The Real Housewives of Atlanta has collected millions of viewers who watch this series every Sunday night. Through all dramas, relationships, gossip and backstabbing premise series has charming viewers for 6 seasons now. This event has become the most successful Bravo show. Former recording artist Kandi Burruss joined the circus in season 2 and has been a fan’s favorite for many years. Because of the success of the event, The Stars Command Major Pay like Nene Leakes reportedly produced $ 1 million per season. But Kandi Burruss produced millions before the series and had found a way to milk the event that made more money. His net worth is $ 20 million. Although Nene might claim he’s “a very rich prostitute”, Kandi got his beat by millions of people.
Kandi is one of the few women at the event who was truly born and raised in Atlanta. He has a childhood that is not like most of being part of one of the most successful R&B women groups in the 90s. Kandi is one of the four singers in Xscape. Kandi together with the group sold more than 5 million albums worldwide. Their most successful single “The Arms of One Who Loves You” sold more than 2 million copies and became the 20th largest sales single in 1998. The group finally separated in 2000 after their last project “Traces of My Lipstick.” But Kandi continued his career in writing music for a number of artists including TLC, Alicia Keys, Destiny’s Child, Pink, Whitney Houston, Boyz II Men and many others. He and former bandmate Tameka Cottle got a Grammy Award to participate in writing no scrub in 1999.
Kandi’s solo career is short but sweet released the album “Hey Kandi” in 2000. The first single of the album “Don’t Think I’m Not” is the main international hit chart in New Zealand, Australia, the Netherlands and number 9 in England. This song reaches number 24 on Billboard Hot 100 and number 4 on the hip-hop/R&B chart.
In season 2 Real Housewives of Atlanta Kandi was introduced as part of the players. He is friends with former opponents playing Lisa Wu Hartwell. Vice President Bravo at that time Andy Cohen interviewed him personally to the series and thought he was very suitable to replace Deshawn Snow. Kandi is a favorite of fans and is trapped by the show. Bravo even offered him $ 600K reported for season 5 plus a bonus to appear at Special Reunion. In the series he managed to start a feud with Nene Leakes, friends with Kim Zolciak and later became an enemy of the royalties of the single ‘Don’t Be Tardy for the Party’. Kim employs Kandi to write and produce singles but Kandi has never received royalties for tracks that sold more than 225,000 coffee on iTunes that produced KIM more than $ 115,000.
At the event, fans also got a deeper view into the mind of a con artist. Kandi has expanded his brand to insert a sex toy line called “Kandi bedroom”. This path is sold at 5 -star hotels for guests, online retailers, and upper boutiques. The cost for one of his toys can be charged up to $ 250. He also started the event late at night through the web called “Kandi Koated Nights.” The popularity of the event has developed rapidly and is seen as a means of publicity for several stars, athletes and the largest entertainers in Atlanta. Momma Dee Love & Hip Hop is in an episode. He was also paid $ 50,000 to promote a new weight loss system called “simple plate”.
Apart from the beef with a Cor Kandi pair also managed to find love with Todd Tucker. Todd is an executive producer in the series when they meet. The couple’s relationship has become the center of the majority of dramas at the event. Especially from the mother and family of Kandi who shared negative feelings towards Todd. The main problem is Todd finance. Todd worked as a producer for more than 10 years working for true entertainment which was founded in 2000. Todd has worked on a number of projects for production companies including ‘A Baby Story’ ‘A List of New York’ and ‘HGTV Design Bintang’. The salary is $ 90,000 for the last season of Atlanta Housewives. Because of his relationship with Kandi, he was forced to resign from working on the series because of the difficult policy of the network against the dating of the series stars.
Kandi expanded the television resume of its reality with his own series The Kandi Factory. The premise of the show followed Kandi when he hosted the competition for musical actions that had not been found and amateur. They record music, practice and perform for Kandi who decided to offer a recording contract winner. The event was canceled in season 2. But Kandi pushed forward to add to his clean wealth with the musicals written, produced, and starring Todd was the co-product of the event. Burruss and Tucker planned an official wedding in 2014 but the couple was still working on upcoming projects including other reality series. So now he is the new Tyler Perry?
