" So I had a conversation with Jermaine and he said yes I think you should do a solo project, but me going solo was not the reason the group broke up." If a person leaves the group to go solo while everyone else is still invested in the group the person going solo is breaking up the group...how is that not common sense?! 🙄🥴
Funny she said Jermaine “told her to go solo” but she had already shopped around for a solo deal. This women comes off dishonest. She should ask Jermaine why her album never came out, unless she already knows the answer, and she just wants to continue with the victim narrative!
I believe she was mostly the reason but I don't agree that one person doing a solo project immediately breaks the group up groups can get back together when their schedules align anytime
@@pepelishis They said that Tocha was acting uninterested in singing and touring with the group, the first time, when SHE KNEW she was shopping for (had) a deal for a solo career, but she wasn't forth coming with them. Kandi said that they heard about it from others, but when they asked her about it, she said, "I'm not now, but if (or when) I decide to, I'll let y'all know". From my understanding, she came back shortly after that and told them that she was going solo and that Tamika and Tiny could "keep having babies" and Kandi should "pursue her little modeling thing". She pretty much made the same kind of sneaky moves then that she's making now. The difference between then and now is, back then, Tocha wanted the group to "hold off" while she pursued her solo act, whereas now, the remaining 3 members have decided to move forward without her. I'd say that she broke the group up the first time and would've succeeded again if the ladies wouldn't have decided to go on without her.
Trisha Monae Exactly that's why they were so mad at Kandi because all 3 of them was not strong enough to carry the group and also they still mad because Kandi was more successful then the sisters. It's nothing like a bitch wanting you to fail, and you succeed even more than imaginable.
LaTocha always had bitterness in her heart against Kandi. Even now whenever they do interviews as a group I can still see the animosity. Tocha knows Kandi is a boss and a money magnet and she's intimidated by that
When Kandi says, “Let’s be clear” she’s about to clear it. Either she’s a women of integrity and humility or she’s a good storyteller…I thinks she’s a women of integrity and honesty
@@deee3950 okay she got them brain cells to remember cuz she never drank or smoked. Idk but, miss lady definitely remember a lot of stuff and definitely clear some stuff.
So Tiny and Tamika just gonna sit there and act like Tocha ain't set up that third album to launch her solo career then bounced before promo was even finished? This is why Kandi don't trust them. Truth be told Tamika is the one though who refused to do the fourth album without Tocha which is how Kandi and Tiny became KAT and wrote No Scrubs for TLC in the first place. Karma is a b****! Kandi and Tiny still flourished without the Scott sisters who thought they were the stars/real talent of Xscape.
Team Kandi. Look how successful and talented she was after Xscape. First songwriting then reality TV and now her businesses. She’s so inspiring. They need to listen to her she knows what she’s doing
Kandi has had no success a a solo artist her writing got her the Grammy cause her solo projects were not good. Although I was riding . Nobody wants Kandi solo.The same can be said for a lot of former group members who venture out on their own. Everybody is not gonna be a Diana Ross or Micheal Jackson….heck even a Justin Timberlake.
@@deefleming6271 Kandi cannot sing other than her high pitched whistle ( and that too has dwindled over time ) she's pretty much successful off of her song writing ability and reality TV shows and that should be enough for most people.
I’m sorry but Kandi kept it real!! I never understood why when you have something good why mess it up?! I really truly understand how Kandi feels! I’m so glad tiny had Kandi’s back!
@@dameceosprings7400 Well Kandi said for the 3rd album they had big deal offer on the table , but the record label lowered the amount because Latocha wanted didn’t want to do promo for the 3rd album.
When you look at swv and xscape show tocha wasn't going to speak Kandi said hi twice for her to acknowledge her which is rude af, Tocha is her mother child and I swe why now
I love them all but Tocha is lying.... I'm remembering that Unsung moment where all three of the other girls spoke about how she bragged on them cause she was going solo.... And she even dissed her own sister saying that Tamika can probably go and make a bunch a kids now that she has more time on her hands.... She needs to own it.... Say sorry so the group can move on.... I don't like how she tries to be the boss... Cause no matter how pushy Kandi is, she has some good points when it comesto set list ideas and stuff and Tocha rubs me the wrong way when she took it upon herself soley to do the set list and all the other stuff.... Kandi is also a dominant like that and I think that if Latocha had a different personality, the group would run abit more smoothly cause it would be more of a democracy cause Latocha acts as if whatever she says should be the final say....
I know right1!! The set list should have been a group thing.. Who got Grammy for song Writing and you do not ask her!! come on now!!...She treating Kandi like she still a little girl that the problem!!
REECE RANALDO DE BUYS Exactly come on memory. I CAN'T STAND A BItcccc that cant stand and own her shit. TOCHA know damnnnn well her ass was the one thinking she was the shit. And the real gag is her sister is the better singer. Just because you sing louder, don't mean you're voice is better.
Chiiile, and now we find out the label had her in the studio for the 3rd album while leaving Tiny & Tamika out of the loop. Tocha is so self unaware its stunning! 😂
that sentence doesn't even make sense. How are you solo if you're part of a group??? she needs to watch her self back on tv saying that foolishness to really understand how messed up it sounds.
Kandi is a business woman (Taurus). That means she knows about strategy and risk assessment. She peeped the label's strategy from a mile and knew that, businesswise, she would be at risk and spoke up against it. What I take from Kandi's recollection is that the label was willing to invest more into Tocha's solo career than keeping XSCAPE a viable entity. I believe Kandi didn't care if LaTocha wanted to leave the group to go solo or to go bake brownies. She just wanted the XSCAPE entity to remain standing on its own by not focusing their third album on a member who'd already made plans to leave prior to recording it.
