Kandi Burruss and some of Atlanta’s most prominent and talented baddies linked up for a stunning photo at YouTube Music’s 2020 Leaders and Legends Ball.

From left to right, Tammy Rivera, Toya Wright, Monica, Tameka “Tiny” Harris and Burrus looked nothing short of drop-dead gorgeous in their gowns.

Burruss and Rivera both draped their curvaceous figures in gold gowns, Wright and Monica both wore cleavage-baring flowing gowns, while Harris stood out in a bold blue dress.

Fans got one glance at the photo and immediately clamored to shower the women with compliments.

“Women of power right there!! đŸ‘đŸ”„đŸ‘”

“Well da–, show up and show out ladies đŸ”„đŸ”„”

“Ain’t nobody badder than this clique”

“The real RHOA!”

Harris, who also shared the photo, captioned it the “Rich Wives Club of Atlanta …đŸ€Ș either we are one or have been one!! We all got a hell of a story that’s relatable to every real woman!!”

Each of the women is also a star on a reality show, from “T.I. and Tiny: Family & Friends Hustle,“ the “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” to “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta.”

Each of the women looked like trophies from head to toe, so much so that it’s easy to forget they were all in attendance to honor iconic LaFace Records.

“The thing that keeps sticking with me when I look across this room and see all the talent — if we had anything to do with inspiring this — to me that’s God’s blessing,” said Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds at the event held at the Atlanta History Center.

Edmonds and La Reid, who co-founded the record label together, greatly influenced the musical careers of Atlanta legends such as TLC and Usher, and they even played a part in bringing the “living legend” Toni Braxton’s talent to the masses.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
