Burruss even got emotional during a listening session once as she discussed the song “Leroy Jones,” which she penned in honor of her step father, who raised her as his own.

Now it appears as though Kandi is developing a relationship with bio-dad. She posted a photo of her dad and little sister supporting her at a Bedroom Kandi party last month, and now Burruss has welcomed her dad into another part of her life: the recording studio!
Details + photos below…
Since we first learned of Kandi’s “daddy issues” when she first joined the cast, perhaps we’ll be seeing the relationship develop with her biological father on camera.
New man… new father… major entrepreneurial moves… it looks like Kandi may have an interesting storyline this season.

A Peek Inside Kandi Burruss’ Atlanta Home… [PHOTOS]
I personally don’t give a smokin’ hot shyt about Kandi’s dad. What I would like to know is why Obama’s debate article was taken down? All other sites are posting…what’s up with THIS? I pretty much KNOW Sandra Hoes needs the money but what happened HERE? You KNOW I respect you but I’m just a nobody that’s curious. Why is it GONE?
@versatile – It’s not gone… it was a technical error. Back now…
Thinking again…if it’s something I said..then thank you.
I can take Kandi or leave Kandi I just don’t understand this need for attention ?
Im not saying Kandi is the only one I will say that I respect her hustle.
Damn Kandi, that dress looks good on you! o-O Oh boy!
He’s handsome. Good luck with building that rapport.
HANDSOME AND IN NEED OF A DNA TEST. SHE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THAT MAN, NADA!!!! MOST GIRLS FAVOR THEIR DAD SOMEWHAT BUT ZERO HERE.I WONDER IF THAT’S WHY HE WAS GHOST B/C HE HAD DOUBTS TOO. HMM???……JENNY JONES!!!
Ugh, really?She looks nothing like him because she is her mother’s twin!And most girls don’t favor their dad-who told you that mess?Most CHILDREN favor their parents-this is so not Maury. ANYWAY, its great to see her building a relationship with her real dad, I hope all goes well.
Co-Sign!!!!!!!!
U stupid Jenny Jones…LOL
They actually do look a like to me….I guess we all see different things.
Jenny Jones, you took the words right out of my mouth! And, to be totally honest. Kandi doesn’t look like her mom either.
YES LAWD!!!!! JENNY JONES I WAS THINKING THE SAME DAMN THANG. MAMA JOYCE MUSTA BEEN OUT THERE CAUSE THIS MAN IS —–NOT THE FATHER!!!!!!! lololool
I was thinking the exact same thing! Her mom is not dark, she’s on the lighter side. And her dad id mixed. Why is Kandi so dark? He is not her daddy! Google a picture of Kandi’s brother. He looks mixed! Mama Joyce need to stop worrying about Kandi and worry about her own damn skeletons!
Good for her & her dad. Life IS SHORT…..
It’s something…no matter how old you get..the want to know your complete roots. My mother didn’t tell me til’ I was 30ty something who my father was. It was an extramarital affair. I STILL would like to know if this indeed IS my father,as my mother seems after all these years still untrustworthy of information revealed. Believe me,being a cousin of the most informative ancestry site online…I have tried to discover my other side.With no avail,I pretty much account this for "woman scorned" attitudes that will be taken to her death. My son was told throughout his questioning who his father was..and through site discovered not only who he was but siblings as well. They talk and visit each other often. This is a very important issue in defining one’s self. Every now and again I ask questions in hope of new revelations. I am comfortable with who I am…but would so much LOVE to know WHY I have certain abilities that in no way relates to her.She could have chosen under those circumstances to abort me so I thank internally thank her for that…though I am pro choice. Kandi was born of two resourceful people and I’m sure it’s not a "Can you help me out" situation. Must feel good.
Everyone should atleast know who your biological parents are so you wont wind up dating your half sister or brother. I wish Kandi the best in developing their relationship.
That’s true. Some of these women/girls don’t remember who all they have slayed….which is sad or some men have 55 kids a cross the country. and of all people you start dating one of your brothers….a mess.
I’m happy she’s getting the chance to build a relationship with her father.
You have to learn how to forgive people. Like Mi Mi said…lol…I’m still on that soap opera…lol L&HHATL
I someone who at age 18 was told by a drunk uncle at BBQ, that the man who raised her wasn’t her father. After questioning her mother she found out that her mother was “fast” and didn’t find out who the father was because there were multiple partners. Long story short, by the age of 21 this girl tested 4 different men, and all proved to not be her father. Her mother cannot remember how many other man she slept with, so unfortunately she has no idea who her father is and will never know. I really feel bad that she will never know her biological father because her mother was so loose with her cooch.
He need to get a DNA test real quick cause its hard for me to believe thats her father! Im just saying….
