Kandi Burruss’ baby daddy (Riley’s father) Russell “Block” Spencer is speaking out after Kandi called him the poster boy of deadbeat dads. Find out what he said and peep a cute video of DMX dancing with his daughter on her 15th birthday inside…
On last night’s episode of “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” viewers got a glimpse at what Kandi Burruss’ relationship with her daughter Riley’s father Russell “Block” Spencer is like. And it isn’t a good one.
The former Xscape member broke down into tears while talking about Block (who is a music producer) not being in Riley’s life. She called him the “poster boy for deadbeat dads.” She revealed he hadn’t been in Riley’s life like he should have and said he had gone years without checking up on her. Riley apparently built up a wall and doesn’t seem bothered with wanting to build a relationship with him.
“I’ve always tried to be open when he reached out, but I don’t respect him no more," Kandi shared.
In one scene, Block’s girlfriend Kris Kelli pops up at the Kandi Factory unexpectedly in an attempt to mend fences. Nothing was really resolved.
Now, Block is speaking out to clear his name.
He’s spilling tea that the show is scripted and that fans will get his side of the story as the season continues. He posted on Instagram:
Meanwhile, Kandi hit up her Instagram to apologize to Kris Kelli for her comment about her being deported back to her native land. She also blamed Block for getting in contact with production behind her back to get on the show. Peep her posts below:
Looks like things will get interesting in Kandi's new storyline.
Speaking of dads...
DMX may be a father to 15 kids, but he wants us all to know he shows up when it matters.
The NYC rapper shared a cute video of himself dancing with his daughter Sasha at what he said was her quinceñera, a party to celebrate the 15-year-old entering womanhood. Peep the sweet clip above.
