Jermaine Dupri is prepping for his 20th anniversary all-star concert and it seems that just about all of the old SoSo Def gang is ready, willing and able to participate in the festivities.
Dupri made a grand announcement about the upcoming show, which is scheduled for February 23rd in Atlanta, as he stood beside Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed on the steps of Atlanta’s City Hall.

Former and current SoSoDef artists, friends and supporters all took part in the press conference, but many were left speculating about Xscape, the girl group that once featured Kandi Burruss, sisiters LaTocha & Tameka Scott, and Tameka “Tiny” Cottle?
Bow Wow aka ‘Mr. 106 & Park’ left SoSoDef for the greener pastures of Lil Wayne‘s Young Money Records, but he still plans to participate in Jermaine’s anniversary celebration.
And although he’s actually had his own share of issues with Jermaine, that didn’t stop Bow Wow from trying to call out Kandi regarding her decision NOT to reunite with her former group members for the SoSoDef Anniversary concert.

Jermaine recently commented about Bow Wow’s lil rant.
Details below…
Jermaine was asked about Bow Wow’s rant by Sister 2 Sister, and he responded:
I don’t feel anything at all [about those comments]. I’m not even thinking about that. Do you know how crazy this concert is? For me to even think about that is a waste of my time.
The approach of getting 13 artists all in the same place and to perform all of these hits is so much more positive than I have to put into that.
That little talking, that stuff means nothing to me.
In other words… ‘shut up Bow-Wow we’ve got work to do‘!
Dupri goes on to explain his decision to host a So So Def Anniversary show after all these years, stating:
I’m at a moment in life where I had a couple of my friends pass away and it made me feel as though maybe I should take advantage of this opportunity while I’m here. All the artists are here, well and healthy.
You never know what the 21st anniversary will look or feel like.
Are you looking forward to seeing almost all of your favorite SoSo Def artists under one roof?

