Kandi Burruss: The Wedding is off
“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kandi Burruss disclosed that she is not getting married after all.
The pressures of the show and the drama associated with marriage has doomed the couple, she said.
“We’re on hiatus,” the former Xscape member said Friday on radio station WVEE’s “The Frank & Wanda show.”
Burruss, a new addition to the reality show, has been criticized by fans for wanting to marry “A.J.,” who is the father of six children.
Burruss’ harshest critic? Her mother.
“This is not the first time,” Burruss said, that her mother has tried to sabotage a relationship.
During a recent “Real Housewives of Atlanta” episode, Kandi’s mother walks off a photoshoot when A.J. sits down to take a picture with her, Kandi and her granddaughter.
The struggle and strife has apparently taken a toll on Kandi and her mother’s relationship.
Burruss said that it got to a point where she didn’t know if she wanted she and A.J.’s relationship to endure to spite her mother or because she was in love.
Another bombshell Burruss confirmed during a V-103 interview was that former Xscape member Tiny and A.J. did date previously. Albeit 10 years ago.
Burruss admitted that after the group broke up she and Tiny weren’t even on speaking terms, and that’s when A.J. and her former Xscape colleague dated.
But the girls mended fences, and when A.J. came around years later, Burruss said she ran it by Tiny to see if it was cool.
“[Tiny] said he was cool, that she wasn’t even thinking of him like that,” she said.
The two went out and “I really liked him,” Burruss said.
When asked about A.J.’s employment, Burruss kidded that he was sort of like “Tommy” on the 1990s sitcom “Martin,” but she said that he had several businesses, including a debts collection agency.
She refused to get into his past, telling Frank Ski to ask A.J. himself.
“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” has been a ratings queen for Bravo. The second-season premiere earlier this month brought in the highest ratings of any “Real Housewives” franchise and was the highest-rated Thursday in Bravo’s history.

Interracial Dating: Black Women Finding Love Outside America
First. You go girl! Second. I think we need to talk about black women and dating from here to out yonder. The more black women date outside...
I feel so bad for his kids! She seems like a stable girl and she will get over this, but this was so unexpected especially since he had a nephew in the hospital due to a drunk driver! It’s crazy how life changes so quickly! Tell everyone how you feel so when they/you depart you won’t wonder if they knew exactly how you felt about them!!!
She obviously had some issues in the back of her mind in order to call the wedding off. Although, he has 6 children with 4 different women I’ll just say it seems that he is afraid to commit. I would like to know how long was he in a relationship with each of the women he has children with? Why keep having babies? Why not use protection cause in this day and age you can’t go by how someone looks. I see it all the time where ppl come in the hospital to deliver and find out their H.I.V. positive and there seems to be a growing number of women who come in infected with H.S.V. as well as H.P.V.amongst other well known STD’s. It’s pathetic because we are not in a third world country that may not have access to all that the U.S. has. There is Planned Parenthood,Free Clinics where you can get condoms,literature,testing etc.. but ppl feel they’d rather not know than to know. If you are sleeping with mutiple partners unprotected then don’t expect anyone to feel sorry for you and your ignorant behavior! We wonder why A.I.D.S. is so prevelant in the black community.
P.S. Ladies before you come to the hospital wash your as@ and put on some clean under garments. Being poor doesn’t mean you have to be nasty!
i wonder how everyone who bashed him as a person feels now that hes gone clutch should do a reflective article
so sad for kandi, but she is very tough, now she really needs her friends, but now kandi needs to watch out for kim,she will use you up, listen to the other girls about kim, because kim is not REAL, shes a PIG!!!!
kim gives women in general a bad name, Big papa needs to own up to who he is, hes a pig also, so blaitent, i feel sorry for his wife, she needs to run.
Kandi… That WHOLE situation was messy. But whats done is done. I do believe that your mom’s underlined hate for A.J. was to try to prevent this marriage and then you be a widow. I think that even your mom didn’t know why she hated him so much. Much love to you.
I want to first say, Kandi you are a beautiful woman inside and out. YOU should not want a man that first is not responsible for all his life choices, Seconded you dont have to seddle, because you want to be married. Yes life is about choices and making a choice with a man with 6 kids and was not married too!! either one of them says a lot. not a good thing at all!!! Kandi you will find your soul mate and God will bless you with someome that loves you for you.
I know that AJ had died, but count that as a blessing God is looking out for you.. THE NAME XSCAPE is truly what you did from a choice that would have made your life a living hell.
Im a real man…that is talking to a real woman.
i thought he was dead or at least i know what is true sorry for your lost andd if he is not dead then im steal sorry that you are not getting married
“….one of these people just doesn’t fit” Remember that tune? You, Kandi, are lovely. The ‘other’ women on the show are not. What’s with all the back stabbing? I don’t understand. You are authentic and nonjudgmental and N I C E
(imagine that!?!?…huh), a nice woman…what a concept… the others give women a bad name!
I know that inside of you lives an extremely fragile and very sensitive woman… I feel so sad for your loss. For the stress your Mom put you through. It must be very difficult now to forgive her and move forward. I don’t know that I could. I SO hope and pray that you take some SERIOUS time for yourself (therapy and pamper time/healing time) I feel happy for AJ because he experienced love from you and joy with you (and you-him). He died knowing you loved him Kandi AND he loved you, obviously,or he would’ve RUN a long time ago/that had to be very painful for him. Nancy
Kandi think god for moms, Kandi you should watch out for kim. Kim’s not a real friend. And kandi if you were kim friend also you would tell her that (big P) is not right
He looked like he was good to her but it havent been a year and wanting to get married ,but you see how he died leaving a strip club that’s not a good man that a bad rep on kandi sayin “i told you so” i like kandi and she is tooo nice!~~~! :)now tragedi struck:( this gives people to talk about
Kandi, I think that you are the best housewife of all the housewives – Atlanta, The OC, New York, N.J., and~of course~ Atlanta.
Please don’t let them change you or your character- if they insist on you becoming a part of the other cast members high drama, please quit the show. You know that it is always a possibility (while the show isn’t actually scripted, it’s my understanding that situations certain situations are ‘created’ and scenirios ‘suggested’. Example: on the NJ show when Danielle entered the restaurant where book argument and the table flip occured- Danielle didn’t even have the book with her when she got to the restaurant! It was set up. Why do you think that they all kiss and make up at some point on the show- would Kim and Nee nee (aka pushy, loudmouth moose) ever want to be in the same room again?? Because they are pushed into drama and fights to keep the ratings going. They are really friends.
Kandi,
your # 1 on my list for a long a** time and still is. sorry for your lost. i do agree with your mom but as long you were happy everyone should be there with or for ya. i heard you on the radio in Dallas, Tx 97.9 the BEAT. your a real down to earth Woman and i love that about you. i’m in ATL a lot its my second home to visit.

Hello I know I am two years late but I don’t have cable or sattelite. I am just watching the show and I would to say I love it. Secondly the situation with Mr. A.J and Ms. Kandi from a spectators point of view the two seemed to be very happy other than the differences between him and her motrher. It does not matter if he has one or six kids even Ms. Landing stated he has his own and even with the kids they were a happy family and that he took care of them. Although the break they took happened for a reason even though they may have really been unsure why it occurred when it did God knows that does not make the hurt of loosing a loved one easier it was in God’s plan. I will continue to pray for Ms. Kandi and Mr. A.J children and family. God bless.
