Word on the street is that Kandi Burruss can’t take the heat associated with her appearances on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta and has decided to leave when her contract is up this season. Of course you’ve heard of the drama between she and NeNe Leakes, well I got a chance to chat with Kandu up close and personal during the Madden 10 MVP Premiere Party where she confirmed to me that the “drama” is indeed real.
Kandi feels that NeNe is a faker who plays all of her “friends” off of each other. While most people labeled her castmate, Sheree’ Whitfield as the troublemaker it was NeNe all along. During her brief period on the show, Kandi, being from the “A,” is not one to sit by and be disrespected so she never fails to stand up to NeNe, which in turn causes conflict. I guess all the other castmates kiss “A”zz while Kandi stands her ground. Being that we’ve only seen a few episodes so far, the real drama has yet to be seen on the show.
I also asked Kandi about her relationship with her fiance Ashley “A.J.” Jewel and inquired if they’d set a date. Kandi explained that there was no date and that the show has been a major stress factor in their relationship. Now before you start the rumor that Kandi and AJ are no more, I recently overheard AJ bragging about being engaged to Kandi so I’m assuming they’re still together.? Whatever the case, Kandi’s decision to join the housewives cast seems to be causing more drama in her life than ever. I hope that she decides to continue to stand strong and represent for the real hometowners but I can’t blame her if she decides to dip.
My boo Drama Dupri also has a lot to say about the whole Kandi leaving RHOA situation. He’s playing devil’s advocate and supporting Team NeNe while I’m riding for Kandi all day errr day.? Peep his hilarious commentary below:

? and the book just hit the shelves. Check out the overview:
Outrageous, captivating, and unafraid to tell it like it is, Nene Leakes shares her wild journey from a scandalous past to the pinnacle of reality television stardom. Lauded by her fans for her refreshing honesty, infectiously genuine style, and clever sense of humor, Nene is an empowered, self-made woman who has not forgotten where she came from and knows exactly where she wants to go.
In this straight-talking and provocative memoir Nene charts her journey from family black sheep to single mother to making good and realizing her dreams. With her charm and bold, self-possessed voice, Nene tackles her painful childhood; the abuse she suffered at the hands of a violent boyfriend; her struggle to support her firstborn son; and her path to true love, self-acceptance, and pride.
In Never Make the Same Mistake Twice, Nene dishes on her cast mates; takes on the rumors about her past; and shares hard-earned and inspiring life lessons in her fierce, no-nonsense, and irreverent style.
I’ve heard that it’s a page turner for RHOA fans since NeNe spared no details in describing her experiences on the set. She even spilled the beans about being a bit tipsy during the first episode. Continue Reading…

I’ve obviously been slacking on my pimpin! I just found out that yet another Real Housewife of Atlanta castmember has been booted from their Atlanta mansion for foreclosure. Hmmm…let’s see. That makes 3 housewives out of 5.? The odds aren’t looking good right now for the other two. I dunno if it’s a RHOA curse or what, but somebody needs to intervene and get these chicks some financial counseling…STAT!
Read the full story over MissJia’s Spot… I’m too distraught to blog about this ish!

Custom Whipz Auto Spa held a special Meet & Greet last week geared towards connecting artists directly with bloggers and media in Atlanta. Kaspa Da Don (of Hittmenn Dj’s and Zone 4) spear headed the campaign to unite these two forces and recruited me to gather up the troops. Now…this was the first EVER event that I personally had a hand in and I accepted the challenge.? Drumma Boy, Pretty Ricky, Young Dose, Poppa Snoop, Big Bank Black, Lo Fat, Mika Means, DeeDee Cocheta (ABC Publicity), Willie Hustle, Tommy Gunz and more all came through. Check out the flix below:
