Atlanta got a serious dose of girl power this week when Kandi Burruss, Tiny Harris, Diamond, Toya Carter, Rasheeda, Nivea and Neffe all linked up right here in the city, and FreddyO was on the scene with the camera rolling. Seven ladies, seven different stories, and one room full of laughs, hugs and catching up — this is the kind of night that only Atlanta can put together.
If you have been keeping up, you know every one of these ladies is in the middle of a moment right now. Kandi is fresh off a buzzed-about first season on The Real Housewives of Atlanta and is getting her music back in motion, while Tiny is heading into a new season of BET’s Tiny and Toya with her girl Toya, Lil Wayne’s ex-wife and the mother of Reginae. Their show put a real spotlight on friendship, family and starting over, and fans are already waiting on the new episodes.
Then you have Diamond, the former Crime Mob princess who had the whole South screaming “Knuck If You Buck” and “Rock Yo Hips,” and Rasheeda, Georgia’s own peach, who has been holding it down for Atlanta’s female MCs for years. Add in R&B singer Nivea, the voice behind “Don’t Mess With My Man” and “Laundromat,” and Neffe, Keyshia Cole’s big sister, who everybody watched last year on Frankie and Neffe, and you have a room that tells a whole chapter of Atlanta music and reality TV history all by itself.
What we love most about a link-up like this is that there was no stage, no red carpet and no competition — just Atlanta women who have grown up in this industry together, showing love and talking about what is next. Press play on the video above, check out the ladies in the gallery, and tell us in the comments: if these seven ever sat down for one big roundtable, who would have the best story in the room?