Kandi use to be JDs side piece….so it may be awkward to reunite if lable mates r still upset by it.
MAYBE SHE JUST HAS A LIFE & SCHEDULE WITH THINGS GOING ON SO SHE JUST ISN’T DROPPING THINGS WHEN J.D. DECIDES TO PULL A DATE OUT OF HIS A– TO DO A SO SO DEF REUNION SHOW. AND I SEE BOW WOW CALLED KANDI OUT BUT NOT TINY. HMM WONDER WHY ESP WHEN SHE’S NOT WOMAN ENOUGH TO MAKE UP HER OWN MIND? TINY SAYS SHE WILL COME IF KANDI DOES, REALLY? BOW KNOWS IF HE SPEAKS ABOUT TINY THEN HE IS SPEAKING ABOUT TIP AND TIP WILL TOTALLY ‘F’ HIM UP, POINT BLANK. I’M WITH JD, THE SHOW MUST GO ON REGARDLESS…….JENNY JONES!!!
AND HOW ABOUT BOW WOW STOP LYING ABOUT PAYING FOR FUNERALS(BIG D HIS BODYGUARD) AND ABOUT WHO HE SLEPT WITH THEN GETTING CALLED OUT ABOUT IT. EXAMPLE ESTER BAXTER. HE’S SO WACK WITH SUCH A NAPOLEON COMPLEX AND NOTHING TO BACK IT UP. SMH!!! LOL!!!…….JENNY JONES!!!
Jenny Jones, u never fail to make me laugh…so comical..LOL
But listen if they are still mad at kandi for humping somebody over 20 years ago, they need to get a life!
Ummm, nobody on tiny’s head for not coming to the show either.
Maybe they need to make a reality show for two bitter bitches, and they two can be famous..LOL. They make a shoe about everything else..smh
How u on coochie patrol 20 years…maybe they need to lay on their back and catch a star…because the other two definitely shining.
Sound like some petty stuff to me. That was a million years ago. Tamika should apologize publicly for what she said, and Kandi should do the show for the FANS.
I agree, but, in that big old head of hers Kandi seems to think she is a superstar.
Lol I agree since reality she went from making money with hits for platinum artist to trailer trash kim for damn near a penny and I agree she should do it for the fans we need a moment of old school hotness for just a moment instead the crap we ignore today
None of Kandi’s solo albums have sold so you would think she would jump on that Xscape situation quick and stop acting brand new. Everybody knows she was sleeping with JD and felt she should sing lead on songs because of it..even though Latocha and Tameka sings better. Girl bye
Preach! In a nutshell!
I wouldn’t want to see them together knowing their chemistry is fucked up
Probably better putting 4 random girls on stage without rehearsing..and it would be a better show. Serious
Ok, granted Kandi has some scheduling conflicts she could have contributed to this in some capacity. KANDI stop holding grudges babe. Xscape is not Xscape with out Kandi and those high notes that she can actually hit. To be honest if KANDI were to even be confirmed to join the line up. I would literally book it to ATL for the show. Xscape is my favorite group of all time. I hope something gives.
I agree with you. But you are forgetting about Tiny. While Xscape isn’t my fav. I will say that if I had a chance to see them perform it would have to be with the orignal line up. Because most of their best work came when they were together.
I would have loved to see Kandi participate. She did admit to sleeping with JD and I read she slept with one of the Jagged Edge twins. So that would be a little uncomfortable. One of the Scott sisters called her out about it on a NYC radio station and then later apologized. Kandi + SoSoDef =Drama.
Wow! But lets hope that Kandi and Tiny make a surprise appearance. I mean it was rumored that DC would not appear at the SB and only Beyounce was to perform( i read this on mto) and look…we were all fooled and surprised! I know I was…so lets not throw in the towel folks..have a little faith. This could all be a stunt to get more fans to see the show….and if they dont show up… the show must go on!!!
If she was close to changing her mind, Bow Wow just messed it up..he should stay in a child’s place.
Bow Wow is still 12?
Bow Wow and his antics are extremely childish so that’s what that meant..Since it has been duly noted that you have an obvious disdain for me in previous posts, please stop commenting on my postings.
I just read the back-story on how she ‘RESPECTFULLY’ declined due to a ‘SCHEDULING CONFLICT’ with her ‘BUSINESS PROMOTION’. Can someone tell me what is so wrong with that? People, this is the world of money and SMART BUSINESS PRACTICES. It would be bad business to cancel your own project to join what could be a possible disaster just for the sake of the fans. I mean, lets be real here…how many TRUE fans are going be there compared to the ‘drama hungry’ folks who just want to see a fight??
Stop and ask yourself this: Would YOU scrap plans on something that you had 1: scheduled BEFORE the invite? 2: possibly feel uncomfortable doing? and 3: just throw away all of the MONEY, time and effort you have already invested into YOUR company? So consider this before before we come up with all of these crazy theories and start hating her for her decision.
When and if the time is right, Kandi and the other members will give the fans what they want and their TRUE fans will understand and support this. As for BW…I take what he says with a grain of salt. Ask him to perform with someone that he had a falling out with when it may affect him making revenue on his own ventures….I think we ALL know the answer to this one…
FINALLY….sum1 with sum damn sense! Who cares if Kandi can’t participate in the celebration, if J.D. don’t give a damn why should we? It’s not like Kandi flat out said she didn’t want to go to the event, sheesh! The ppl that are goin look like they ain’t have nothin better to do anyway!
I totally agree. Yes JD started her career but she is doing bigger things on her own. Xscape will always be one of my fav groups but it just doesn’t seem like the smart thing to do if ther is drama & tension. Sometimes saying no is best. Best of luck to them all!
Uhm…Michele, I’m gonna need you to get on top of the Keisha Cole shade honey…shots fired!
Ok…so now since the Keisha "shade" was dished. Michele posted a positive message regarding sista’s supporting sista’s and how it was an honor being invited to share the stage by her sister Beyonce! Ok…positive right??? Well…. the hood-booger Keisha in turn…posts a pic of a $100,00.00 check to say what???? She’s getting paid. Uhm…yeah…You’re gonna need a few more 00’s to catch up to Michele’s bank and how bout taking that $100,00 and buying you a new stylist, attitude, talent and class!
SHelly…I’ll b waiting! (you know I got chu)lol
Stay on topic please
No. I was addressing Michele directly and I reserve the right to express my opinion on this site about anything I like. We’ll have to agree to disagree on this one. I appreciate you being polite about expressing yourself though
OF course you do :), I was asking that you stayed on topic because people love to try that SR mess and next thing you know it’s a ton of foolishness.. keisha isn’t on this post, but she’s on another one that Michelle has done..I only become a smart ass when it’s needed..this wasn’t it
noone cares about this topic or kandi played out ass
@2beme maybe you shoold coose another topic to post on #freespeech
Silly child, I already explained it to who I needed to your ass needs to stay in your lane..as far as no one caring about this topic..YOU do..YOU commented..don’t make the mistake of thinking you can talk shit just because you’re behind a screen boo boo..and learn to spell
what’s spelled wrong u idiot…get a job and stop posting your opinion on this blog so much
Tiny wasn’t there for the the photo op with xscape either. What’s Tiny’s issue with the girls?
Seems like Kandi has reinvented herself or has moved on so far she is shutting down anything that will release those skeletons.
Is it true she slept with all those people?
Hells to the Yes can’t wait ! Like my momma always said "1 monkey" don’t stop no show.
If Kandi could not make the event then she could not make it. Very simple. Move on, folks.
Bow Wow should know better than to call out another artist when he should be minding his own business. Bow Wow, you are going to attend so that should be enough for you to know that you did your part. Why must you drag someone else through the mud?
On the flipside, Kandi is holding this grudge forever. You can tell by her physical reaction and statements when anyone mentions the word "Xscape."
I would like to see her exercise the same caution with these men she brings in her life and around her daughter that she does with her former group mates.
I forget which sister made the comments, but she did apologize. Let the grudge go. Harboring ill feelings for years is not healthy and will block your future blessings.
Truth be told, Kandi would probably do wonders for her own career if she DID reunite with Xscape for a few hits. Correct me if I am wrong, but her last album was a dissappoinment in both sales and sound. Interest in Kandi as a solo artist is basically non-existant.
As a singer yes Xscape would be ideal, as a songwriter she makes more money and that’s why she doesn’t need them..she wasn’t allowed to write at all with Xscape and has done wonders for her career outside of it, no one knew she could write until she and Tiny were given that chance and it wasn’t from JD. Yes he’s given her, her start but she doesn’t owe him anything else..There may be other issues we aren’t privy too..it simply sounds like she’s moved on from that part of her life
Thanks. And, yes, I know that she makes more money as a writer and producer, but I also know she wants recognition for her work as a vocalist as well, which did not happen with that last album.
I’m mainly just waxing sentimental and hoping to hear "Understanding" live again. At the end of the day, if you have evolved past a certain point in your life it really is hard to go back.
But the fans would love to see them come back together again. It really is as simple as 1, 2, 3.
I do agree, would love to see an Xscape reunion but sadly..never gonna happen
Very smart non ignorant statement….
we have to consider all aspects and not base decision on a one side comment
I agree totally, there could be other issues at hand or she just wants to move one

