Kim Zolciak and Kandi Burruss Discuss Their Beef

By: Taren Vaughan

Kim Zolciak and Kandi Burruss started off on a pretty good note when Kandi was first introduced to the Real Housewives of Atlanta cast. The two joined each other in the studio, Kandi helping Kim produce her hit song “Tardy For The Party,” a track that caused a rift between them. But now it appears the former friends are having more problems. Kandi took time out to also address the baby name that Kim chose for her son that she has with NFL player Kroy Biermann. According to Kandi, “Kash” was a name that she had considered for her own son if she were to have a second child and was surprised that Kim went with that name.

Kandi blogs:

“Oh! Let me address the Kash name thing. I’ve had a list of names in my phone for a few years for if I ever had another child. Kash was one of the names. When Todd and I got together, I showed it to him and we said that if we had a baby, Kash would be the name we would use. When we moved into this house we even had a room that we told everyone would be Kash’s room. Todd would even make jokes about tattooing Kash on him. It was the on-going joke and conversation amongst my friends. Well, you can imagine how shocked I was when I found out Kim named her son Kash. Oh well!”

Kim on the other hand, says she doesn’t know what Kandi is talking about because they never had a conversation about what she was naming her son and she would never “steal” a potential baby name from a friend.

Kim blogs:

Now let’s talk about tonight’s premiere.

Not long after Kroy and I got married, we found out I was pregnant with a baby boy! We knew we wanted another baby without a doubt, we just wanted to be married first, so the timing was absolutely perfect. Since then, I’ve given birth to a healthy baby boy, Kash Kade Biermann.

I know exactly what you’re thinking, “Didn’t Kandi mention that she was going to name her baby Cash?” Well, THAT WAS NEWS TO ME.

Kandi and I have never discussed baby names, and I definitely didn’t know she intended to use that name. It was almost a year ago that I was in a nail salon reading an article about Jessica Alba and her husband Cash Warren. I fell in love with his name and said to Kroy that’s what I would like to name our next baby if it happened to be a boy. I found out I was pregnant in December, was told the gender in March, and immediately decided his name was going to be Kash with a “K”. I would never steal a friend’s idea for a baby name, ever! Besides, my reasoning for naming my son Kash had absolutely nothing to do with money, that’s just outright tacky. You can even go back to March when we announced that we were pregnant in Life & Style magazine and stated, “I already have his named picked out and it starts with a K.”

Kandi is also at odds with Kim over some rather negative comments she made about Kandi’s new home. Months ago, it was rumored that it’s these comments that completely ruined the friendship.
