“I had a lot of songs on this album that were inspired by relationships that I’d either been in, in the past, or the people who


I’m meeting now. I clearly wrote the songs from a perspective of real life situations.”


“We were going to split the royalties from the song three ways, the only thing we filed was the split sheet for our publishing royalties; we didn’t do a producer agree- ment. Instead of her paying us a producer fee, or any of those types of things, it was real cut and dry. “When she got the first check, she split it three ways, which was a $30,000-something check, and $10,000 or whatever was what she gave to me,” Burruss confessed. “Then she came back to me and she had talked to her lawyer, who said she shouldn’t have to pay them a third of the whole check—you should just pay them a portion of the publishing royalties. She wanted her money back. But the way she came at me that day, we were at an autograph signing, and she was like, ‘I was so upset, my attorney said I shouldn’t be paying you a third of every- thing.’ She was being all dramatic, and at the same time, it threw me off because I was thinking, ‘Do you think I took advantage of you?’ So I got kind of offended, and when she asked me for her money back, I just gave it to her. I don’t want to fall out over money, it’s all good.” Given that situation, inquiring minds wanted to know


if she would be game to help any of the other House- wives produce a song, aside from gay househusband Lawrence Washington, whom she worked with on his “Closet Freak” track. “Oh no, I’m not going to do it anymore,” she admitted.


“Period, I’m done. I did it; I showed it could be done.” Another thing that Burruss is showing can be done,


is to talk candidly about sex on her weekly Internet talk show Kandi Koated Nights. She is stumped, as to why sex seems to still be such a verboten subject matter. “I have no idea!” She exclaimed. “When they first showed Kandi Koated Nights on the show, I got a couple of people on the Bravo blogs that were like, ‘I cannot believe you! That is so un-classy of you and blah, blah, blah.’ Then I was seeing where the girls were saying [on Housewives after they appeared as guests on the talk show], ‘I mean, Kandi, I don’t know, sex is taboo.’ “I love the girls, don’t get me wrong, but some of them


have worked in strip clubs before! It just seemed like a contradiction. I’m just very open and I like to have fun; I say whatever I say, and some people can handle it and


some people can’t.” On the aforementioned KKN, which featured her cast-


mates, Burruss asked them what their “Freak Number” (how wild you get in the bedroom) was. But, we never got to find out hers…until now. “I would say an 8,” she answered with little hesitation.


“And the reason being is because I’m a very sexual per- son and very experimental. But there are certain things that I won’t do.” There seems to be little that she hasn’t done, on a pro-


fessional level, but there are other entertainment-based venues that she’d like to conquer, as well. “I definitely want to write a book,” she stated. “And I


definitely want to act, that’s something that I’ve always wanted to do. And, I love being behind-the-scenes, so I want to produce a couple of shows that I’m not necessar- ily on. So, that would be fun.”
