Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss has carved out quite the post-Xscape career thanks to her entrepreneurial endeavours.
However, last night’s episode brought music back to the forefront for the heavily pregnant talent.
She was shown shooting a video for former cast-mate Demetria McKinney‘s new single ‘Unnecessary Trouble.’
Directed by Derek Blanks, the clip sees Kandi – who has penned hits such as ‘No Scrubs’ and ‘Bug A Boo’ – in familiar territory, playing the truth-telling friend who spills on a no-good-man.
Borrowing a talk-show theme, the visual makes for an engaging watch.
Tune in below…
Given the context (RHOA), we were admittedly ready to greet this with a hint of trepidation. The actual end result, though, was surprisingly solid.
Colorful, catchy, and cute, this could be a minor viral hit if given the right push past the usual politics.

MESS
Cute
I like it! Kandi sounded lIstenable and she really is a great songwriter! I think she needs to continue writing for others because this was a good song not saying it will be number 1 but definitely could be a hit on the r&b charts reminds me of music from the 2000s like blu Cantrell or sunshine Anderson
Don Juan acted a damn fool last night. He and Todd are punks! Why didn’t Todd ask Apollo for the money when he was hanging out with him at the club? Dog.
Sounds a little dated.
I’m here for it
I ACTUALLY like it! It does give me 90’s era, but truth be told… THAT was the DOMINATION era of R&B. I think it will do well if promoted properly…
No ma’am, but Kandi’s pregnancy glow is serving her justice.
I’m on the fence, I like their voices but I think the beat is too 90s for me, it makes it sound like songs I’ve heard before not something fresh and new. Can we get a remix with a more modern beat?
That Demetria can slay a vocal. Interestingly dialled her back a bit on this track but loving the beat and vibe of track. Both looked great.

Wow, that was very good!
This was ah kee? but I’m happy Demetria isn’tn giving up on her dreams! And candy looks beautiful the song just sounds dated!
Yes Kandi for the Boots !
This sounds a little 90’s, but Kandi always knows how to put a catchy bop together. It’s not bad!
I like it!! Kandi is a very talented writer and singer love her work!!
I like it. Sounds like one of them throwback that my and girls bop to when them nikkas acting up
So that was Todd escorting Kandi off the stage at the end but that was NOT Roger Bobb with Demetria….
This is actually my jam still, I love this song especially when I’m jogging…❤️?❤️
Kandi is a copy cat Nene releasd a cute little song. Kandi tried to shade her song. All of Kandi’s music sounds the same!!
