Things are heating up in the Bravo drama 'SWV & Xscape: The Queens of R&B' as the feud between the two Scott sisters reaches an epic climax. In the drama, which premiered on television March 5 with much fanfare, the family drama escalated when the younger Scott accused LaTocha, 49, of stealing $30,000.

Why are Tamika and La Tocha Scott feuding?
When confronted by Tamika, her mom Gloria says, "Tocha is crushed at you," which is denied by Tamika when she says, "No, she's not," Page Six reports. Gloria then criticizes Tamika for mentioning LaTocha's husband Rocky Bivens in connection with the conflict between the siblings.
Tamika clarifies in the sneak peek, "The only time I ever speak about him is when he inserts himself into my business.”
In a contentious dispute in the pilot episode, Tamika alleged that LaTocha and Bivens had planned to deposit checks worth tens of thousands of dollars into his bank account. The couple has since vigorously denied the allegation.
Gloria suggests in the footage that Tamika made up a story to help her "sleep at night," which agitates the singer. She retorts back, “If I can sleep at night? He’s in my business, he’s taking my money from me and my family,” and added, “But if I can sleep at night?” To which Gloria replies vehemently, “Ain’t nobody taking money from you.”
