Kandi Burruss just tore Tamar Braxton apart following their awkward encounter in July … bluntly stating she doesn’t like Tamar one bit.
Check it out — Kandi recounted their icy interaction at the Essence Fest’s Black Women in Music ceremony last month on her “Speak On It” podcast … saying she totally swerved Tamar’s attempt to shake her hand because she’s not about being fake.
The ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star lays it out crystal clear — she isn’t going to pretend to be cordial with someone who constantly talks smack about her.
She minces not a single word, noting … “I do not like that bitch … she is a fake-ass bitch to me.”
The TLC and Destiny’s Child songwriter goes on to share an example of Tamar’s alleged fakeness … recalling they were both at an Atlanta event just a week ago and accusing Tamar of walking by her and calling her the B-word completely unprompted.
But Kandi is not too worried … she says she knows exactly what Tamar is doing, alleging the latter only gets air time when she’s trashing someone’s name.
It’s no secret Tamar and Kandi have long-running beef … it dates back to when they were both coming up as R&B artists back in the day.
And it seems like the drama is as healthy as ever … and nowhere near the end.
