Kandi Burruss recently took the time to respond to a fan and set the record straight on why LaTocha Scott isn’t apart of the Xscape Tour.
As we previously reported, LaTocha made a lengthy post on Instagram to give her side of the story and explained the their Soul Train Awards dress controversy and the reason why she’s not on the tour. “First off, I’d like to apologize to all of the fans. It’s so unfortunate that I have to tell my truth this way. However, in this new space, I won’t be silenced by who has the bigger following. If I don’t say anything I’m dragged, and if I do say something I’m dragged. So here it goes… Me having my own stylist initially came when the group was at odds with the original stylist about being over charged.”

“The group as a whole felt a way about it, so when they decided to use him again, I had already made the decision to work with someone else to avoid the confusion. We’ve done 3 shows together that my stylist styled me and the other ladies wore looks by their stylist, which were all in sync just like the performance look from the awards. My stylist and their stylist was in contact all week about the performance look, so I don’t see how the same info wasn’t shared for the carpet.”
“Had any of my “sisters” come to my defense, it wouldn’t have gone this far. Instead, they watched me being dragged on the internet as if l’m the problem or this was done intentionally, which is untrue!!”
“The reason I am not doing the tour is because the promoter the girls are on tour with threatened my husbands life. The promoter was initially brought to the table by my husband for a few shows. Two of the ladies had COVID on the show dates, so my sister and I performed alone in ATL and the other show we had to pull out of. That’s where the deal went left over a situation that could have been resolved!!” She said.
In a recent Instagram post Kandi Burrus was promoting Xscape’s upcoming show in Atlanta on December 4th and a fan commented saying, “why y’all mistreating the other member of the group and stopping her bag?” Kandi replied saying, “I really hate that you believe that. She got a solo deal back in the summer & started saying she wasn’t available for shows. You will see when the tv show comes out.”