If strategy means sleeping with the producer then I guess that's what ppl wanted to call it...Kandi is talented but there were a lot of politics at play
@@msmichelle2196 Kandi didn't sleep with that man and it's been cleared up for years. Kandi should've been in control of the group because if she can write on a song that was Song of the Year then she had the ability to guide the group..they need her.
@@ebonylady Kandi and Jermaine did have a relationship, and Kandi has owned up to that fact. That's the only person in this situation she had a relationship with, however, and it had nothing to do with the groups demise! Hell, you can TELL it had nothing to do with it, cause she was sleeping with him AND HE STILL wanted to do a solo Tocha album! ALL of the group members have explicitly called out Tocha.
Tiny's interview with Vlad about how the group broke up is similar to Kandi's story. Tiny says BEFORE they recorded the third album, Tocha told the girls she wanted to go solo and didn't even want to record the third album with them. Tocha only recorded the album just to fulfil the contract obligations. As soon as their label found out Tocha was only going to record the album and then leave to go solo, the label didn't want to promote the album knowing that Tocha was not going to stay in the group. They were even supposed to shoot a video for Softest Place on Earth but Tocha was already gone and the group had broken up before that could happen.
You are correct..And to add. During the "Traces" cd teh tension was too much..I heard the video shoot for "The Softest Place On Earth" was cancelled due to both Tocha and Kandi not showing up for the video shoot.
When tocha was talking she kept looking over at her sister. And her sister was looking down and nodding like chileee don’t let me go in the red with Kandi again!!! Lol - The funny thing about it is that Tocha went solo and flopped and Kandi said oh well, tried it on her own and actually got a couple hits and iconic features out of it! Kandi may not be the best vocalist in the group but her tone and creativity helped her more than a lead vocal ever did tocha.
That’s the problem right there. Tocha looking at her sister to jump in and help her, knowing she fucking wrong. Toxic AF and your sister being that simple minded to even defend your wrongs is crazy and bogus to me. I’m glad she’s now not allowing the toxicity get in the way. Kandi spoke nothing but facts as always and most NARCS get mad wen u speak facts
I like all of your comments leviny- we watch a lot of the same stuff & every time I see your comment on here I click like- because your prospective be on point
Kandi always tell it like it is. And what’s wrong with feeling you’re all that? Step up to the plate and elevate yourself. Don’t get mad when someone else does it.
@@risingphoenix7371 They didn't care about that, but rather it was about how she did it. The late George Michael knew that he was leaving WHAM but he handled his duties with his partner, toured, and promoted the album. That's how you handle a situation and George had the look and talent to build a huge career whereas Tocha doesn't.
Actually Kandi does need them. Kandi is not aN industry heavyweight like y'all like to believe. A lot of people in the industry do not take her seriously. She's not supposed to be a reality show star forever. The best way to get the industry to notice her again is through Xscape.
Kandi does need them? Says who? The woman is worth more than all of them independently. Are you serious? Even if the woman decides to retire RIGHT NOW she's set for life.
Noir King you clearly didn’t fully read what I stated. She does need them. It has nothing to do with $$. And are you this stupid to believe that she’s set for life at this stage in her life. Where do y’all come up with this shit.
If LaTocha didn't discuss with everyone in the group about going solo, then yes, she is the problem and the reason the group broke up. As she later learned, it takes more than talent to be wildly successful. Most ppl know who Kandi and Tiny are but not so much the Scott sisters.🤷🏽♀️
Kandi may not be the strongest lead but...that background has that kandi sound and kandi has been the most successful in the industry.....latocha betta own up an take notes
People always talk about Kandi but at the end of the day, she brought something to the group. Kandi was the business mind behind the group and she's the RICHEST to this day
@SunniCalifornia Her success speaks for itself. She wasn’t the best singer in the group but was business savvy and got the furthest. Tiny wasn’t too far behind her either they both were able to obtain fortune by getting creative with their careers.
I just said that Tosha always wants to go solo after a come up on Xscape.. Boom 💥 She did it the first time and now she's doing it again. They're better as a group. It didn't work for her the first time...🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ They are better as a group!
Tocha doesn't want to be in the group. She's always going against the grain. In one of their recent performances, the other 3 ladies had on silver, Tocha wore a pea green dress, smh
For those of you who don’t agree with Kandi how would you feel if someone in your group was plotting to use what everyone worked hard for, for themselves to set up a solo deal??👀
Yeah, but to be fair. Kandi was dating JD. So, her position was set. I'm not sure she's the one that should have been so upset. Maybe the other women. But not Kandi perse.
So Tamika shaking her head tiny like damn Kandi spilling the tea, tocha sitting their lying her tail off like she doing in the swv and xscape show smdh
This is why the first album is my favorite, it's the only album where there isn't TOO much of ONE person singing. The 2nd and 3rd album was too much of Tocha and Kandi, not enough of Tiny and Tamika.
@@afrolatino89 The second album did have a lot of Kandi on it. I think like the first 6 songs Kandi sung lead and I was young but I use to listen to the third album a lot and I was convinced Tocha was the lead singer
LaTocha is CLEARLY the Effie White of the group she thought her voice was bigger than the group and that's why she failed ALL OF THEM play a significant role in what makes their legacy of Xscape if it's not all 4 of them it ain't Xscape NONE OF THEM HAS HAD A SERIOUSLY SUCCESSFUL SOLO CAREER IN MUSIC #endofstory Tocha thought she was finna be like Kelly Price but she ain't have the juice Kelly wrote her hits and Kandi did the same but for other artists which is why she ended up being most successful she has more Grammys than ALL OF THEM so Tocha needs to eat a slice of humble pie and be glad they're back in action and coin collecting with this tour because Kandi definitely doesn't NEED this she's only doing it for the fans the legacy and for the sake of being a business woman this was too lucrative of an opportunity to turn down 💯
But he right tho tasha thought she was a diva and she wasn’t, her attitude also played a major role in her not popping plus her husband whose has only managed her, but ultimately Kandi is successful because she rights a mean song if Kandi was such a great composer and producer she wouldn’t be rich, have a legacy or be on RHOA and therefor this reunion wouldn’t be happening
MSperry2U not true. Her attitude was not the problem. Sony and JD parted ways and she got lost in the shuffle. Also can we please stop labeling Kandi a producer when she didn’t produce shit. It’s disrespectful to She’kesphere.
