I’m a counselor, if you need to talk I’m here for you Hun. You need to release that hurt Shug… Laughing @you!!!!
Nope!
go kandi and u got vita coco sponsering too thats major money right there…..but please get your child out of this nicki minaj phase that woman is not appropriate for children or even teenagers and for god sakes sit this sissy funky w/e down please just embarrassing the shit out of black men.
Thank you. Dineva and Derek J both look a mess. And I see I’m not the only one who doesn’t find Dineva the least bit funny.
DINEVA IS A BUDGET CHRIS ROCK…LOL LOL LOL LOL
I think Black Men do a good job of embarrassing the Shhh out of themselves. The End
**Whenever Kandi is posted on this blogs…all the hateration show up…LOL what is that about lol
Derrick J and Funky D + all the other men in heels make fools enough of themselves enough for the entire race.
It’s not hateration, which isn’t a real word. There just happens to be alot of people out there who don’t like Kandi.
I agree on the Nicki Minaj part, I don’t see how Kandi could allow her daughter to indulge and promote this woman’s brand.
and kenya is looking sexy as fuk i still remember trios….foaming at the mouth
Congrats to Kandi on Tags #2! and All the Ladies in the A…with their mind on their Money + Family + Community Unlike Self Hating Idiots in other parts of the Country. Hating and wanting to tear down cause thats what they been train to do The End
and Don’t Hate Funky Dineva and Derek J cause you NOT! a Superstar (in my Joseline voice)
Get it Kandi! I love to see women going forward! Derek J and Funky whoever are doing too much, they have more estrogen then I do. At least make it cute IF you are going to crossover :/ Anywho, I still keep RHOA on the dvr.
For once in a long time, Derek J actually looks nice. I see Mz. Zolciak wasn’t in attendance. Maybe because she doesn’t want to show her face since that whole house fiasco, but then again, she never celebrates anything with Kandi anyway.
Sorry Kandi but Riley needs to lose weight, have you seen the "Commerical" of the Mom talking to her Son in the Car????? Joyce where are you when we need you???? And look at Momma Dee, Big Jazze Pha when are you going to lose weight??
All you people worrying about Kandi’s daughters appearance, google the name "Taylor Townsend". I wish a motherphucker would tell me how to raise or dress my child. Mind your dang business, and stop counting her pockets. The kid is still developing and there is NOTHING wrong with here expressing herself.
Riley is what 8-9 years old? Telling a kid that young she needs to lose weight, imagine the pyshological impact into adolescence and even adulthood. Get a life all you losers.
Your quote "Riley is what 8-9 years old"
Nicki Minaj lyric quote "When my pussy game so cold that he always seem to come back. Cause he know that it’d be a wrap. When I’m riding it from the back.
That’s the issue!
AND? You know when I was growing up, the lyrics when I was coming up were no different. Hell I don’t think Kandi would allow her daughter to get the explicit version of Nicki’s albums. This still goes back to people trying to tell parents how to raise their children and can barely raise their own.
Yeah Anthony I give you that, that when I was young I did listen to 2 live crew and so forth. But best to believe my parents was no where around to see me doing so. I thank God that they had enough insight to be my parents and not my friend. Maybe if Mama Joyce wasn’t trying to be a friend instead of a mother then Kandi would know better than to allow her child to have any dealings, associations, links to a self professed whore.
Thanks for enlightening me on Taylor Townsend. They are just trying to stop her from being the next Venus and Serena, that is so sad. Taylor is very talented and I hope that people will step in so that McEnroe can take a seat somewhere. As for Riley, she and my daughter are the same age and my daughter is thick as well. Although she exercises, she is still thick, but will grow out of it. And as Anthony stated previously, I wish a motherphucker would…lol
Patrick McEnroe has entirely to much power at the USTA. For somebody for was marginally good tennis player in comparison to his brother, he should sit in all those seats in Authur Ashe Stadium. Plus Venus and Serena Williams didn’t come out of the USTA system, Richard Williams did it his way.