*crickets* if you look at both their eye area you can see they look alike…she also look like Moma Joyce. Some people look like both their parents…like me. and My mother is darker than me. I get the feeling that’s where you self hating people are going….to their complexions. anyway
@jUST SAYING- AKA kANDI bURESS Please exit stage left and hit up Maury 4 a DNA test. hell even Stevie Wonder can see that is not yo damn daddy!!!! Mama Joyce need her ass whopped 4 this 1!!! LMAO!!! Chile please!!
And, Candy’s deceased brother favors him. Just because they don’t look exactly alike does not mean they are not related. They are some men, whose children seem to look exactly like them but are not biologically theirs.
Beth – speaking the truth. Totally agree
@ Beth and Janet… I conquer!
Lmfao @Beth, gurl… I was thinking the same thing. Her mother and "father" are lighter than her and her facial features match neither of them. Momma Joyce was a freak her damn self. Kandi gurl, u better get a paternity test asap.
Beth, Janet and Donna all beat me to the punch, Mama Joyce get a side eye on this handsome older man.
Jesus take the wheel, we as a people can be so damn ignorant. I just cannot believe some of the comments that I’ve read. This woman is finally getting to interact with her father, and all you can say is he needs to get a dna test? HotAssMess on a summer day. And then you let that slave mentality come ALL the way out with the assumption that she is "too dark" to be his child. Niggas and flies, Niggas and flies…Please consider the facts that she looks like her mother, there has to be someone in her ancestry that is darker complexioned, and that her and her sister favor. Typical black women behavior-I have never heard white women sit around and discuss a child’s paternity on such ignorant grounds. I can just see you broods at the family reunion, posted up by the beer cooler, talking bout "Chile, that baby don’t look nothing like him"…So Very Disgusting!
Miss Joyce is that you? *lmao Look in my opinion she does not look "just like" her mother.They resemble, yes, but Kandi has some very strong facial features that i would expect to have come from somewhere,and her father doesnt have them. I was not looking at their skin tone,because I am from Louisiana and know damn well that you can have different shades of children.My daughter came out looking mixed and her father is very dark and I have brown skin.And you point out the her and her sister look alike,but I dont really see it plus you have not seen the girls mother and she may look like her.All I am saying is, Kandi is almost 40 years old,they didnt have DNA testing back then,and we dont know what kinda woman her mama was back then! People change.You know how the saying goes…"Mama’s baby,Daddy’s maybe"..
Yet another HotAssMess on another summer day….SMDH.
Y’all killing me bringin up what white people do(or don’t do)…just sayin it’s sounds cray
And white people DO disgust paternity…I guess y’all only paid attention to Maury when black folks was on, huh?…if we not starring in it…y’all not watching…LMAO right…lol
I was gonna say…This is what you get from a generation of people that grew up on Jerry Springer and Maury Sad and pathetic
We as people can range in… is it 42 hues? well anyway…We come in many flavors…even when we have two black parents. get over it
I brought white ppl up because I feel it true. White women do not sit around and look around at other folk’s "chirren" like they say down south, and dicuss paternity-they hide behind their hands and whisper. At least they keep the messiness to themselves. And as far as Maury goes, isn’t it ironic that 9 times out of 10, the white men WANT the babies to be theirs, but the black men come out the gate calling the women out their name, saying stuff like "That baby dont look like me"? You know why? Because there is always a self hating, envious, and ol tired ass mother, sister, aunt,cousin, or girlfriend in his ear saying some the ignorant bs displayed in this post.If we knew better, we would do better.
*it’s, *discuss…and by post, I’m referring to the comment section as a whole.
People are ignorant calling for a DNA test. Good for Kandi.
It’s never too late.
Kandi’s parents need to sue the hospital cause Im %100 certain that baby was switched. I need to see her baby pics,hair texture before.the perm and dyes… I just cant believe this one bit. Kandi go search for your real parents because you dont resemble either.
Not all children look like their parents. Some children look more like their grandparents. Anyway, Kandi’s sister favors her.
I see why he’s estranged…..Look at him! Sorry Khandi but Smokey Robinson is "NOT" the father,she better have a talk with her mother,like for real.
[…] Kandi allows her estranged father into her life- StraightfromtheA […]
NOT THE FATHER!!!!…….Nice looking man tho
I CAME HERE BECAUSE I SAW RHOA LAST NIGHT AND THE PREVIEWS SHOWED KANDI REAL DADDY..THE MAN IS GORGEOUS..WHAT HAPP TO KANDI? IM WITH EVERYONE ELSE…IS HE THE REAL FATHER , SHE HAS NONE OF HIS FEATURES AND SHE DON’T LOOK LIKE MAMMA JOYCE EITHER..SOMETHING AIN’T RIGHT IN THE COOKIE JAR! I WILL SAY THAT HER BROTHER WAS FINE AS HELL TOO AND HE FAVORS THE FATHER BUT KANDI DOES NOT, THAT DONT MEAN THEY HAVE THE SAME DADDY..MAMA JOYCE IT’S TIME FOR A LONG TALK WITH YOUR DAUGHTER.
