‘Looking Like Riley’: Kandi Burruss Fans Almost Mistake Her for Teenage Daughter in This Pic

It looks like Kandi Burruss and her 17-year-old daughter Riley Burruss are carbon copies of each other.

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star flaunted her new Fendi getup that she purchased from rapper Nicki Minaj’s new collection with the company. Burruss took to Instagram on Wednesday and posted a photo of herself rocking a hot pink moto jacket with a black tank top, distressed jeans and Mickey Mouse-stamped sneakers.

Burruss opted for a light makeup look and struck a girlish pose on her staircase. She included as a photo caption: “Pretty in pink!💓”

Her post drew over 50,000 likes and several compliments. A slew of fans also commented on how much the mother of three resembled her eldest daughter.

“Looking like Riley 🤣,” one fan said. ” I see 👀 those Fendi prints on Nicki Minaj sneakers. 🔥”

Someone else wrote, ” Awww you look really cute in your pink jacket and your pink shoes and your black pants! I almost thought you were Riley for a second”

A second person commented, ” 🔥 you’re my favorite housewife!! u and riley look just alike❤️❤️ me and baby look just alike too it be crazy when we be out together”

A fourth added, ” @kandi I thought you was Riley for a minute.. u look amazing love the outfit. 😍”

Riley is Burruss’ firstborn, who she shares with Russell “Block” Spencer, a music producer for Block Entertainment.

In November, the 43-year-old mother decided to expand her family with husband Todd Tucker. Already sharing 4-year-old son Ace Wells together and Tucker already having 23-year-old daughter Kaela Tucker from a previous relationship, the couple welcomed their daughter Blaze Tucker via surrogate on Nov. 22.

The “RHOA” star finally shared photos of her baby girl on social media in December and wrote, “Our little angel is doing well! She was born yesterday 11-22-19 at 6:54pm. 8lbs & 1oz! Her name is Blaze Tucker. Thank you to everyone for the love & well wishes! She’s gonna Blaze a path to greatness! @blazetucker is our newest heartbeat.”

Kandi seems happier than ever to become a third-time mother. On Jan. 8, she posted a picture of her and baby Blaze with the caption, “I love my little doll baby @blazetucker ❤️ “

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
