We have got to stop the violence people:

The fiance of Kandi Burruss, a cast member on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” was killed Friday evening at a northwest Atlanta strip club, according to WSB Atlanta. Burruss’ fiance, A.J. Jewell, died from a head injury sustained in a brawl at the Body Tap club, located at 1271 Marietta Blvd. Burruss’ publicist Lisa Nelson confirmed to WSB that the actress has been informed of the incident and said the family asked for privacy. Police said it’s unclear what prompted the fight. No arrests have been made.

Wow. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Kandi

  • 504dude

    why people just cant say r.i.p to the man he passed away who cares if she taken care of his children and what he left behind …what he left behind was people who love him dame stop being so negative on this shit

  • manster

    I don’t know how many times i have to say it but it is worth repeating. Black people in general have a tremendous amount of self-hate and a tremendous inferiority complex. These aren’t my observation but are those by many psychiatrists. When one look in the mirror and hate what they see, they tend to one to eliminate it. When people so callously can kill each other this is a manifestation of trying to eliminate what they see.

    What topic garners the most hit on this blog as well as others? Inter-racial relationships. Many of us feel validated if someone non-black find us attractive and the only way to be happy is to have someone non-black.

    All this talk about stop the violence is just that, talk. Until you love yourself and respect yourself, this will continue to go on.

  • manster

    sorry for the typos.

  • Bajan Babe

    This is just tragic. We need to pray for his family, especially the kids.

    Violence is NEVER the answer.

  • The Bear

    Kandi is a VERY sensitive and emotional lady so I know this is hard for her. May God strengthen her and AJ’s family.

    People don’t realize how easy it is to lose one’s life.

  • Roni

    My condolences to Kandi and AJ’s family. Losing a loved one is hard regardless of the situation.

  • Carmen

    RIP AJ….It was his business why wouldn’t he be there. I have never experienced such insensativity we are truely living in our last days. Right after hearing someone has died and we basically say “that’s what he get, give his kids back”. Are you serious?

  • Atl_Finest

    Kandi was already taking care of 2 of them, I guess you can add 4 more to that list.

  • Shae-Shae

    Is that the strip club that he owns? Either way, that is sad. About to say a prayer for Kandi, his family and those children that just lost a father. There is so much ignorance on this sight. Dag on shame

  • Kay

    May God rest his soul…
    & May his family be at peace..

    “When one look in the mirror and hate what they see, they tend to one to eliminate it. When people so callously can kill each other this is a manifestation of trying to eliminate what they see.”

    There’s certainly a vast disconnect among some of us — a total lack of regard for human life. It’s brutal and terrifying.

  • Caramel Cat

    R.I.P. AJ, I feel so bad for Kandi, I hate to bring up negativity but I wonder if her mother feels like she could have treated him just a little better during their relationship, some stuff is just so small and life is too short…smh…

  • MyBlackisBeautiful

    Wow, R.I.P….I really can’t stand to hear of crimes amongst black people…especially the one that are pointless. All I can do is wait to hear the story of what happened but my goodness!! This man has 6 children! I know Kandi adopted his twins, but I really hope she doesn’t adopt the rest of them.

    My thoughts & prayers go out to both his family and hers.

    WOW

  • HOOD DIVA

    Wow, such ignoranct ppl in this world. Some of the comments above were so disrespectful @ this time.

    I am so shocked, my condolences goes out to his family and children, Kandi and all that knew him. R.I.P

    So many signs that we as a ppl have truly got to start sticking together.

  • HOOD DIVA

    @Caramel Cat, that was a great point. and I agree as well.

  • bcan

    I am totally shocked! God Bless his family & Kandi. Life is such fragile thing….

