What’s Beef? The Feud Between Xscape Members Kandi And LaTocha, Explained

Here's our attempt to break down the bad blood between the two stars.

At this year’s BET Soul Train Awards, the ladies of Xscape looked flawless as they accepted the Lady of Soul Award. It was presented to them by So So Def founder and producer Jermaine Dupri.

The legendary groupβ€”consisting of Kandi Buruss, Tameka β€œTiny” Harris and sisters LaTocha and Tameka Scottβ€”also performed a medley of hits including β€œWho Do I Run To?,” β€œMy Little Secret” and β€œJust Kickin It.” Tameka β€œTiny” Harris later told Entertainment Tonight:

β€œWe’ve been watching Soul Train pretty much all our lives and to get the Lady of Soul Award, to be recognized years after we [started] all our hard work, it’s an amazing honor.”

What was even more amazing is the composure the group managed to keep onstage despite a wardrobe mishap that happened earlier that evening. There seemed to be some confusion about why LaTocha wore an outfit that was completely out of sync with her bandmates on the Soul Train Awards red carpet.

She took to Instagram to share that β€œthey didn’t tell [her] anything” and β€œthere’s more to this than people know.” Buruss quickly replied to her claim saying she β€œchose to have a separate stylist from the rest of the group” and asked her to stop spreading β€œfalse narratives.”

Scott then revealed that Buruss apparently blocked her on Instagram. Though Xscape kicked off the R&B Music Experience tour on November 19, Scott refused to be a part of it. She said it’s because the promoter for it allegedly threatened her husband’s life, but the rest of the girls still chose to participate.

She took to Instagram story to share her side of the story:

β€œThe reason I am not doing the tour is because the promoter the girls are on tour with threatened my husbands life. The promoter was initially brought to the table by my husband for a few shows...the deal went left over a situation that could have been resolved!! The promoter then reference getting my husband’s β€˜head touched’ and me being a widow. Would you have gone on tour with him?????”

None of the women of Xscape have publicly responded to these claims, though LaTocha is now dealing with rumors that her husband is having a baby with another woman. Hopefully, things will get less chaotic for this brilliant singer very soon.