amcra1 but she did she produced her song with Marvin sapp and she had a whole show where she wrote and produced songs for up and coming artists she also produced when she had the group with Rasheeda from love and hip hop
It's so sad but you can clearly see the animosity and hate the rest of the members have for Kandi. I truly feel like they're using Kandi's shine to get some air time. Smdh
First of all I absolutely LOVE XSCAPE!!!!! Kandi's vocal range is CRAZY!!! Tiny is like the Saviour of the group which I appreciate plus she be "HANDLIN DEM HIGH NOTES! LOL and Tamika's vocals BE ON POINT!!! SHE CAN BRING IT!!! Tocha's voice is BLESSED!!!
She was a successful song writer before RHOA and built a brand from the reality tv platform. The music industry has changed and xscape is benefiting from the platform bravo gave kandi.
Latocha is not being truthful and that’s the problem. Like Kandi said if you wanna go solo that’s fine but don’t use us to get you there and she was and she can’t admit that Secondly the tension that comes from Kandi and latocha is because latocha was always considered the voice however Kandi has always been the most popular one in the group
Kandi also knows the business and has a natural talent for business and knows how things should be done. She is the brains of the group while Latocha is the voice and that is where they clash.
I agree with everything you said except Kandi being the most popular member. Are you referring to now? If so yes but back in the 90’s Tocha was the favorable one.
LaTocha: You were envy cause I would sing a lot of songs Kandi: I'll tell you what my problem was (LaTocha arrogantly smiles) Kandi: You set up OUR third album for your solo deal (solo album) LaTocha's album was NEVER released 😂😂😂 Kandi's albums are amazing... You might have a great voice but her arrogance put her in the place she is these days
Why is LaTocha just sitting up there lying? If you left the group to do a solo project, then just say so. There's nothing wrong with tha; groups break up all the time. But the fact she is lying about it is annoying. Just own it and say, "Yeah, I left to work on my own projects, but now I think it's time we came back together for the fans." I mean, why lie? You just look bad...
divineaglaia because she knows it was wrong the way she went about it by using that third album to boost her solo career. The group also didn't get paid that 1,000,000,000 a piece all because of Latocha. She will never take responsibility for that
Tocha 😐 your contradicting yourself. Just be real. It was forever ago. You wanted to bounce because you thought you was Big shit popping. But karma had you baby because what goes around comes right back ‼️‼️
They had about 7 major hits, Just Kickin' It, Understanding, Feels So Good, Who Can I Run To, The Arms of The One Who Loves You, Do You Want To, & My Little Secret. Out of all 7 songs, Kandi sang on 4 and led 3 (Just Kickin It, Feels So Good, and My Little Secret). At the end of the day, Tocha had her chance to go solo, and it flopped. They tried to revive the group even adding a 4th member to replace Kandi and it flopped. Tocha appeared on the Song"Thug Holiday" with Trick Daddy, and on a season of R&B Divas. Tamika did Broadway plays, and played in Tyler Perry's stage play, Meet The Browns. Yes, they can sing but are the least successful. In fact, they need this more than anyone. Furthermore, Tocha is broke, and the least successful. Facts are facts. Kandi & Tiny even won a Grammy for writing No Scrubs. You can make excuses until you blue in the face but the fact still remains that they need Kandi more than she needs them. You can say all you want about her voice but in 20 years where has it gotten her? Answer: Broke and Bitter AF.
Secondly on the unsung Tiny and kandi gave true statements about how on the road with R Kelly she told the group that SHE was going solo and the others (kandi should go modeling and Tiny and her sister should have more chidlren) should do other things, She thought she was this and that and because she was the eldest and most experienced as a professional singer she would have a huge singing career. But it backfired on her and shes now back on the same platform she started with working with a stronger lead singer that she nor her sisters dont even like. Heres some good advice for Kandi and Tiny. Go on tour with these back stabbing sisters, make that money and after the tour ends in January be threw with those two for good!
relevant They already used Kandi. Tamika Scott asked for all there contact info / adresses so they (minus Kandi) could form a company under the trademark name Xscape. But Kandi was not aware of it, nor did she give them permission to do so. So they used her status for business purposes without her consent. And thats why Kandi was so pissed off with Tiny in the first show.
U TRIED TO LEAVE BUT U GOT LEFT GIRL 🤣 congratulations kandi damn knowing all this now I see how big n how great kandis accomplishments are... like she could’ve crawled under a rock with those rumours but she bossed up and now she the most successful out of all of em
And look what’s happening right now. Latocha I am looking at you sideways. When Tocha said, “Kandi, you always thought you were all that”, tells me that Tocha has felt someway about Kandi. She has always harbored ill-will and jealousy towards her. Kandi has always been the prettiest one in that group to me. Tocha has a powerhouse voice and has a beautiful face as well, but she isn’t being honest with us about what she is doing. There is no ownership on her end and dishonesty. Her sister even sees through her bullshit this time around.
