Kandi Burruss may have bowed out from a full-time stint in the Xscape reunion, but that doesn’t mean she’s done with music.

The ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ mogul, who is currently starring in ‘Chicago’ on Broadway, is seizing the moment to release a new song.

Christened ‘Fake People,’ the lyrics read like a confessional right from ‘RHOA.’ Indeed, she sings:

“I can’t f**k with fake people. They always want something for nothing, but they ain’t doing nothing for me.I can’t f**k with fake people, smile in my face (no doubt) while you’re plotting on me.”

Vincent Herbert maintains that Toni Braxton‘s mother Evelyn was lying when she claimed he had assaulted his wife (and their family member) Tamar Braxton.

Where he did it?

During a strange appearance on ‘The View’ in which the show’s hosts invited him to join them on stage during an interview they were supposed to be carrying out with Tamar.

Why strange?

Efforts to present their divorce as an amicable one after Tamar’s mother and sisters claimed they had proof that he was a violent husband.

Readers of That Grape Juice know what avid music lovers we are – especially of hits past.

So, as our retrospective features ‘From the Vault’ and ‘TGJ Replay’  allow us the chance to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday of one artist, our newest feature Chart Rewind – a variation of our current Retro Rewind assay – accedes salutes to an entire era of music history.

This week all we want to do is hear ‘All the Man That I Need’ – the second single from Whitney Houston‘s multiplatinum third album ‘I’m Your Baby Tonight’ [click here to read our ode to the full album].  Released in December 1990, ‘Man’ – a remake of the Linda Clifford hit released 8 years prior – succeeded the album’s title track (which peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100) by peaking similarly this week in 1991.

Becoming the 9th #1 single of her career, ‘Man’ held the top spot for two weeks before being unseated by fellow powerhouse diva Mariah Carey and her hit ‘Someday.’  That dethroning certainly didn’t stop the overall power of the tune, however.  It was later certified Gold and remains a fan favorite among the singer’s lengthy list of hits.

Look inside to relive the magic of ‘All the Man That I Need’ and see who joined Houston in the top 25 this week 27 years ago:
