‘Oh Hell Naw’: Woman Calls Kandi Burruss’ Kids ‘Ugly’ and Fans Leap to the ‘RHOA’ Star’s Defense

Look here, Kandi Burruss said there ain’t gon’ be no calling her out of her name or calling her babies ugly!

While giving fans an update on her life, the O.G. “Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast member shared why she made her phone number available to the public, as well as how she enjoys interacting with her fans via text messages.

Well, apparently someone looking to get a rise out of the singer took things too far.

“Today I had somebody cuss me out,” said Burruss while laughing and explaining that her message to fans that day was one of inspiration and encouragement.

“Stop texting me b–ch,” is what one woman responded to Burruss’ uplifting words, prompting a brief dialogue between the women.

“She talking about stop texting me like I send her a whole bunch of texts, so I scroll back to see if she had sent me something. I said, ‘OK, it’s cool, don’t worry about it, I don’t have to text you no more,’” said Burruss.

The woman responded, “Yes you do. Sending me pics of your ugly kids.” With her arms up in the air and voice up an octave, Burruss exclaimed, “Bih … who, who, who you talking to! What! Jesus, please keep me together! Here I am trying to be positive, sending you a positive word, and you over here calling me a b–ch and calling my kids ugly!”

Already knowing that her fans would go in on the exchange, Burruss made sure to add, “Every now and then I just really be wanting to give them a piece of my mind. ‘Cause I can go in in the text message, OK!”

Fans were like, “say no more,” and came to the defense of Riley Burruss, Ace and Blaze Tucker.

“She know dayum well all your kids are beautiful.❤️”

“Aht aht aht … kids OFF LIMITS 💯”

“She said something about your beautiful kids!! Oh hell naw!😡😡😡”

“Sis is lonely bitter and obviously deflecting her issues onto you 😔”

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.