  • Sydney™ (. . .the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die)

    @Caramel Cat

    “I feel so bad for Kandi, I hate to bring up negativity but I wonder if her mother feels like she could have treated him just a little better during their relationship, some stuff is just so small and life is too short…smh…”

    Good morning, I think Kandi’s mother said and did what she thought was best for her daughter and granddaughter, and I can’t fault her for that (plus, I admit, I did agree with every word she said). She just didn’t want her daughter to marry him. I’m sure no one who knew him expected this tragic end to his life.

  • lildaddie09

    I was so shocked when i heard this. its so sad….how random after everything he was goin thru with Kandi and the kids and the media. I know kandi is really goin thur it. I pray for her strength, his kids, and his family

  • thrillticket

    50 baby mommas, 50 kids, was tryin” to marry Kandi at one time. and he spends his nights in a strip club???!!! So many of our Black men have no sense of family or relationships nor do they have any type of direction in their lives. They learn their ways from their absent fathers before them. If he wasn’t in the wrong place, possibly he’d be here today.Take notes fellas. I live in L.A., Cali. and this type of sh*t happens on a daily./ Kandi’s mom felt it comin’. She sensed it.

  • sherry

    He was at the strip club because he OWNED it!!!

  • thrillticket

    So they say that he owns the strip club and thats why he was there? Makes it even worse for me. Thats demeaning to women. Millions of businesses to go into. But maybe thats all he knows.

  • I’m Just Me: KEEPING IT REAL SINCE 1983

    Didn’t y’all just interview him? GTFOH!!! Wow! You really cannot take one day of life for granted. Not one day. RIP. Prayers and condolences to his family especially his kids. Hold your head Kandi!!

  • charlotte

    This is the worst news to wake up to! Praying for Kandi and the Burris family

  • Cause I Said So…..That’s Why!

    I wish this nonsense would end already…………..

  • Caramel Cat

    @Sydney

    Good morning to you girl. I hear what you are saying but I still think that she could have been a little nicer to him in general. I understood her sentiment and agreed with it but we are all people with feelings and at the end of the day have fragile lives. Sure, she would have never expected this but her daughter was also hurt by her actions towards AJ and if nothing else she should likely feel bad that she couldn’t have been more positive with Kandi in regards to him.

  • Mia

    My very deepest sympathy to both families, his and to Kandi. She is such a sweet person.

  • Blk Indian

    Ok, so I stand self corrected…she is the LEGAL guardian to his twin 12-yr old daughters..so most likely she will continur to fulfill her obligations.
    So, they were not engaged any longer…DUH @ me, the headlines ex-fiance confirmed that.
    Her uncle just passed and she is attending the funeral today!

    Why are some of us so cruel to one another?? The head is the most sensitive area..Just like the boy in Chicago that was beat to death….WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN IF YOU HIT SOMEONE IN THE HEAD????????????????????????? The perpetrator is a wicked son of a ..

    @Caramel

    “Sure, she would have never expected this but her daughter was also hurt by her actions towards AJ and if nothing else she should likely feel bad that she couldn’t have been more positive with Kandi in regards to him.”

    I suspected that A.J. reminded Kandi’s mom of men she had known — I think she may have been speaking from personal experience, and that was a reason for her passion. She wanted better for her daughter. Yes, we all have feelings, but her daughter and granddaughter are her first priority — that’s only natural.

  • Caramel Cat

    @Sydney

    Very true indeed. And I truly understood how she felt but at the end of the day no matter how she felt, Kandi wanted to be with him. There are women in my family that are in the same predicament but their mothers at least try and act cordial and speak to people and have common courtesy and respect. They don’t have to kiss up to the men in their daughters lives if they don’t like them, but for the sake of not hurting their daughters (who are going to do what they want no matter how momma feels) they don’t behave rudely or go out of their way to make people uncomfortable. Her feelings were already out in the open, she didn’t have to put so much energy into acting foul towards him. *shrugs shoulders* He’s gone now for good so maybe she got her wish…

  • lady

    wow :( Kandi is my fav cast member too and I think that it is awful what happen to AJ and his family. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and Kandi and friends. So jacked up that people still find neg shitz to say but hey they aint let Mike rest yet so thats the cruel world we live in right?