I know me i dont go or care to go my life is fowards not backwards

"I would like to see her exercise the same caution with these men she brings in her life and around her daughter that she does with her former group mates."-CHUCCHHH!
Well said, and I pray a Morgan Freeman, Mendeeceelo Harris type brothers are not around her either!!!
I don’t know Mendeeceelo, but he was cleared a day or so ago.
If someone blamed me for breaking up the group and they knew it was a lie, but said it anyway because I’m the person currently with the spotlight. I wouldn’t do anything to assist them in making a comeback either. JD has nothing to do with it and Bow Wow, just wants some attention. I would say to Bow Wow thirsty much; ask Kenya how that’s working out for her!
Personally, I really liked Xscape as a whole. They were to me a kind of ghetto version of the Funky Diva’s themselves Envogue. They could sing really well and had great songs. The choreography was never together though. I would luv to see them on stage again…

It’s very easy to sit on the sidelines and say how someone should feel. Not one person on this blog knows what actually happened within that group. If she doesn’t want to show up for him there has to be a reason.
Exactly and the reason are mainly the Scott sisters….
Kandi has 35 million reason why Bow-Wow (still not sure why he is named after the sounds dogs make) can kiss her ASS-ets. At a certain point in life you must do what is best for yourself, even if it’s unpopular, in order to enjoy life. We already know she is a giving person. Damn, Kim still owes for 40k and she was like, “keep it, I’m good.”
In my opinion, this decision not to perform does not tarnish her image. Kandi has enough gwap and writing talent to disappear from the spotlight right know. Millions of women wanted to be on the RHOAL, Bravo called and asked her. She didn’t interview or ask them for a handout. She gets out here and grinds every day and isn’t flashy doing so. I got mad respect for her. Bow-Wow, go kick rocks.
I love how JD ignored the drama. Who has time for drama if they are busy making money?
We’re still discussing this same old bull?
CAN WE GET SOME NEW POSTS?????????
Funky Dineava said it best…If Beyonce can help Kelly and Michelle eat by bringing them to Super Bowl, then so can Kandi with Xscape. Let’s face it Kandi is NOOOO Beyonce…so get over yourself and be the bigger person.
BTW…Kandi is Funky Dineava’s manager…he’s just speaking the truth.
ok, THAT I did not know..manager….hmmmm
[…] Jermaine Dupri Speaks On Bow Wow’s Kandi Rant… […]
I was watching "Watch What Happens" when Kandi was on and she clearly stated that there would never be an X-Scape reuinion with her in it so maybe that is why she had no issue declining the invite. I don’t see anything wrong with that. Maybe she feels that compared to what she is doing now, doing this concert would be considered low-budget, talent show caliber. As she said in her song "I fly above"…..lol!
Wait JD is accused of being a pedophile, and proven so much so that Janet bounced on his ass. Kandi don’t have to do shit. Bow Wow look stupid for bumping his gums like a bitch.
& JD is successful because he "Flys Above" the BS…Did I mention this is also why Kandi is successful. Bow Wow should be looking at them both as mentors & asking them how best to invest his 106 & Park money. Because I promise you if he attempts to make another movie or song I will stab him. Sorry, I am committed to ensuring the world against suffering "The Lottery 2" or any tracks his lame ass is on.
On the flip side, unfortunately many women Kandis age (myself included) regret 1 or 2 relationships/sexual liaisons from 20 years ago. Lucky for me no one cares or will go on a radio show & discuss it. Homegirl (Tosha or whoever) can apologize all day, but that -ish is in the Internet & will never go away. I’d tell that big bitch to kick rocks too. It’s not about a grudge. It’s much simpler. Keep messy bitches out of your life. Why did homegirl do that interview anyway…15-16 years later…she still mad? This could’ve been settled in the 1990s, girl please!
