Kandi Burruss Claps Back at Ex Todd Tucker Over Promo

It seems the post-divorce peace Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker were aiming for has hit a major snag! Just weeks after finalizing their divorce, the exes are reportedly in a heated exchange, and it’s all thanks to a throwback clip used to promote Kandi’s new one-woman show, ‘I Did, I Do, I’m Done.’

The Promo That Sparked Drama

To drum up excitement for her show, Kandi shared a classic clip from ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ featuring her mother, Momma Joyce, famously giving Todd a piece of her mind. For those who remember, Momma Joyce used the tune ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’ to imply Todd was a ‘lemon’ who couldn’t provide for her daughter. It was a memorable, albeit uncomfortable, moment from their past.

Todd, who officially divorced Kandi on March 25, 2026, reportedly felt that Kandi was “weaponizing” his past struggles with her mother to sell tickets for her show about moving on from their marriage. Sources close to Todd claim he feels he spent a decade proving he wasn’t a ‘lemon,’ and using that specific moment for promotion was a ‘low blow.’

Kandi’s Fiery Response

But Kandi, never one to back down, had a strong response. During a recent Instagram Live, she addressed the controversy head-on, stating that the events were part of her life and her story. She made it clear she wouldn’t edit her history just because it makes someone uncomfortable now.

At the end of the day, that happened. That is my life. That is my story. I’m not gonna sit here and edit my history because it makes you uncomfortable now. Please stop playing the victim. You were there, the cameras were there, and the tickets are selling. Period! — Kandi Burruss

Her message was clear: the past is part of her narrative, and she’s using it to her advantage. The tickets are selling, and she stands by her promotional choices.

The Divorce Settlement Details

This public spat comes just a month after the finalization of their divorce, which involved a significant financial settlement. Kandi reportedly paid Todd a lump sum of $426,000 to divide their assets. In terms of vehicles, Kandi kept her 2022 Bentley SUV and vintage Camaro, while Todd received a 2023 Range Rover and a 1973 Ford Bronco.

A major point of contention during the divorce proceedings was Todd’s living situation. As part of the settlement, he was required to move out of Kandi’s guest house within 15 days, a detail that caused significant friction.

Momma Joyce’s Reaction

And what about Momma Joyce, the catalyst for this whole situation? Reports suggest she’s ‘beaming’ over the divorce. While Kandi mentioned her mom hasn’t explicitly said ‘I told you so,’ her ‘energy’ speaks volumes. Kandi admitted on ‘Watch What Happens Live’ that her mother clearly feels vindicated in her long-held belief about Todd being a ‘lemon.’
