We don’t often get much R&B beef that passes through timelines, but Kandi Burruss and Tamar Braxton are going at it online. The singers have been longtime acquaintances in the industry, even performing at shows together throughout the years. They’ve also both found success in unscripted television, so it isn’t surprising that the pair run in similar social circles. However, months ago, Braxton shared a story about being threatened by a cast member of Real Housewives of Atlanta and their husband. During her recent stint on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Braxton revealed it was Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker.
The mention has caused an eruption on social media, and all day (March 20), Braxton and Burruss have been going at it. “Before y’all start.. I left the situation alone. but the fact is kandi & Todd wanted to fight me!! Periodt!! There was witnesses and Jr came to the next show to check Todd and she nor he won’t address it cause how do u defend that? The facts are the facts tho. I’m off it #changed.” She also told a fan she’s not “scared of anyone or the truth,” so she decided to name names.
Kandi Burruss Claps Back
Initially, Burruss only reacted with an eye-rolling emoji, but she hopped on camera to clarify things. “Everybody’s wondering about the beef,” she said. “The only thing I’ll say right now is, you know, simply that that’s not true… He did not threaten her or none of that. So, that’s why I didn’t even wanna like address that on Amazon Live. She and I did have words, but he didn’t. I was like, mmm…yeah. Some people like to twist things a little bit, but we can talk about it later on a different platform. Or not!”
Braxton further insulted Burruss by dropping into The Shade Room‘s comment section. The outlet posted about Burruss’s ongoing tension with SWV over how much they get paid compared to Xscape. “Imagine having The biggest ego for the most non singing person in the entire music industry [eye roll emoji],” wrote Tamar. Later, she doubled down that Tucker intimidated her, and a photo of Braxton’s fiancé, JR Robinson, having a tense, private conversation with Tucker emerged.
“I am the victim when your man steps to a woman!!” Braxton added on her Instagram Story. “Sounds like an abused woman to me to see nothing wrong with that!! I hope he’s not beating your ass … I pray for your healing.” Check out the ongoing argument above.
