Kandi Burruss
Arguably the most well known of the original members of 90s R&B quartet, Kandi Burruss has moved mainstream and is a ‘Real Housewife of Atlanta.’ Although unmarried, the singer/songwriter has been a staple on the program since its second season when she boasted that she was an “independent woman and doing it for herself.” Burruss is still a part of the RHOA franchise and recently purchased two homes in Fayetteville, Georgia which were both showcased on the program.
Before her time on television, Burruss was blamed for the breakup of Xscape due to her intimate relationship with producer Jermaine Dupri who discovered the band. Her ex-bandmate Tamika Scott was adamant that Burruss and Dupri’s tryst put a strain on the group that led to them disbanding. Buruss has never denied her relationship with Dupri, but contends that it was not the reason for Xscape’s break up and her departure in 1999.
