'RHOA' star Kandi Burruss joins 'The Wiz' as producer, Marlo Hampton trolled for questioning her Broadway career
ATLANTA, GEORGIA: Kandi Burruss and her husband Todd Tucker of 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' are expanding their business with a new venture. According to Deadline, the pair has joined the production crew for the revival of 'The Wiz', in which the Tony-winning musical will be reintroduced to the Broadway stage with new material by Amber Ruffin. Kandi headed to Instagram to tell her followers the good news. 'RHOA' viewers saw it as an appropriate response to her co-stars, Sheree Whitfield and Marlo Hampton, who had previously questioned her Broadway career.
Marlo's dispute with Kandi continues in Season 15 after they feuded in Season 14 over a charity donation and what it takes to be a good friend. Not a month ago, Sheree and Marlo came together to call out Kandi for making a shocking comment in the new season's promo.
