During her newest appearance on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” Kandi Burruss addressed all the most talked about topics in “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” world — including her former collaborator Kim Zolciak-Biermann.

On the Sunday, July 1 airing of the program, Cohen kicked things off with Burruss by asking her what she thought of Ashley Darby‘s performance on “The Real Housewives of Potomac.”

“It wasn’t bad,” Burruss says. “I mean you know I can take something that’s not that great and make it great,” she added, taking a dig at Zolciak-Biermann for her 2009 song “Tardy for the Party.”

“She has potential but I’m done with you housewives in the studio,” Burruss says. Despite the slight at Zolciak-Biermann, Burruss revealed she harbors no hard feelings toward her former co-star when a caller dialed in to ask about their friendship. “There’s no drama, we don’t even talk…We had stopped talking for a long time anyway and then we tried to start back talking for a short brief period and then we fell out again.”

The singer also gave an update on how NeNe Leakes’ husband Gregg is holding up since he was diagnosed with cancer.

“I just saw them, I went to Miami and hung out with them. Gregg is in great spirits, but as a friend, you obviously hate to see him even going through that. So it kind of touched me to see that he’s in this situation, but he has great spirits,” she said, adding that it’s important for him to relax.

Burruss wasn’t out of the hot seat after that, however. A caller wanted to know about Kenya Moore’s baby bump, which has been a major topic of discussion after doubters continuously accused the RHOA star of faking her pregnancy.

“Well, I just recently ran into Kenya and rubbed the baby bump. She’s doing great and I was just so excited to see her,” Burruss says of running into her co-star at the airport last month. “She’s still going back and forth from New York to Atlanta.”

Burruss also noted “it was cool and random” after Cohen asked about the odds of running into Moore at the airport in that manner.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