Tocha projects a lot of her actions on to other people! Everything she accuses other people of doing is usually what she is doing. If you want to know what she's doing or going to do next, just wait and see what she accuses someone else of doing. She's actually rather predictable
I wonder why people can’t see that, she was actually jealous that khandi was singing lead on most songs…. On the new show she said khandi harbor resentment but it’s really her
I’m team Kandi on this one. And I love all the girls don’t get me wrong. But if you listen to the whole ‘Traces of My Lipstick’ , it does look like that album was set up for Tocha’s solo deal. Cause Tocha sung lead on the intro and outro of that album & you can hear Tamika shouting ‘Traces of My Lipstick’ & Tamika was barely singing lead on this album. Tocha sung lead on ‘The Softest Place on Earth’ , ‘Do You Know’ , ‘Your Eyes’ & a song that was included on the Japanese version of that album ‘The Best of My Love’ with the girls singing background. She shared lead vocals with Kandi, Tiny & Tamika on the rest of the songs. The only songs she didn’t sing lead on was ‘All I Need’ (Tiny & Tamika) & ‘Hold On’ (Tiny & Kandi) .
Of course she doesn't want to remember...this is REALity tv, ain't no coming back when it gets out! Both Kandi and Tiny (djvlad) said the same thing about their 3rd album.
Kandi is a Taurus and majority of us Tauruses especially myself DONT play with the lies, people stabbing us in the back, forever know not to trust a snake. I am Team Kandi!!
Right talk about it, one thing I hate is liars not gone say I'm finna call out one tho, over stupid ish, here is why, money I helped them out with they shorten me with, body oils and me dressing like them. Bro may I proceed yes indeed
@@christinewavvydoll1924 Never knew why people believe that bs. Zodiac signs are pseudoscience based on stars in the sky that have nothing to do with personalities and character traits lol. And people fall for that shit😂
Tocha actually told on herself. "I didn't use you. My voice used me" She would have kept denying it if wasn't true, but yeah you put yo foot in ya mouth right there, Tocha 😏😏😏
nah fam, we have to remember these women were young girls back then, and when it comes to groups, the record companies and producers always triangulate members against each other to keep power over the product they found and liked the way it was initially. This is how SWV, 702 etc came to a halting end, recording execs and producers who had no respect for the group dynamic as long as they were getting the "best" voice to sing all the time. Even Destiny's Child didn't survive this, hence the many group member changes. These people find you sounding good arranging music your own way, and they always want to save some money by identifying one voice they can go forward with instead of 3 to 5 employees. Happened to Toni B and her sisters too.They came in as a whole and LaFace decided 5 girls is too expensive, let's pick the one who's voice we like the most. Few groups survive this meddling of outsiders, for example, 112 and BIIM are some of those groups that survived this because they were male and had a lil' more privilege than the women/young girls in groups who just wanna sing and make it. This makes me so sad because ofcourse these male execs and producers played on these girl's hunger to win, their youth, their immaturity, their desperation etc., and the fact that they are women to tear them apart.
And Kandi too bitter to realize it. That's why Tamika and Tiny is just watching the circus. They are sooo over it. If Kandi doesn't want to work with the group then step. Kandi probably was mad because Jermaine came up with the solo project. And wasn't Kandi screwing Jermaine?
And it's the people that dislike LaTocha that won't hear you. Thank you for this as this is exactly how MANY groups have operated. I feel like the truth about it all is somewhere in the middle. The producers wanted Tocha to sing the most and got in her ear and maybe Kandi felt shaded by that, understandably.
First album LIVED, and Loved. All the girls could be heard. 2nd album felt like it was a competition between Kandi and Tosh. So I really don’t blame Kandi for not wanting too be a “a Pip” on the third album. Cause next album would be Tosh featuring Xscape..
Whenever Kandi says “ no ma’am “ you know she’s about to spit some facts
Or “let’s be clear” She definitely about to drop some facts!

Latocha is so full of crap it was her ego that caused the group to break up and now I see why Kandi really didn't want to come back
Her ego but she didn't have the look that's why Kandi was singing most of the songs just Google the supremes
When you look at swv and xscape show tocha wasn't going to speak Kandi said hi twice for her to acknowledge her which is rude af, Tocha is her mother child and I swe why now
I love them all but Tocha is lying.... I'm remembering that Unsung moment where all three of the other girls spoke about how she bragged on them cause she was going solo.... And she even dissed her own sister saying that Tamika can probably go and make a bunch a kids now that she has more time on her hands.... She needs to own it.... Say sorry so the group can move on.... I don't like how she tries to be the boss... Cause no matter how pushy Kandi is, she has some good points when it comesto set list ideas and stuff and Tocha rubs me the wrong way when she took it upon herself soley to do the set list and all the other stuff.... Kandi is also a dominant like that and I think that if Latocha had a different personality, the group would run abit more smoothly cause it would be more of a democracy cause Latocha acts as if whatever she says should be the final say....
REECE RANALDO DE BUYS SHE did that? Damn tea is hot.
I know right1!! The set list should have been a group thing.. Who got Grammy for song Writing and you do not ask her!! come on now!!...She treating Kandi like she still a little girl that the problem!!
REECE RANALDO DE BUYS Exactly come on memory. I CAN'T STAND A BItcccc that cant stand and own her shit. TOCHA know damnnnn well her ass was the one thinking she was the shit. And the real gag is her sister is the better singer. Just because you sing louder, don't mean you're voice is better.
Truth, and a shout out to all of you commenters in this section!!! Preach it!!:))
YES!!! It's funny how she forgot that all the members said the same thing on that episode. Like man, just stop fronting and admit you're wrong!!!
I always felt like LaTocha thought she was gonna be this breakout star
Chiiile, and now we find out the label had her in the studio for the 3rd album while leaving Tiny & Tamika out of the loop. Tocha is so self unaware its stunning! 😂
Like, willfully though
"Me going solo isn't the reason the group broke up"......okay. In my Jay Z voice
that sentence doesn't even make sense. How are you solo if you're part of a group??? she needs to watch her self back on tv saying that foolishness to really understand how messed up it sounds.
I actually laughed out loud when she said that. Even her face after you could tell she didn't believe what just came out her mouth.
Kandi is a business woman (Taurus). That means she knows about strategy and risk assessment. She peeped the label's strategy from a mile and knew that, businesswise, she would be at risk and spoke up against it. What I take from Kandi's recollection is that the label was willing to invest more into Tocha's solo career than keeping XSCAPE a viable entity. I believe Kandi didn't care if LaTocha wanted to leave the group to go solo or to go bake brownies. She just wanted the XSCAPE entity to remain standing on its own by not focusing their third album on a member who'd already made plans to leave prior to recording it.
Solid analysis. Record labels in the 90s loved to play divide and conquer with the members. Xscape were another casualty unfortunately
If strategy means sleeping with the producer then I guess that's what ppl wanted to call it...Kandi is talented but there were a lot of politics at play
@@msmichelle2196 Kandi didn't sleep with that man and it's been cleared up for years. Kandi should've been in control of the group because if she can write on a song that was Song of the Year then she had the ability to guide the group..they need her.
@@ebonylady Kandi and Jermaine did have a relationship, and Kandi has owned up to that fact. That's the only person in this situation she had a relationship with, however, and it had nothing to do with the groups demise! Hell, you can TELL it had nothing to do with it, cause she was sleeping with him AND HE STILL wanted to do a solo Tocha album! ALL of the group members have explicitly called out Tocha.
Tiny's interview with Vlad about how the group broke up is similar to Kandi's story. Tiny says BEFORE they recorded the third album, Tocha told the girls she wanted to go solo and didn't even want to record the third album with them. Tocha only recorded the album just to fulfil the contract obligations. As soon as their label found out Tocha was only going to record the album and then leave to go solo, the label didn't want to promote the album knowing that Tocha was not going to stay in the group. They were even supposed to shoot a video for Softest Place on Earth but Tocha was already gone and the group had broken up before that could happen.
You are correct..And to add. During the "Traces" cd teh tension was too much..I heard the video shoot for "The Softest Place On Earth" was cancelled due to both Tocha and Kandi not showing up for the video shoot.
Wow
Dang and that was my joint too!
Bruhhhhh softest place on earth is one of their best songs! We deserved a video this is why tocha is my least favourite
They should still due the SPOE video just for the fans. I would love that!
If anyone has doubts, look closer. Talent alone ain’t enough for success.
As annoying as Kandi is, I believe her here
Blue Bullets agreed 👌😭
Exactly!
Kandi always keeps shit real!
Tasha don't want remember this things
Yep
When tocha was talking she kept looking over at her sister. And her sister was looking down and nodding like chileee don’t let me go in the red with Kandi again!!! Lol - The funny thing about it is that Tocha went solo and flopped and Kandi said oh well, tried it on her own and actually got a couple hits and iconic features out of it! Kandi may not be the best vocalist in the group but her tone and creativity helped her more than a lead vocal ever did tocha.
All facts 👏🏾
Facts! Preach
You better SPEAK ON IIIIIIIT!
All of this!
That’s the problem right there. Tocha looking at her sister to jump in and help her, knowing she fucking wrong. Toxic AF and your sister being that simple minded to even defend your wrongs is crazy and bogus to me. I’m glad she’s now not allowing the toxicity get in the way. Kandi spoke nothing but facts as always and most NARCS get mad wen u speak facts
After watching that new episode 🤔 with them and swv I'm starting to see right through Tasha she's the problem she got an evil side to her
Yep, the evil side is named Rocky. Latosha is a puppet.
& she loves saying woww like that’s gon change something hell lol
I love Kandi. Forever. 🖤
I'm on Kandi's side always! Love you Kandi!!!
leviny me too
Me
Me to
Me tooo
I like all of your comments leviny- we watch a lot of the same stuff & every time I see your comment on here I click like- because your prospective be on point
I just came back here to watch these old videos in light of these new events with Xscape lol
Kandi always tell it like it is. And what’s wrong with feeling you’re all that? Step up to the plate and elevate yourself. Don’t get mad when someone else does it.
Well then the others shouldn't have an issue with Latocha or the producers feeling like she's all that!!!!
@@risingphoenix7371 They didn't care about that, but rather it was about how she did it. The late George Michael knew that he was leaving WHAM but he handled his duties with his partner, toured, and promoted the album. That's how you handle a situation and George had the look and talent to build a huge career whereas Tocha doesn't.
@Ebony Lady No they did to care. Everybody is not going to kiss Kandi's butt.
Kandi told the truth!!!
Kandi and Tiny were always the my favorite of the group.
The Scott sister's been starving since xscape broke up. They tried it without kandi and it didn't work. Be humble kandi don't need yall.
Actually Kandi does need them. Kandi is not aN industry heavyweight like y'all like to believe. A lot of people in the industry do not take her seriously. She's not supposed to be a reality show star forever. The best way to get the industry to notice her again is through Xscape.
Kandi does need them? Says who? The woman is worth more than all of them independently. Are you serious? Even if the woman decides to retire RIGHT NOW she's set for life.
Noir King you clearly didn’t fully read what I stated. She does need them. It has nothing to do with $$. And are you this stupid to believe that she’s set for life at this stage in her life. Where do y’all come up with this shit.
Girl, this right here.
Her money is legit from private endeavors
Kandi is straight forward. I like that.
Kandi truly does not need them. Latocha just thank Kandi for coming back cause girl you know you gotta get yo credit score together.
