Kandi Burruss Ignores Reported Feud with Porsha Williams, Celebrates Business with Family

Kandi Burruss is continuing to grind amid rumors of another rift between her and “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” co-star Porsha Williams.

It was a busy Saturday for Burruss as she celebrated her adult toy line, Bedroom Kandi at the 2018 Bedroom Kandi Convention and dinner.

“Hey, man, we’re not gonna get up for somebody else’s clock, we gotta get up every day on our own clock, be on our own business. That’s what it’s about,” Burruss said on Aug. 11 during a live stream of the annual event as new employees committed to being part of her business full-time.

Burruss had some family support at the event, too. She was joined by her children, 16-year-old Riley Burruss and 2-year-old son Ace Wells Tucker.

“My babies stopped by to see me while I’m at the #BedroomKandiConvention2018. @acewellstucker & @rileyburruss my ❤️s. Riley is rocking her #Queen jacket from @nickiminaj,” the proud mother wrote on Instagram.

Not to be forgotten was her outspoken mother, Mama Joyce, who was by Burruss’ side during the gala, too.

“My mom @mamajoyce1_ came to celebrate with me at our #BedroomKandiConvention2018 awards dinner. Thanks, @latashawright 💄 & @sewjodie for getting me together today!” the singer wrote.

The event is likely a welcome distraction from the apparent feud that’s brewing between Burruss and Williams.

On Friday, fans peppered the latter with questions over the state of her relationship with Burruss after she unfollowed the longtime RHOA star last week.

“Why you unfollow Kandi, she still follows you so clearly you have the problem! We was rooting for y’all beloved 🤨😂.”

“@porsha4real you’re beautiful my love… but what’s good with u and Kandi 👀…what happened?”

“Sis whats tea?👀 You and Kandi good???”

Fans were stunned by the sudden shift after Burruss had made it clear the duo made amends while shooting in Miami earlier this summer as they supported co-star NeNe Leakes.

So far, however, neither one of them has addressed the issue.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
