Kandi from ATL Housewives: Breakup With Fiance
Baby Mama Drama: Kandi Burrus and Her Man Are Already Done…But She Is Stuck With His Kids??
Essence: Hold up. Did you just say you and AJ are no longer together?
BURRUSS: (Laughs.) We’re on hiatus. He’s a great guy and he’s not the type to sit on his behind like a scrub, so it has nothing to do with that. Yes, he has a lot of children, and yes, I didn’t know about them all at first but I got over it because as long as you handle your responsibility and spend time with your children it’s not an issue for me. Another thing I want to set the record straight on is that AJ was married before. A lot of people make comments like, if he didn’t marry his other children’s mothers then why do you think he’s going to marry you.
Essence: When we spoke before you expressed concern about how a separation might affect your daughter. How is she handling your break?
BURRUSS: Things have changed because not only do I have my daughter living with me but now I am the legal guardian of AJ’s 12-year-old twin daughters because his mother felt the responsibility was too much for her right now and she couldn’t handle it anymore. He would have taken them with him, but they needed a strong female role model
and wanted to stay with me.
Just because AJ and I are together I have accepted them as my children the same way that my stepfather did me when I was their age and he and my mom separated. He continued do things with me as my father throughout my life.
Kandi this sounds like some ghetto drama. We thought you were beyond this kind of stuff. With that being said…everyone did question the relationship at first anyways. This dude hits and runs…

chickenhead.
close, though.
listen to your mother when she tells you the person you're going to marry is a waste.
I can't believe she is going to take care of his kids, though. She's better than me, that for damn sure.
We know.
LMFAO Couldn't resist bb. ;D
j/k. mostly.
same
So, since she knows her life and I don't, I'm just gonna trust her on this one and not judge. She knows what's up.