RIGHT!! AND TOCHA SHIT DO SINK!!OK
Lmao
😂😂😂✌🏿
Kenya Ezeanuna Exactly
Kenya Ezeanuna haaaaaaaaaa 2 funny
Poor my sis tiny you could tell she always been caught in the middle 😩😩🤦🏾♀️😂😂😂
I am Rockin with Kandi
sebrina clark me too
Me too!!!!🙋🏾
Kandi is just jealous, and hateful that Tasha is the lead singer..always will be!
TeamKandi
Alllll mf Day... Yassssss
If LaTocha didn't discuss with everyone in the group about going solo, then yes, she is the problem and the reason the group broke up.
As she later learned, it takes more than talent to be wildly successful. Most ppl know who Kandi and Tiny are but not so much the Scott sisters.🤷🏽♀️
She’s mad bc kandi calls her out on her bullshit 🤣
Kandi may not be the strongest lead but...that background has that kandi sound and kandi has been the most successful in the industry.....latocha betta own up an take notes
Her backing voice is fire 🔥. All you can hear is her and I love her tone.
Always rocking with the real ....my girl Kandi!!!
People always talk about Kandi but at the end of the day, she brought something to the group. Kandi was the business mind behind the group and she's the RICHEST to this day
@SunniCalifornia Her success speaks for itself. She wasn’t the best singer in the group but was business savvy and got the furthest. Tiny wasn’t too far behind her either they both were able to obtain fortune by getting creative with their careers.
Latocha definitely thought she was better than the group and she needs to own that!!!
I just said that Tosha always wants to go solo after a come up on Xscape.. Boom 💥 She did it the first time and now she's doing it again. They're better as a group. It didn't work for her the first time...🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ They are better as a group!
Exactly. And she still hasn’t put out a solo project during the time the group hasn’t been together. Its her (in my Kandi vc) lbvs.
Tocha doesn't want to be in the group. She's always going against the grain. In one of their recent performances, the other 3 ladies had on silver, Tocha wore a pea green dress, smh
This scene is not just Bravo history, it’s hip hop and r and b history. Xscape discusses break up for the first time. Wow. Real reality tv here.
LaTocha Still Lying 🙄😪😒😒
For those of you who don’t agree with Kandi how would you feel if someone in your group was plotting to use what everyone worked hard for, for themselves to set up a solo deal??👀
Like Kelly, Michelle, Latavia, and LaToya lol
^^ THANKKK YOU TOCHA GOT BIG HEADED & thought cause she had rhe voice the group needed her well hunty the plot sholl twist…
@@jizzleonlineExactly! I actually don't care for LaTocha's voice. I like Kandi's better
Yeah, but to be fair. Kandi was dating JD. So, her position was set. I'm not sure she's the one that should have been so upset. Maybe the other women. But not Kandi perse.
@@l01j99 To me, LaTocha seems like she might be mad that Kandi and JD had something going on. I wonder if she liked him too?
You never win when you fight dirty Tocha. Look at how your solo deal bombed and Kandi and Tiny's career jumped off despite it.
Kandi telling the truth you can tell
So Tamika shaking her head tiny like damn Kandi spilling the tea, tocha sitting their lying her tail off like she doing in the swv and xscape show smdh
If Xscape has any plans to re-form for a final album, this was the video that was needed.
This is why the first album is my favorite, it's the only album where there isn't TOO much of ONE person singing. The 2nd and 3rd album was too much of Tocha and Kandi, not enough of Tiny and Tamika.
kayteeelle actually number two had tiny and the other one singing on it who can i run to and do you want to.
Deon Abrams 2/12 ain't bad I guess lol
kayteeelle especially if it's records people remember.
The 3rd album, while it was very good music, was very heavy on Tocha.
@@afrolatino89 The second album did have a lot of Kandi on it. I think like the first 6 songs Kandi sung lead and I was young but I use to listen to the third album a lot and I was convinced Tocha was the lead singer
LaTocha is CLEARLY the Effie White of the group she thought her voice was bigger than the group and that's why she failed ALL OF THEM play a significant role in what makes their legacy of Xscape if it's not all 4 of them it ain't Xscape NONE OF THEM HAS HAD A SERIOUSLY SUCCESSFUL SOLO CAREER IN MUSIC #endofstory Tocha thought she was finna be like Kelly Price but she ain't have the juice Kelly wrote her hits and Kandi did the same but for other artists which is why she ended up being most successful she has more Grammys than ALL OF THEM so Tocha needs to eat a slice of humble pie and be glad they're back in action and coin collecting with this tour because Kandi definitely doesn't NEED this she's only doing it for the fans the legacy and for the sake of being a business woman this was too lucrative of an opportunity to turn down 💯
King Curtis Raye none of this is accurate. There’s other reasons why Tosha solo career never took off.
But he right tho tasha thought she was a diva and she wasn’t, her attitude also played a major role in her not popping plus her husband whose has only managed her, but ultimately Kandi is successful because she rights a mean song if Kandi was such a great composer and producer she wouldn’t be rich, have a legacy or be on RHOA and therefor this reunion wouldn’t be happening
MSperry2U not true. Her attitude was not the problem. Sony and JD parted ways and she got lost in the shuffle. Also can we please stop labeling Kandi a producer when she didn’t produce shit. It’s disrespectful to She’kesphere.
amcra1 but she did she produced her song with Marvin sapp and she had a whole show where she wrote and produced songs for up and coming artists she also produced when she had the group with Rasheeda from love and hip hop
wtf u mean her voice is bigger than the group come on!!!
It's so sad but you can clearly see the animosity and hate the rest of the members have for Kandi. I truly feel like they're using Kandi's shine to get some air time. Smdh
This was the beginning of the setup. She wanted Kandi back on board to reset up her solo career. And now look at where we at.
