    They say ‘3rd time’s the charm’ and Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is getting a third go round at her own show.

    Kandi first went solo on Bravo back in April 2013 for The Kandi Factory which was a reality competition series that chronicled Burruss and her team’s quest to assist 16 aspiring artists jump-start their dreams of success in the music industry. The show aired for one season with 8 episodes.

    Burruss’s 2nd solo opportunity came during Kandi’s Wedding, a five-part wedding series that aired back in June 2014. Kandi and her husband Todd Tucker aired all their family drama as they prepared to walk down the aisle for their wedding ceremony.

    Now Kandi’s marital drama has sparked another spin-off for the Grammy-award winning songstress, as Kandi, her hubby Todd Tucker and their blended family hit the screen for a show tentatively titled, ‘Meet The Tuckers‘.

    SHOCKER!! Kandi Burruss’ ‘The Kandi Factory’ Gets Kancelled….

    Sep, 5 2013 | Written by ATLien

    Kandi Factory Canceled StraightFromTheA 1

    It looks like its curtains for Kandi Burruss‘ ratings tragedy “The Kandi Factory” and if you’re scratching your head wondering what’s that?, well apparently you’re not alone.

    [FLASHBACK: Kandi Burruss Hosts ?The Kandi Factory? Preview Party [PHOTOS]

    Bravo’s fast-food “American Idol” type show had the vivacious singer-turned-reality-star and her team of do-gooders [Kwame Waters, Don Vito and Victor Jackson] on a mission to turn an everyday kind of guy or gal into a superstar.

    With former ‘housewife’ Kim Zolciak being a ‘one hit wonder’ graduate of Kandi’s expertise, it seemed a win/win for both the network and Kandi to turn the guy or girl next door into a popstar, but sadly the show never picked up steam and the “contestants” who had little to no talent at all, were never even close to being superstars.

    Kandi

    Sorry Kandi….

    Due to the substantial amount of viewers on the special, Bravo picked up the series for a full season on April 4, 2012 and production for the first season of the series wrapped on December 17, 2012.

    Bravo Wants More Kandi! ?Kandi Factory? Spin Off Picked Up + RHOA Season Finale Sneak Peek Video!

    Apr, 5 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta totally rocked the “blue” carpet at Bravo’s Upfront 2012 event last night (April 4, 2012) and while rumors swirl that at least one Atlanta “housewife” got a pink slip last night, Kandi just keeps on winning!

    Take notes people… an entrepreneurial spirit will open doors for you, so it pays to be creative!

    Earlier this year, Kandi’s ?Bedroom Kandi??won an AVN award for ?Best Overall Sex Toy? line, an award that surprised even her (since she’d just launched a few months earlier).

    Remember Kandi’s mugshot? She posed for the photo during a celebration after “Bedroom Kandi” was offered a promotional partnership with the Hard Rock Hotel (Chicago).

    And did I mention she has a cute new boo? Yeah… things are going great for Burruss and it just got better with Bravo giving her the Greenlight for “The Kandi Factory”!

This ain’t reality TV — it’s real life, and it’s getting messy QUICK. And if Todd thought he was gon’ walk off with the kids? Kandi said: “Nah, I want it all.”

        For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — t For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — the love, the prenup, the babies, the fights, the businesses… all of it on reality TV.
But NOW that the divorce is in court, suddenly it’s “seal the documents & protect my privacy”? 🤔

Meanwhile Todd ain’t trying to seal a thing.
So what changed? And what doesn’t she want the public to see?
Let’s talk about it… 👀🍿

        They try to silence strong Black women for telling They try to silence strong Black women for telling the truth — but somehow misogyny gets rewarded with views, clicks, and applause.

What’s even more disturbing? So many women are cheering it on.
At some point, we have to ask: Why is disrespect toward Black women still profitable?

This isn’t entertainment.
This is accountability.

        This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, problematic rant — and it needed to be called out. Junkie Dineva went after Tamar Braxton’s parents, upbringing, and mental health for no legitimate reason, and that kind of misogyny should never be excused as entertainment.

Going viral for disrespecting Black women is the real issue — and that’s what we’re unpacking on ATLien Live.

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸
