Xscape On The Morning Hustle
The legendary R&B group Xscape stopped by The Morning Hustle to promote their highly anticipated tour, which includes upcoming stops in California and a special show in Stockbridge, Georgia this weekend. As expected, the conversation quickly turned from tour dates to the group’s iconic journey and the personal evolutions they’ve experienced over the years.
Despite their decades-long career and undeniable impact on R&B, Xscape’s members—Tiny Harris, Kandi Burruss, Tamika Scott, and LaTocha Scott—made it clear they’re far from done chasing their dreams. From Tiny’s headline-making lawsuit against a toy company to Kandi’s major Broadway success in Othello, the group emphasized that success doesn’t mean the hustle stops.
Their catalog of hits has stood the test of time, not just with fans but with a new generation of artists who are now sampling their classic work. Kandi revealed she’s even working with a new girl group that’s drawing inspiration directly from Xscape’s legacy.
The ladies got candid about what it’s like performing after all these years. They admitted that stage fright still creeps in from time to time, even for seasoned pros. Tamika’s wild and creative ideas were also a topic of laughter, as the group admitted that not everything makes it past the budget committee—no matter how imaginative.
They didn’t shy away from controversy either. The group addressed the comments from Jermaine Dupri, who once said he struggled to sign them because people didn’t view them as traditionally attractive. They also shared heartfelt memories about their last interaction with The Notorious B.I.G. on the night he was tragically killed.
Tiny opened up about entering a new chapter in her life: becoming a grandmother. She spoke with warmth and pride about watching her children become parents and embracing the joys that come with this new role.
Legal battles over the use of the name “Xscape” were also discussed, highlighting the ongoing challenges that come with protecting a brand built over decades. Meanwhile, Kandi spoke on her transition into entrepreneurship, her departure from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and the current state of the franchise. She left the door open on whether she might return, hinting at possibilities but staying noncommittal.
Xscape’s stop at The Morning Hustle reminded fans why the group has remained a force in music and culture. With a mix of humor, vulnerability, and relentless ambition, the women of Xscape continue to redefine what it means to be legends still writing their story.
