Itโ€™s Time for Mama Joyce to Finally Give Todd Tucker the Apology He Deserves, Period

Kandi Burruss' fans watched her mother bury Tucker with insults for years. Now, it's time to make amends.

We all remember the wild drama among the women on Bravoโ€™s โ€œThe Real Housewives of Atlanta,โ€ but nothing could compare to the hilarious moments with Kandi Burrussโ€™ mother, Mama Joyce. Known for her unfiltered โ€œtell it like it isโ€ attitude, she has never been one to hold back her disdain for Burrussโ€™ partner and husband, Todd Tucker. The mother of the music star consistently questioned Tuckerโ€™s intention for years, openly accusing him of threatening her growth and success. Fast forward to today, Tucker supported his wife and contributed to her empireโ€™s expansion. With all these dotting accomplishments, it is time for Mama Joyce to give this man the apology he deserves.

Beyond the Xscape singerโ€™s success on the iconic โ€œRHOA,โ€ Kandi โ€œKeep A Bagโ€ Burruss has created an impressive resume within the music industry. Aside from her award-winning group, Xscape, Burruss has never faltered in writing excellent records. Her pen game has put her at the top of the charts โ€” and money in her bank account.

Through all of Mama Joyceโ€™s accusations, Tucker never seemed interested in accessing his wifeโ€™s fortune. In older episodes of โ€œRHOA,โ€ a former friend and cast member, Phaedra Parks, introduced her and Tucker, as he had previously worked as the production manager on the Atlanta reality show. Mama Joyce visited Parks in her office, airing her grievances while calling out how out of all people to court her daughter, Parks introduced her famous daughter to โ€œone of the workers.โ€

One X commenter shared, โ€œKandi never set her Mama Joyce straight from the beginning and this is why thereโ€™s a problem now.โ€ In a previous Shannon Sharpe interview, Burruss shared the challenges that she faced in the early stages of her relationship. โ€œMy Mom is old school. She would have preferred if I married someone who had more money than me,โ€ she explained. โ€œShe didnโ€™t see the value in my husband.โ€

In one clip, Mama Joyce accused Tucker of being โ€œthrifty,โ€ alluding to his reported reluctance to spend money on Burruss. In another clip, Mama Joyce clarifies that she โ€œlost respect for himโ€ as a man and as her daughterโ€™s husband.

Over the years, Tucker has proven himself to be more than her husband; he has become her business partner. He has played a significant role in expanding their empire, from joint ventures in the family restaurants such as Old Lady Gang and Blaze Steak & Seafood, to launching their production company Broadway Production, which served as the launching pad for the iconic Shakespeare Broadway play โ€œOthelloโ€ starring Denzel Washington. Tucker has proved himself to bring the power couple visionโ€™s to life.

From the continuous, shady insults to disrespecting his mother, the โ€œRHOAโ€ fans witnessed the grief Mama Joyce caused Tucker, and it is time for her to make serious amends. One X commenter said, โ€œTodd helped create a whole opportunity for Mama Joyce and her sisters and their family cooking with OLG. And Mama Joyce STILL be talking sh*tโ€ฆ thatโ€™s crazy af.โ€ Another X user shared: โ€œMama Joyce and Kandi are really so lucky Toddโ€™s daughter is far more respectful than I wouldโ€™ve been if she was talking s**t on my daddy for 10 years.โ€ One X user thinks that Mama Joyce wasnโ€™t malicious, but only to Tucker. โ€œMama Joyce was kinda mean, but saved all her animosity for Todd which was understandable and more entertaining than malicious. This thing w/the motherโ€™s reeks of maliciousness.โ€

Though we believe that Mama Joyce has been #teamtoomuch as she guards her daughterโ€™s heart and money, Burruss will always advocate for her mother.
