‘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”

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.
