‘I Did It’: Fan Calls Out Kandi’s Mother Mama Joyce After Watching Todd Tucker’s Sweet Moment with Son Ace

Father’s Day is right around the corner, but for “Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast member Todd Tucker, housewife Kandi Burruss’ husband, Father’s Day is every day. 

The 46-year-old uploaded a video to the ’Gram over the weekend of him spending quality time with his son Ace Tucker with a bottle flip game. 

@acetucker loves bottle flipping! If he didn’t try just one more time he would have missed his accomplishment! #keeptrying,” Tucker captioned the video.

Fans got a glimpse of the youngster trying to flip the bottle into Tucker’s hand. When Tucker asked his son if he was tired and wanted to do something else, Ace replied, “I’m going to do a different trick.”

Tucker encouraged his son to try one last time, and on the third try the bottle landed perfectly on Tucker’s hand. 

The 4-year-old cheered with glee after his accomplishment, with Tucker cheering him on. “Ohhh, bottle flip on the hand,” he said. 

Fans gushed over the father-son bond. 

“❤️Thank you, Todd, your sharing relationship with us!”

“You are truly a great father!!! The lessons he’s learning… the confidence! So important.. God bless you!”

“But how great a dad are you to keep holding your hand out. Good job, Ace!”

“I love it. He’s going to be one to never give up just like his parents 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾.”

“I love u Todd for being such a great dad something I never had, but I try to b the nest Mom I can be.”

“That was AMAZING!!!!! Great job, daddy daycare 🤣❤️.”

Most fans kept their focus on Ace and Tucker, but one fan brought up Mama Joyce, Burruss’ mother, who isn’t too fond of Tucker. 

“If Mama Joyce can’t look at you with your son/her grandson and instantly love you; she needs some medical attention 💕❤️💕.” 

Mama Joyce has been vocal about distrusting Tucker with her daughter Burruss’ money. 

During the season 12 finale of “RHOA” on April 19, Joyce told her daughter a story about a kid who was a trickster and stole her lunch money. 

“That’s when I stopped trusting people. Since first grade, I found out that people take your money. You have to watch people.” 

Burruss picked up on Mama Joyce’s hint that she was discussing Tucker but rebutted by saying her mother can feel however she wants. 

“At the end of the day, he’s my husband,” Burruss said.

In December 2019, Burruss tweeted that Tucker is not spending her money.

“He & I have made a lot of money together, which is what we use to invest in new business ideas,” Burruss tweeted. “He helped make it so he can help decide how it’s spent. Thanks for your concern, but we’re good!” 

Despite how Mama Joyce feels about Tucker being the husband of her daughter, Burruss is confident that Tucker helps her financially and contributes to their marriage and family life. 

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.