Taylor Townsend is the #1 female ranked junior in the WORLD. To tell her to stay home from the countries biggest tennis tournaments because they think she’s not "fit enough. Her parents are better than me. And yet they support these other entitled rich white kids with funky attitudes. Call it for what it is, you’re right trying to hold that little girl down. God don’t like ugly, she will be fine.
Childhood obesity in the black population is at a crisis epidemic. We should be monitoring our children’s eating habits and weight. Fat or chubby is not healthy.
Riley being sloppily dressed is just one concern here, but to allow her to eat to this size at her age is neglectful and downright abusive. Type I diabetes develops in OVERWEIGHT children in case you didn’t know this. And, I think YOU need to do a google search on Niki Minaj before you approve of ANY child wearing a shirt with her face on it.
rileys hair is NOT combed, the t-shirt she has on is inappropriate, the shoes she have on are not tyed up, i mean the outfit is all wrong, she looks like a fat kid that love cake….she need a kid makeover bottom line….kandi and her daughter need a stylist ASAP! she need to call madonna daughter LOURDES for some styling tips! KANDI – DO BETTER! Oh and it’s not cute seeing Kandi’s boobs hanging out either….again-KANDI DO BETTER, WHERE IS TODD? lol
Funkay Dinevah lookin softer in the face then Kenya Moore.
You know what on a blessed Sunday like today all y’all can do is sit around and bash a child she needs to loose weight her outfit is so ugly do y’all really hear y’all selves this so so sad. I know as an adult looking back on my childhood pictures some of them outfits i was wearing was just terrible it’s part of growing up we all have those moments leave this child alone.
this is true… only we didn’t have to worry about it being posted on blogs for the world to see.
…but I’m not going to act like I wasn’t thinking it too when I saw that picture (shrugs shoulders) lol
Would your mother let you wear a t-shirt with the picture of a self professed whore on it? I don’t think she would. And that is why most of us don’t like what she’s wearing, aside from her being overweight. Honestly, we as black people need to stop getting offended by the truth. If a white Dr. tells you to lose weight, you might not start right away, but you’ll consider it. But, when a black person mentions it, you get defensive and calling names. We have got to do better about how we present ourselves to the world and how we take care of our bodies. The bible clearly states, my people perish for the lack of knowledge. And we’re dying younger and younger everyday due to ignorance and turning a blind eye.
First off ain’t nun in the south slow second it’s called swag on identity and this is a kid really.
VERY SLOW…don’t you all still use trashmen?? No sidewalks correct? Yes your a good 15-20 years behind…
Bitch stfu already. I’m tired of seeing u on here always bashing the south. Your saditty ass wouldn’t last a day in the A. Speaking of the A, since u hate the south so much & everybody here, why are u even on this blog? This blog is for ppl who rep & love this city so gtfoh with all that nonsense.
Lol from California.
where Phaedra? they fightin?
Congrats Kandi!!!
Kandi’s daughter is 9 years old. 9 years old EXPRESS themselves. Dressing like this is not just a "south" thing. Will Smith’s daughter is definitely not from the South and her attire is very similar to what Riley has on.
This event was a celebration. I’m sure Riley doesn’t wear this to school or on a visit to the grocery store. We’ve all seen Riley on the show(RHOA) and she her attire is always nice and she always has on what a normal 9 years would wear. Some people are always finding the WRONG thing to talk about. How about saying "Congrats" to Kandi and lift her up for doing something positive and inpsiring other young girls to always aim for their dreams and to never take no for an asnwer when it comes to something you want to accomplish.
Kandi’s daughter is cute. And she looks happy. Beautiful kid.
Lord have mercy on my peeps. These peeps going in on a innocent child. The kids should be off limits when peeps spew venom. Most of the people talking I bet don’t even know where their bay, bays at.
I guess Jazze Pha said "Ladies and gentlemen…Fuck it!" to the weight loss goal he was trying to reach. But his beard was lined up like a muhfucka. Shout out to picture #25 on the barbershop wall. I want my beard to be lined like THAT!
