Kandi Burruss has long cemented herself into the pantheon of great songwriters and now she may be headed to the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame to make it official.
The Grammy-award winning singer and songwriter took to her Instagram to the share the good news with her supporters amid a year fraught with accusations, rumors and character attacks. Tearfully, Burruss shared an emotional sentiment while making the announcement saying,
“It’s been so much crazy stuff being said about me over this past year that sometimes, it’s real heavy, and I keep moving,” Kandi shared. “What God got for you is still gon’ happen. It’s still meant for you.”
Her comments were flooded with support from celebrities and fans alike as she expressed her appreciation.
“I’m feeling SO GOOD,” she said. “Thanks for all the love yall! Seriously. All the positive vibes are making my heart smile! I can’t believe I’m a nominee for the SONGWRITER’S HALL OF FAME!!!!!! I’m screaming!!!”
Kandi has spent her entire career penning hits for herself and other artists including Destiny’s Child’s ‘Bills, Bills, Bills’ and NSYNC’s ‘It Makes Me Ill.’ She also has writing credits on TLC’s ‘No Scrubs,’ Pink’s ‘There You Go,’ and Usher’s Pop Ya Collar. And when it comes to her own group, XScape, she and Tiny have always put their pens to work.
She and her group members hit the stage for a So So Def time at Chris Brown and Usher’s R&B Tour night two in Atlanta, after an alleged rift between the two singers caused night one to be a disappointment for many concertgoers. And the crowd gave her her flowers once again for being one of the pioneers of hip hop and R&B.
Kandi’s year has been full of brushing off unfounded allegations from her former husband, Todd Tucker, amid their split about the intimate details of their marriage, much of which she’s written off as his attempt to spin their split into a check. So, she categorized this win as proof that she’s covered by the big man upstairs.
Congratulations, Kandi!!
