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!! 😂😅😍😘.”

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.