First of all I absolutely LOVE XSCAPE!!!!! Kandi's vocal range is CRAZY!!! Tiny is like the Saviour of the group which I appreciate plus she be "HANDLIN DEM HIGH NOTES! LOL and Tamika's vocals BE ON POINT!!! SHE CAN BRING IT!!! Tocha's voice is BLESSED!!!
Lie'Tocha never changed 😂 this video aged well to prove Kandi's point.
She was a successful song writer before RHOA and built a brand from the reality tv platform. The music industry has changed and xscape is benefiting from the platform bravo gave kandi.
Kandi story hasn’t changed.
LaTocha’s squint at 0:24 SENT me.
🤣🤣🤣 she realized Kandi knows more than she thought
😂
LaTocha needs to own up to what she did. I love all of the members.
Latocha is not being truthful and that’s the problem. Like Kandi said if you wanna go solo that’s fine but don’t use us to get you there and she was and she can’t admit that
Secondly the tension that comes from Kandi and latocha is because latocha was always considered the voice however Kandi has always been the most popular one in the group
Kandi also knows the business and has a natural talent for business and knows how things should be done. She is the brains of the group while Latocha is the voice and that is where they clash.
starseoul 22 Perfectly Said
You Just HIT THAT ON THE NOSE!!
I agree with everything you said except Kandi being the most popular member. Are you referring to now? If so yes but back in the 90’s Tocha was the favorable one.
@@downtown_ny458 now
LaTocha: You were envy cause I would sing a lot of songs
Kandi: I'll tell you what my problem was
(LaTocha arrogantly smiles)
Kandi: You set up OUR third album for your solo deal (solo album)
LaTocha's album was NEVER released 😂😂😂
Kandi's albums are amazing...
You might have a great voice but her arrogance put her in the place she is these days
Kandi is still mad. She will never fully trust the Scott sisters.
Jazzy One I wouldn't either the lies could've made Kandi not have any staying power in Hollywood.
Would You?..That knife stay in your Back forever!!!
Why is LaTocha just sitting up there lying? If you left the group to do a solo project, then just say so. There's nothing wrong with tha; groups break up all the time. But the fact she is lying about it is annoying. Just own it and say, "Yeah, I left to work on my own projects, but now I think it's time we came back together for the fans." I mean, why lie? You just look bad...
divineaglaia because she knows it was wrong the way she went about it by using that third album to boost her solo career. The group also didn't get paid that 1,000,000,000 a piece all because of Latocha. She will never take responsibility for that
Have you ever argued with a person and knew for a fact they were lying? IT BOILS YOUR BLOOD EXTRA hot!
“ The MFn Pips” 😂
Tocha 😐 your contradicting yourself. Just be real. It was forever ago. You wanted to bounce because you thought you was Big shit popping. But karma had you baby because what goes around comes right back ‼️‼️
She back at it again
This was her chance to come clean for healing sake and she failed miserably.
I need to go back and watch this - I cant believe they still arguing about the same shit
I love Ms Kandi. ❤️
Here we go in 2022 and LaTocha has pulled the same stunt again.
They had about 7 major hits, Just Kickin' It, Understanding, Feels So Good, Who Can I Run To, The Arms of The One Who Loves You, Do You Want To, & My Little Secret. Out of all 7 songs, Kandi sang on 4 and led 3 (Just Kickin It, Feels So Good, and My Little Secret). At the end of the day, Tocha had her chance to go solo, and it flopped. They tried to revive the group even adding a 4th member to replace Kandi and it flopped. Tocha appeared on the Song"Thug Holiday" with Trick Daddy, and on a season of R&B Divas. Tamika did Broadway plays, and played in Tyler Perry's stage play, Meet The Browns. Yes, they can sing but are the least successful. In fact, they need this more than anyone. Furthermore, Tocha is broke, and the least successful. Facts are facts. Kandi & Tiny even won a Grammy for writing No Scrubs. You can make excuses until you blue in the face but the fact still remains that they need Kandi more than she needs them. You can say all you want about her voice but in 20 years where has it gotten her? Answer: Broke and Bitter AF.
Dawynrico McCain
Kandi also co-wrote "Shape of You" which won Song of the Year.
@@ebonylady She was credited for the sample not for writing, Ed sampled "No Srubs" the chorus almost had similar flow.
Coming back to this after hearing Latocha did it again regarding her solo deal lol
Secondly on the unsung Tiny and kandi gave true statements about how on the road with R Kelly she told the group that SHE was going solo and the others (kandi should go modeling and Tiny and her sister should have more chidlren) should do other things, She thought she was this and that and because she was the eldest and most experienced as a professional singer she would have a huge singing career. But it backfired on her and shes now back on the same platform she started with working with a stronger lead singer that she nor her sisters dont even like. Heres some good advice for Kandi and Tiny. Go on tour with these back stabbing sisters, make that money and after the tour ends in January be threw with those two for good!
relevant They already used Kandi. Tamika Scott asked for all there contact info / adresses so they (minus Kandi) could form a company under the trademark name Xscape. But Kandi was not aware of it, nor did she give them permission to do so. So they used her status for business purposes without her consent. And thats why Kandi was so pissed off with Tiny in the first show.
U TRIED TO LEAVE BUT U GOT LEFT GIRL 🤣 congratulations kandi damn knowing all this now I see how big n how great kandis accomplishments are... like she could’ve crawled under a rock with those rumours but she bossed up and now she the most successful out of all of em
The “no ma’am” and her constantly call tocha “maam” is killing me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And look what’s happening right now. Latocha I am looking at you sideways. When Tocha said, “Kandi, you always thought you were all that”, tells me that Tocha has felt someway about Kandi. She has always harbored ill-will and jealousy towards her. Kandi has always been the prettiest one in that group to me. Tocha has a powerhouse voice and has a beautiful face as well, but she isn’t being honest with us about what she is doing. There is no ownership on her end and dishonesty. Her sister even sees through her bullshit this time around.
