Oh Kandi Poor Promotion, Bounced Checks Now The Play Is CANCELLED?



OH KANDI POOR PROMOTION, BOUNCED CHECKS now The PLAY IS CANCELLED?
Kandi Burruss is not having a great week, after announcing that she would take her play on tour “A Mother’s Love”, it appears that it hasn’t been selling out as Kandi thought it would.
The promoter was expecting the first three shows to sell out, but attendance was poor and I guess they didn’t have enough resources to keep going. Now the performers in the play who were expecting a salary through the end of the year are suddenly out of a job.
According to sources: A gamble was made by a promoter who used people’s lives as chips. Being given a contract that pretty much says you will be on the road from September – December and paid XYZ salary weekly was all the go ahead people needed to quit their day jobs, reject other offers, and basically rearrange their lives. Last night, when news broke that the tour was cancelled, there were many tears shed. People’s lives changed in a matter of seconds. Expecting to be paid this Monday, and in exchange being told that the tour is no more, coupled with the fact that you quit your job (your only source of income), emotions were running high. There were some people in the room who honestly had no other money than what was in their pocket, and was really depending on this Monday payout.

But signs of trouble began last week when she posted a message to her fans informing them that some of the shows had been postponed. She wrote, “Our shows this weekend in Albany Ny, Jackson Missippi & Birmingham, Alabama have been postponed. I'm sorry loves! I appreciate your support & I will come back as soon as I can. The next stop for #AMothersLoveTour will be Detroit, Michigan September 19-21st. Go to KandiOnline.com to see tour schedule & get tickets! Everyone in Detroit tag all your friends!"

Unfortunately, she won’t be back. And it has to do with a janky promoter she partnered with to help organize her tour. Before heading to Detroit today, she found out that her tour was no more. She wrote:
WOW!!! That’s messed up! Keep your head up Kandi!
