Burruss, a Grammy-winning singer and songwriter, reflected on her journey with RHOA, describing her initial expectations of joining the show. “I thought it would be something cute to do for a little while, and little did I know, Bravo was gonna have me crying, laughing, arguing, singing, and reading checks that I did not expect,” she remarked.

Moreover, Kandi thanked her family for their role in her Bravo journey, joking that they provided “Bravo way more drama than they paid for.” She mentioned Andy Cohen, saying, “It means so much that our relationship is bigger than the show. I random text and check in mean a lot to me now more than ever.”

Holding back tears, she reflected on her time filming RHOA. “To every woman I ever filmed RHOA with, I see some of y’all here tonight, the good, the bad, the shade, the laughs, the tears, we made history together,” she concluded. Burruss confirmed she will forever cherish her time as a housewife, stating, “I’m embedded in your motherf***ing brain, bitch.”
