Todd Tucker Reportedly Furious with Wife Kandi Burruss After She Splurges on Porsche for Daughter

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kandi Burruss recently bought her teenage daughter Riley Burruss a pricey SUV without her husband Todd Tucker‘s consent, reports claim.

Burruss celebrated her daughter’s 16th birthday last week and went all out for her. The singer surprised her daughter with a customized Porsche Cayenne. A source told Radar Online that Tucker did not agree with the purchase of the vehicle. “Todd was livid Kandi bought Riley such an expensive car and they had a huge fight,” the source told Radar Online.

Tucker reportedly even recommended that the Xscape singer get Riley cheaper transportation. “Todd told Kandi she’s spoiling Riley and preferred she get a Honda Civic as her first car. Kandi basically told Todd to mind his own damn business and that it’s her own money that she’s using to spoil her daughter,” the source said.

According to a source, the production coordinator isn’t often in control of many things in the household. “Kandi’s always reminding Todd that she’s the boss of the family because she has all that money. That irritates the hell out of Todd and is the catalyst for many of their fights.”

Although sources say Tucker may have had a problem with the purchase of the luxury wheels, a photo Burruss posted on Instagram might indicate otherwise. Tucker is seen in the photo smiling and taking a picture with the birthday girl and his wife and the vehicle.

 

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.
