‘My Little Lemon’: Mama Joyce and Ace’s Pic Goes Sour When Fans Bring Up Her Comment About Daughter Kandi Burruss’ Husband Todd

Exes aren’t the only blasts from the past that show up when you least expect it. So do not-so-sweet comments like the one Mama Joyce made about her daughter Kandi Burruss’ husband Todd Tucker.

Throughout their relationship Mama Joyce and Tucker have had their share of words, and it seems fans never forget, not even when looking at a photo of a proud grandmother with her four-year-old grandson.

“She’s thinking ‘my little lemon’ 😂,” wrote one person in reference to the time Mama Joyce told “Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast member Porsha Williams that “Kandi took a lemon and made lemondade” when she got hitched to Tucker.

The sour moment is clearly one that has stuck with fans. But aside from the past, and current tension building between Tucker and his mother-in-law, people were also able to appreciate the photo.

“Grandma holding her handsome grandson”

“Ace is seriously sooo cute! & looks like a perfect mix of his mommy & daddy!😍”

The little charmer has been stealing hearts since he was born in 2016, and now that he is big brother to newborn sister Blaze Tucker it seems his charm is only growing.

Since the newest Tucker’s birth in November 2019, big brother has been photographed hugging, holding and admiring his precious sibling.

“Look at how Ace looks at her ❤️” and “#BigBrotherGoals” write fans when admiring the siblings.

“The best big bro! @acetucker that’s right always protect and hold your sisters down!,” read the caption of a photo of the little one holding his baby sister.

The little man of the house is also his dad’s favorite ‘Daddy Daycare’ feature. The father-son duo are always in pictures with matching swag, out and about on an adventure around town or simply attending basketball games.

“Two good looking gentlemen 💕 Sharp as a tack.”

“🔥Father like son”

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.
