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.

I'll keep my Beyonce' comment to myself, but Fantasia should have worn a better outfit. I don't think anyone should bash her for not losing...
I’m on the fence. Personally I couldn’t do it. 2 kids is my limit and I prefer 1 mom to deal with and hopefully that relationship is civil. 4? hell naw. But I feel Kandy was so hard pressed trying to convince others of her decision that she was really trying to convince herself. At the same time, she’s a grown woman and should do what she feels is best for her. Trying to make her mom happy should be a concern but at the same time, in the end, it’s not her mom that she is/was gonna marry. You can take advice all day but regardless who is giving the advice, you should still always follow your heart and your head. Sometimes mothers and fathers do not always “know” best. & some parents will never believe that someone is good enough for their child so you will con’d to give up love constantly if you’re always trying to please them.
KANDI U SHOULDN’T EVEN HAVE LOOKED AT YOUR EX- GIRLFRIENDS MAN!!!!! WHY HASNT HE MARRIED ANY OF THOSE BABY MAMA’S EVERY THING THAT LOOKS GOOD AIN’T?
It’s kinda sad that the wedding is off, Kandi seems like a really sweet woman but, six kids from FOUR different women!?
That’s a hella lotta baggage to deal with, if anything, she should use this time to get to know AJ more and about the different women in his life. Kandi’s mom should also at least meet with AJ and discuss her concerns about them getting married. From what I’ve seen from the show, she acted like she doesn’t want to be anywhere near him, she needs to grown up and realize that her daughter loves this man and she should at least hear him out and get to know him more.

Bottom line, Kandi should tell her mother to mind her own business and put out boundaries. Her mother is way too controlling—and the main problem to all and any future relationships that Kandi may have. And why listen to someone who isn’t married, relative or not???
THANK GOD………I KNEW SHE SHOULD NOT MARRY HIM. PLUS, LOOK AT WHAT HE DID….LEFT HIS TWINS AT HER HOUSE FOR HER TO TAKE CARE OF. KANDI’S MOTHER WAS RIGHT. I WAS IN YOUR SITUATION, THAT’S WHY I KNOW. GIRL, IT TAKES YEARS OFF OF YOUR LIFE AND THEN YOU HAVE TO PRAY FOR GOD (BECAUSE ONLY HE CAN) RESTORE YOU. GOD HAS SOMEBODY GREAT FOR YOU KANDI……LOVE YOU GIRL!!!
Well, this is good news, I am really glad she has decided not to marry him there were too many red flags. Six children and four babies mamas indicates he doesn’t take family to serious because he was producing babies left and right. Also, Kandi and AJ both seem secretive about his businesses. If you are a true businessman this show could be great advertisement for your business, even if you just mention the name. Second, and this will sound bad but I don’t care, I can’t stand a man who doesn’t speak clear and proper english. It just reeks ignorance. Yes, you can still be a good man and not speak well but who the hell wants to spend their life trying to decipher every word that comes out your mates mouth. I understand my last comment is debatable and more personal. And, I don’t like the fact that he hasn’t gone to Kandi’s mother to work things out. To me, if a man knows that his fiance’s mother doesn’t like him then he should be man enough to face the mother and speak to her concerns. Just my two cents…
GOOOOOO KANDI,,,NOW YOU SEE WHAT MOM SAW,,,TAKE CARE OF THOSE TWINS THOUGH,NO REAL MAN WOULD DROP HIS KIDS ON YOU LIKE THAT,,HE DID NOT GO TO MOM==HES A BABY
Maybe at this stage in her life, Kandi shouldn’t be marrying anyone. There are too many factors to consider (in this situation) when making such a big decision. I believe the most important thing to consider is the feelings of her daughter Riley. Children speak the truth. She is not thrilled at the prospect of her mother getting married or bringing other children into their relationship. If it is a big issue for the child, it should be a big issue for the mother. Secondly, this young man has many children with perhaps many mothers. This is not to say that the marriage could not be successful but there will be problems associated with him, his children and his children’s mothers that can’t be seen right now. I married a man with a four year old son. I had problems with the childs and with him because of her. He tried to keep the piece but in doing that, he created problems between he and I. These are problems that don’t just go away. Finally, this is not to say that she should not marry the young man. Just make sure that you look at everything and not just the fact that you love him. You can love him and not marry him. Best wishes from someone who has been there.
kandi is such a sweet girl with a wonderful pure spirit. personally I think her mother should let er grow by making her own mistakes but on the other hand it shows that she has a good ubringing. I love her spirit and pray that she continues to keep it pure .
may God bless her.
She’d have been NUTS to marry a man with that many babies with that many women. Life is too short to bring that soap opera to the door. And the other thing, did you see him on his cell phone the entire time during the King Tut Exhibit? Can you spell I-G-N-O-R-A-N-T? Ugh. Why do we women settle for less just to say we are married? I’d marry him if he was the last man on earth, God told me I have to do it, AND God gouged out my eyes to make it palatable!! Lol!

shut up Darlene, you are so cynical
Kandi, I would not let what people say stop me from marrying the man I love. If you really love him and he loves you marry the man and keep it moving.
A.J. was working at a strip club??? Talk about poor judgment…..may he RIP…I guess it’s been settled now, hasn’t it??? Poor Kandi….I’ll be praying for her!
P.S. Yes, I saw that “King Tut” episode and No I was not impressed by his text messaging during the exhibit. I was hoping he would be more attentive of Kandi and her time with her friends. Highn-sight is always 20/20….I’m sure it’s very painful for Kandi even though they broke up. Poor thing. =-(
Kandi you r the best out of all the other housewives all of them have too much drama like a energizer bunny it keeps going. Oh ur also the prettiest. They should have keep Deshuan and got rid of one of the others probably Kim no for sure Kim she’s phoney. But u keep it real and ur r sophsticated keep doing ur thing and making us proud ur mother should be very proud of u and i see where u get ur class from good job mom.
