Kandi Burruss Suspects Former Xscape Member LaTocha Scott Stole Her Diary & Leaked Details About Her ‘Private’ Relationship w/ Jermaine Dupri

Kandi Burruss opened up about how her relationship with Jermaine Dupri was exposed, shedding light on a challenging chapter that contributed to Xscape’s eventual breakup in 1998.

In a candid segment from TV One’s Uncensored, the 48-year-old singer-songwriter revealed that her relationship with producer Jermaine Dupri began after Xscape’s second album, Off the Hook, during the filming of the music videos for Who Can I Run To and Do You Want To.

Kandi Burruss remarked,

“It was a double video, that’s when we first connected. It wasn’t like we were around people, being all flirty. We were like totally just cool friends. It wasn’t a public relationship; it was very much so private.”

Kandi Burruss also disclosed that she confided in group members Tameka “Tiny” Cottle Harris and Tamika Scott about her relationship with Jermaine Dupri, while LaTocha Scott remained unaware.

Kandi shared that her diary, which detailed her relationship with Dupri, was stolen while on tour, leading to the revelation:

“Somebody stole my diary on tour. Now, I can’t say that Tocha herself stole my diary, but somebody that was close to her definitely got a hold of it.”

The diary also contained secrets about a relationship that Tiny was involved in, and during an argument on the tour bus, LaTocha Scott allegedly brought up both relationships.

Kandi then began to suspect LaTocha Scott’s involvement in the theft of the journal:

“I’m livid, but I can’t prove who took the diary. I had an idea. I felt like I knew who took it, but I couldn’t prove it, so I couldn’t do anything about it. I was like, ‘how she know that?’ She knew it all of a sudden right after my diary is stolen. It ain’t a d*mn coincidence.”

In a 2019 interview, Jermaine Dupri reflected on the situation, believing his involvement inadvertently fueled internal rivalries within the group.

He denied favoring Kandi due to their romantic involvement but still aimed to highlight Kandi’s sound, which he likened to T-Boz from TLC.

In the present day, Xscape is currently on a 30-city tour without LaTocha Scott, co-headlining with SWV.
