Xscape Reacts to JD, Name Battle, and Biggie’s Infamous Diss
The legendary R&B group Xscape recently stopped by The Morning Hustle to promote their highly anticipated tour, which includes a string of California dates and a special hometown show in Stockbridge, Georgia this weekend. But the conversation quickly evolved from upcoming performances to a heartfelt look at the group’s remarkable journey—and how they continue to evolve, both personally and professionally.
Despite a career spanning decades and a lasting imprint on the R&B genre, the women of Xscape—Tiny Harris, Kandi Burruss, Tamika Scott, and LaTocha Scott—made one thing clear: the hustle never stops. Whether it’s Tiny’s headline-grabbing lawsuit against a toy company or Kandi’s acclaimed turn on Broadway in Othello, each member is still chasing new milestones.
Their timeless catalog continues to resonate with fans and inspires a new generation of artists who are now sampling Xscape’s signature sound. Kandi shared that she’s currently mentoring a rising girl group that’s directly drawing from Xscape’s legacy—proof that their influence is still shaping the future of music.
On the topic of performing, the group got candid. Even as seasoned pros, stage fright occasionally makes a surprise appearance. Tamika’s larger-than-life creativity also sparked laughs, as the group teased her about ideas that sometimes exceed even their tour budget.
They didn’t shy away from tough topics either. The women directly addressed controversial comments from Jermaine Dupri, who once claimed he struggled to sign them because they didn’t fit the industry’s conventional beauty standards. The conversation turned reflective as they recalled their last emotional encounter with The Notorious B.I.G., just hours before his tragic death.
Tiny opened up about embracing a new chapter as a grandmother, sharing her joy and pride in watching her children become parents themselves. It was a rare moment of vulnerability that reminded listeners how much life has unfolded since their rise to fame.
The group also discussed legal battles over the rights to the “Xscape” name—underscoring the ongoing challenges of protecting a legacy built over decades. Meanwhile, Kandi reflected on her evolving role as an entrepreneur, her departure from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and the state of the franchise. While she remained noncommittal about a return, she didn’t rule it out either.
Xscape’s visit to The Morning Hustle was more than just a press stop—it was a reminder of why they’ve remained a cultural force. Blending humor, honesty, and an unwavering drive, the women of Xscape aren’t just legends—they’re still writing their story.