Tell Mama Dee that TAGS does not sell shoes with fish in the bottom with her pimpin’ ass.
You stupid!!—— I cracked my head on my desk laughing!!
Kandi doesn’t dress very well. She never looks polished/comfortable in her clothes. She either needs a stylist or fire the one she has.
Hopefully Riley doesn’t dress like that on the daily. This was a special event.
I wish Kandi would mail me that purse!!!
Riley is an adorable child, I loe when children express themselves, as the mother of an eight year old, I allow her to selvt her clothes. Sometimes I shake my head, some os the colors she pick out scares me. I feel that this will enable her not to care what others think as she becomes older, she will be her own person. Now, I have come the conclusion that Derrick J. has mental issues, I’m certain he looks in the mirror before he leaves the house. I’m all for expression, but he looks scary and crazy, maybe he had a mother like me that allowed him to select his own clothes as a child, and raised him not to care what others think…maybe I need to rethink my parenting skills. Funky whatever this things name is,if you want to break into the indusrty, you can be gay and respectful, and not look stupid..take a hint from Washington D.C’s Paul Wharton, gay, fabulous, and not over the top with foolishness!!!
I think he dresses like that to stand out, especially living in Atlanta where a gay man with a gap game isn’t something uncommon.
How come know has post anything about tinys nail bar burning down
Its sad that folks on here talking about a child like this. OMG!!!! Riley is just a kid that like Nicki Minaj!!! Wow. It’s called childhood and baby fat. She will grow into a real beauty. Watch!!!!
A hit dog will holla however in this case you grazed me.
I have nothing against a child having self expression but I stand by my word that Nicki Minaj should be no child’s idol so much so that they publicly promote them. I have a daughter and I be damned if I would condone her admiring this woman (I use the term loosely), I have a problem with Kandi not seeing the implications of her doing so.
You women who are bashing a child are low class bitches. Some of you are mothers yourselves and would cash a mofos ticket for saying anything out of order about your child. You tramps know better & as a mother of two daughters I will tell you that girls tell you what they want to wear. Of course I don’t let them pick crazy non matching stuff, but I give them the chance to be themselves. Self expression is everything to kids. Maybe some of you have parenting skills that are so fucked up you don’t understand. Keep your mouths off of other peoples children..
Derrick J and Funky Dineva are both a hot azz mess! Yes GAWD!
OMG… are y’all REALLY going in on a 10 year old? #GetYourLife
Kandi is so ugly to me.
I’M GAY AND FUNKY DINEVA IS A SHITTY MESS MAKES ME NOT WANT TO FAGGOT A DISGRACE TO ALL GAYS A GAY SICK PUPPET. DERRICK A MESS BUT NOTHING COMPARED TO FUNKY DEMON
At the end of the day that’s a child don’t talk about her like that what if she’s reading This fuck them ur a beautiful Girl
Lawd….. Congrats Kandi and she’s addressed concern about Riley on the show. We should not tear the baby down like that.
All the folks tearing down Riley I bet were the SAME folks that talked about Bobbi K when she was younger. When Being Bobby Brown was on the air, BK was about Riley’s size and she has since blossomed in a beautiful young lady. I swear some people really have to be miserable to pick on a 9 y/o! MAJOR FAIL!
Riley has eaten herself into Oblivion…Poor thing…Someone should call CPS….
Funky Dineva = Hot Mess On The Ground
Derek J = One of The 7 Dwarfs (Tacky)
Mama Dee = Looking Old and Homeless
Cynthia = Looking fab as usual
Kenya = Hot & Sexy
Kandi = Looking Plain Jane
Riley = Always Cute but that Tutu is for toddlers
Jazze Pha = Bout to explode and have everybody covered in ding dongs, ho ho’s, skittles, oreos and strawberry sauce.
"Jazze Pha = Bout to explode and have everybody covered in ding dongs, ho ho’s, skittles, oreos and strawberry sauce."
