Is Kandi Sweet or Sour?
This weekend everyone was talking about the So So Def 20th Aniversary in Atlanta. Amongst other stars in attendance 90’s R&B group Xscape was in attendance kind of, sort of. A couple of weeks before So So Def’s Anniversary rapper Bow Wow came at Kandi for bailing out of the festivities so it’s not really shocking that she didn’t perform during the concert. Don’t think that she skipped the concert because she thought she was better and more current than the others, that is supposedly not the case. Kandi didn’t participate in the concert due to unresolved issues and tension with other group members.
In a recent interview with Sister to Sister Kandi stated:
“I’m just going to be honest and tell you, I don’t feel like all the members of my group, they don’t really have love for me like that. Tiny has love for me, but over the years people have told flat-out lies about me in public, dogged me, blamed me for everything that done went wrong in their life. To me, it’s just a situation where I feel like I don’t want to go back to that.
To this day now, I have to see people try to say that I had sex with Jermaine’s father. She said that just to make me look bad to people. She came back to apologize to me, but she never apologized in public. It’s not true. It was a flat-out lie. When people do stuff to try to damage you or bring you down to the public, that’s hateful.
That’s just not something I want to revisit.”
LaTocha who is a former member of Xscape got her 15 minutes of fame in the past when she made headlines when she was on Hot 97 and bashed Kandi for sleeping with Jermaine Dupri and breaking up the group.
LaTocha claims that she has no idea what unresolved issues Kandi is talking about.
While talking with Egypt, LaTocha said:
“My thing is the only unfinished business I can think of is the fact that we didn’t go onto the other albums that we were supposed to do. Other than that, I don’t understand where the unfinished business comes in at. I don’t know what she’s talking about.[…]We talk. I mean times you know…we kind of spread out. Everyone found out what life was like outside of the group so I don’t know. You know when she says unfamiliar business, I would have to talk to her.
I don’t know why people want to continue to hold on to the negative. I think we’ve all progressed in life, you know, everybody’s doing their thing. Big ups to Tiny and Kandi for standing in their lane with the television show. It’s great for them. And I just don’t understand why we have to keep going back to the negative. I want to move forward. I want to see 20 years, you know what I’m saying? This whole 20 year reunion is big for me, but to say you’re not going to do it because you feel like we have unfinished business is…I don’t want to say it’s insulting to the fans, but it’s like come on, it’s not even about that. Let’s get out of self and let’s think about what we did for music.”
I really think Kandi should have sucked it up and did that concert. A lot of fans probably really wanted to see them all together on one stage again.
