Burruss said, “So my baby @blazetucker’s class were supposed to dress like community helpers.” Things took a turn after the 45-year-old added that she prepped Tucker, who was dressed as a mail carrier, on the wrong day. “So I sent Blaze to school as a mail carrier not realizing it was supposed to be for next Thursday! 😩 She was cute tho! 😍.”

In addition to the mishap, Burruss also shared an image of the toddler glaring at the camera. When fans began to view her post, a handful of them claimed that Tucker’s facial expression indicated how she really felt about the entire situation.

“Kandi she looks like she tried to tell you and you ain’t listen😂😂😍.”

“She’s not here for it 😂😂😂😂.”

“She is giving you the side eye lol. So cute!”

“Her face is like ‘Ma u had one job’ 😂😂”

“She don’t look amused at all! She like ‘why nobody else dressed up!?'”

While some mentioned Tucker’s glare, others pointed out how Burruss has to now get with a different attire for the actual dress-up day. One wrote, “She looks adorable… Now little mama got to pick something else for next week.” Another said, “Look at Blaze!!!!!!!!! She look so cute😂😍 !! Now what she gone wear next Thursday @kandi ? 😂.”

An Instagram user stated that Tucker will need a new wardrobe because everyone has already seen what she was going to wear. “Now you have to get her whole new outfit!! They already saw her drip, I don’t think she was feeling it anyway, tho!! 😂😅😍😘.”

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.
