Kandi Burruss disclosed during a recent interview that she and Marlo Hampton had a temporary feud while shooting season 14 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

Burruss, who was promoting her upcoming spin-off show “Kandi and The Gang,” explained to “Daily Blast Live” co-host Erica Cobb on March 2 that the beef between her and Hampton was unexpected because she was one of the star’s biggest supporters.

The 45-year-old said, “Marlo and I had some real serious beef that happened this year. It was crazy. I wasn’t expecting it because I was one of the main people who were rooting for her to get her peach. I did not think we would have that type of falling out.”

She added that the pair now is on good terms, she added, “But we were able to fix it… You know its not like we’re still in a bad place. But at that time, I wasn’t sure we were going to come back from it.”

Burruss wrapped up her statement by saying that when the two were at odds with each other, Hampton had “a lot going on” in her life. This revelation comes months after the Xscape singer shared on her Amazon live that she and an unknown cast member got into a verbal altercation.

In January, Burruss said, “I bumped heads with somebody real bad. Real bad last week and I can’t tell y’all who it is because I got in trouble already for telling y’all scenes that’s happened during filming. But yes, I got into it real, real bad. They had me talking real crazy to them.”

The mother of three continued, “Please forgive me when you hear the stuff that I said. It was terrible. I was upset. I was mad. They was talking crazy to me too now, so it wasn’t one-sided. Be clear. It wasn’t just me. But y’all just have to wait till the show airs because I’m not telling y’all who it was.”

Details surrounding the premiere date of “RHOA” season 14 are unclear. Meanwhile, Burruss’ spin-off series “Kandi and the Gang” is set to air on March 6 at 9 p.m. EST on the Bravo Network.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
