SWV & Xscape Clash Over Setlist as Drama Hits Boiling Point [Episode 5 Sneak Peek] 

Published: Tuesday 28th Mar 2023 by Sam

Xscape and SWV are renowned for delivering high notes. But on their new joint reality show, they’re bringing high tension too.

The Bravo series chronicles the iconic ensembles as they prepare for an epic joint show comprised of their biggest hits

Beyond celebrating the music that has been the soundtrack to so many lives, the core of the chaos thus far has been Xscape’s internal issues and bubbling beef with SWV over whether their concert will be jointly billed or headlined by the ‘Understanding’ belters.

On episode 5 (which airs this coming Sunday), folk will see Kandi Burruss and Coko‘s clash over the show’s setlist.

Watch a sneak peek after the jump…

‘SWV & Xscape: The Queens of R&B’ continues this Sunday at 8/7c  on Bravo.

    Xscape songs are hood classics. They had a big tour off of reunion clout. It’s not like they’ll forever sell out arenas. Swv can go anywhere in the world n perform weak. The name swv and their songs have more reach They can tour w Backstreet Boys n rock a crowd

      They are literally neck and neck stats wise. SWV has one #1 single and 3 top 10’s. Whereas Xscape has 0 #1’s and 5 top 10’s. SWV has 2 platinum albums whereas Xscape has 3. You refer to Xscape’s hits as “hood” when they reached top 10 on the pop charts… SWV might have the higher selling singles but as long as Kandi and Tiny exists Xscape will be more relevant.

      • Pat March 28, 2023

        Swvs songs are bigger. It’s like brandy and Monica. Monica has more hits but brandy had bigger hits and remained a more crossover name and appeal. Xscape has hood classics and will only be bigger w black audiences. Swv could bring in a wider demo. It’s why their name comes first in the title

        Lol xscape will never be more relevant than SWV, no matter how many chitlin circuit tours they do lol.

      • LERAY March 28, 2023

        HOW MANY SOLD OUT ARENA TOURS DOES SWV HAVE… I KNOW ONE THING SWV OPENED FOR A FEW DATES ON XSCAPES LMAO. IF COKO LEFT SWV TODAY THEY WOULD BE DONE. NOBODY EVEN KNOWS THE OTHER TWO MEMBERS NAMES. AND SWV IS DOING THE SAME “CHITLIN CIRCUIT” AS THE REST 90S RNB ARTISTS

    Lolol this is one of the best reality shows to come out in years! So much drama *chefs kiss* Sucks that it’s only a 6 episode series

  3. Diabetes UNBOTHERED March 28, 2023

    It’s like a 🦗 arguing with a 🐸. Both are ugly, both are lame, and both are UNWELCOME. 😆 🤣

    • KeyLoLo March 28, 2023

      Say what you want but there is nothing ugly about Tamika Scott 💁..Really she look the best out of both groups put together

      • Diabetes UNBOTHERED March 28, 2023

        😆 …

        {Here u go…} 👓

    Regardless of stats….SWV songs had more cross over appeal which is why they tour overseas. Xscape albums all went platinum….they didn’t sell platinum. rIAA certifications were based on shipments back then.

    • Gworl Bye March 28, 2023

      Wrong, xscape only has 1 platinum album. SWV have two.

      • LERAY March 28, 2023

        WRONG XSCAPE ONLY HAS 3 ALBUMS ALL WENT PLATINUM. SWV LAST FEW ALBHMS FLOPPED ONLY THE FIRST 2 WENT PLATINUM

      • Theman March 28, 2023

        SWV has two multi platinum albums. Or a multi platinum and platinum album. The third one could be eligible to be platinum.

  5. E Jai March 28, 2023

    Also SWV songs were generally more uptempo than Xscape. Uptempo she ngs have a better shelf life! I will always love you as an example no one jams that song on a regular anymore but you still hear I wanna dance with somebody in old school r n b.

  6. E Jai March 28, 2023

    And lastly….all you have to do is go look at monthly streams… Or total streams. SWV music kills Xscape in total streams and monthly streams. FACTS!

    • T March 28, 2023

      And who cares about that ….iThat can be the same people who comes over and over back it dont mean that more people listening to them

    • Glitter March 28, 2023

      Of course! SWV Has bops and coko is one of the most talented R&B vocalist of all time. But that doesn’t take away the fact that Xscape puts asses in seats. Promoters know that and they pay them a hefty fee because of it. SWV also reunited 13 years ago and have been performing consistently. Xscape just started acknowledging each other 5-6 years ago.

    If a B*tch like me had their 💰 I wouldn’t be on any show explaining a got damn thing. You hos would be a NON-Factor unless you sending me a check.

    • Glitter March 28, 2023

      Period 💯

      Kandi and Tiny did NOT lie!! Xscape gets asses in seats regardless of how people feel about it. People will pay to see Kandi and Tiny alone. Xscape’s booking fee is much higher because of this….and that’s no shade because I slightly prefer SWV’s music to theirs…

  8. Felicia March 28, 2023

    Want to see these two tour

  9. Clydes Y. Winfield March 29, 2023

    Leave my SWV group alone! Just that one song “Rain On Me” beats any song Escape made especially ” Understanding”! That’s the one song Escape really got going for them besides the fact that Tiny is married to the well known rapper T.I! Tiny’s mouth looks deformed like she use to drink a lot and Kandi wears too much make- up and looks like a cartoon character!
