‘Leave the Singing to Kandi’: Todd Tucker Has Fans Shaking Their Collective Heads with Serenade

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” reality star and Xscape group singer Kandi Burruss may share business ideas with her husband Todd Tucker, but the two surely don’t share the same singing skills. 

Tucker, who has two biological children with the songstress, Ace and Blaze Tucker, tried to showcase his vocal talent in a recent Instagram post.

“When your boy is @quinnsmusic, it makes you think you can sing!!!” Tucker captioned the video.

The 46-year-old recorded himself at a music session singing one of the R&B groups Jodeci’s hit songs, “Forever My Lady.”

Tucker was off-key and couldn’t keep up with the lyrics, and fans took notice and shared their thoughts on his lack of singing talent in the reality star and business owner’s comments section.

“Leave the singing to Kandi, please. U stick with Daddy daycare 🙉.”

“Whoa, now… Let’s leave that to🙌🤣 Kandi.”

“Hand the mic to Kandi, nice and slow lol; you are a producer, Todd. Let Kandi help you with the singing #duet.” 

“You said, ‘Listen’ like you were about to blow😳🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.”

“It took me a while to understand the REAL SONG! So Todd STOP💯💯💯🤣🤣🤣.”

“No, Todd singing is not your thing, baby. Please keep your day job, lmao. You sound horrible.”

Several fans recommended that Tucker stick to his producer’s life. He owns TTucker Productions LLC and has produced music videos, news programming, and reality shows, including the hit Bravo television series that he and his wife appear on.

While Tucker may not be able to hold a note, it seems as though he and Burruss’ son Ace is working on his music career early.

Burruss posted a photo of the 4-year-old in the studio last year with headphones on looking like he was ready to lay down a couple of verses.

“I had my baby @acetucker in the studio recording yesterday! He loved it & he did such a great job!” she captioned the December 2019 gallery photos. 

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.