History sure does repeat itself 🫠
This usually happens when some one gets drunk on their talent in a group and forgets that it takes a team
Tocha projects a lot of her actions on to other people! Everything she accuses other people of doing is usually what she is doing. If you want to know what she's doing or going to do next, just wait and see what she accuses someone else of doing. She's actually rather predictable
I wonder why people can’t see that, she was actually jealous that khandi was singing lead on most songs…. On the new show she said khandi harbor resentment but it’s really her
Exactly just like she made jermaine and kandi such an issue like she wasn’t with rocky who was the groups manager
U see when Tocha said she didn’t use the group Tamekas face was like oblivious but she didn’t want to say nothing
I’m team Kandi on this one. And I love all the girls don’t get me wrong.
But if you listen to the whole ‘Traces of My Lipstick’ , it does look like that album was set up for Tocha’s solo deal. Cause Tocha sung lead on the intro and outro of that album & you can hear Tamika shouting ‘Traces of My Lipstick’ & Tamika was barely singing lead on this album. Tocha sung lead on ‘The Softest Place on Earth’ , ‘Do You Know’ , ‘Your Eyes’ & a song that was included on the Japanese version of that album ‘The Best of My Love’ with the girls singing background. She shared lead vocals with Kandi, Tiny & Tamika on the rest of the songs. The only songs she didn’t sing lead on was ‘All I Need’ (Tiny & Tamika) & ‘Hold On’ (Tiny & Kandi) .
Kandi was right...and im glad Tiny backed her up.
She may have had the voice but Kandy has the looks she is beautiful
LaTocha left us hanging. She said her going solo was not the reason that the group broke up. I was waiting for her to tell the reason lol
U need more people latorsha
Of course she doesn't want to remember...this is REALity tv, ain't no coming back when it gets out! Both Kandi and Tiny (djvlad) said the same thing about their 3rd album.
I always favored her sister's voice
Look how Tameka apologize for her lies and came back making that bag !!!
Kandi is a Taurus and majority of us Tauruses especially myself DONT play with the lies, people stabbing us in the back, forever know not to trust a snake. I am Team Kandi!!
Period
Right talk about it, one thing I hate is liars not gone say I'm finna call out one tho, over stupid ish, here is why, money I helped them out with they shorten me with, body oils and me dressing like them. Bro may I proceed yes indeed

@@christinewavvydoll1924 Never knew why people believe that bs. Zodiac signs are pseudoscience based on stars in the sky that have nothing to do with personalities and character traits lol. And people fall for that shit😂
It’s hilarious these videos are popping up.
I would humble myself get in good graces with Kandi and smile all the way to the bank.😊
So if her going solo wasn't the reason they broke up then what was? Honest question.
Look for the Unsung:Escape episode on TV On (from the last year or so?)
It had a lot to do with that and her sister Tameka running her mouth on the radio
+It's Just Shay The Tameka incident was in 2007, Xscape broke up in '98
Radiance230 I'm Trying To Find Out The Same Thing
That and what the Scott sister said
Tocha actually told on herself. "I didn't use you. My voice used me" She would have kept denying it if wasn't true, but yeah you put yo foot in ya mouth right there, Tocha 😏😏😏
She even told her own sister to keep making babies while she goes solo. Lol. Grimy as ever.
And Tamika went and did exactly that
Kandi give us a tour and peace it out on those Scott sisters! You and Tiny are more than Good. Tocha lost weight and lost her rabbit mind!
nah fam, we have to remember these women were young girls back then, and when it comes to groups, the record companies and producers always triangulate members against each other to keep power over the product they found and liked the way it was initially. This is how SWV, 702 etc came to a halting end, recording execs and producers who had no respect for the group dynamic as long as they were getting the "best" voice to sing all the time. Even Destiny's Child didn't survive this, hence the many group member changes. These people find you sounding good arranging music your own way, and they always want to save some money by identifying one voice they can go forward with instead of 3 to 5 employees. Happened to Toni B and her sisters too.They came in as a whole and LaFace decided 5 girls is too expensive, let's pick the one who's voice we like the most. Few groups survive this meddling of outsiders, for example, 112 and BIIM are some of those groups that survived this because they were male and had a lil' more privilege than the women/young girls in groups who just wanna sing and make it. This makes me so sad because ofcourse these male execs and producers played on these girl's hunger to win, their youth, their immaturity, their desperation etc., and the fact that they are women to tear them apart.
And Kandi too bitter to realize it. That's why Tamika and Tiny is just watching the circus. They are sooo over it. If Kandi doesn't want to work with the group then step. Kandi probably was mad because Jermaine came up with the solo project. And wasn't Kandi screwing Jermaine?
And it's the people that dislike LaTocha that won't hear you. Thank you for this as this is exactly how MANY groups have operated. I feel like the truth about it all is somewhere in the middle. The producers wanted Tocha to sing the most and got in her ear and maybe Kandi felt shaded by that, understandably.
Fame comes with a high degree of life
Robert Jackson Bottom line!!
First album LIVED, and Loved. All the girls could be heard. 2nd album felt like it was a competition between Kandi and Tosh. So I really don’t blame Kandi for not wanting too be a “a Pip” on the third album. Cause next album would be Tosh featuring Xscape..
Yeah Kandi said on certain songs on the 3rd album it’s just Tocha singing the leads & Kandi doing backgrounds by herself
I knew I seen this show before!!!