  • pam

    this is so sad, that man was operating a business he wasn’t robbing and killin people, if she loved that man that was her business.

  • buttapecan

    RIP AJ. KANDI YOU’RE IN MY PRAYERS. EVERYONE KEEP NEGATIVE COMMENTS TO YOURSELVES.

  • Sydney™ (. . .the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die)

    @Caramel

    I only know what I saw on TV, and I don’t have insight into their personal lives, but perhaps she thought her directness and obvious distancing from A.J. was the only way to get through to her daughter. She drew the line, and there are mothers who go to that extent to point out the error of their children’s ways. In addition, I don’t know the details of the relationship Kandi had with the father of her daughter, but, from what she said on the show, it didn’t sound like the healthiest situation either. Perhaps her mother saw a pattern of behavior and wanted to stop it the best way she knew how — even if it wasn’t cordial and warm and fuzzy.

    I don’t think Kandi’s mother got her wish — From what I could see, she didn’t want her daughter to marry him. She certainly didn’t want him dead and his children fatherless. I think ire should be reserved for the criminal who committed this murder.

  • Nai

    Everybody keep on sayin y was he in a strip club, didnt he own a strip club? i dunno if body tap was the 1 he owned

  • Sydney™ (. . .the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die)

    I just read this on ajc.com:

    On her Twitter.com page, Kandi Burruss thanked friends for their condolences and asked for prayers for Ashley “A.J.” Jewell’s six children.

    She also asked to be left alone. “im just in one of those moods where i dont wanna talk, i dont wanna b held & told its gonna b ok. i just wanna cry myself 2 sleep, alone,” she wrote on a Twitter.com post.

    She also posted that she had to get some rest before her uncle’s funeral on Saturday.

    “White ppl are right. We aRE exactly what they say we are……”
    Please, White people fight too; Think of world war 1 and 2; who were fighting? white people, and when they fight, they killed millions of each other.

  • Sydney™ (. . .the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die)

    @Caramel

    I want to add that I’m sure Kandi’s mom feels horrible for her daughter right now. She’s in tremendous pain and is dealing with a lot at once.

    I have to go, but have a good day, girl.

  • Rihanna’s sharp n pointy witchy fingernails took the oath

    wtf, now Kandi is responsible for a few of his kids, soley. damn, I knew that dude was drama. may he rest in peace… this is why I don’t go to black clubs.

  • breezy00

    AJ was part owner of the strip club, or at least thats what I read. So for people saying why was he at a strip club in the first place, should just stop. Its called business. And even if he WAS there for pleasure, does the man deserve to die because of it? smdh. Some people just don’t know when to quit the negativity. Someone lost their life in a violent and traumatic way, and now his family has to deal with it. My prayers and condolences are sent out to his family, children, and Kandi. RIP.

    Thats a shame. I will pray for the family. God Bless.

    Yall are dumb. Do you all not realize that it was national tv. AJ even said himself Kandi’s mother REAL feelings toward him werent portrayed on screen. You gullible individuals. You can even begin to sit in someone else’s shoes and feel what they feel. You are desensitized. Its awful. RIP AJ. Only GOD can judge you now.

  • MeMe_Slim

    I want to say this is a sad story but……..
    I feel two ways about this. A life was lost. That is terible. For her to be “informed” of the situation is unthinkable. At the same time, why was he invovled in a brawl. She defended him saying she’d never seen him doing anything drug related or street but I’m sure she’d heard different things. If you are costantly hearing things and people are pulling proof, you should know. As a mother, she should have wanted better for her child. The girls’ family wasn’t happy with her being with him (including her daughter)but wanted to support her. I hate that her heart is broken but this was the life this guy was living. You can’t prepare yourself for something like this but I wonder if she’d thought about whether or not a day like this would come. I don’t know.

  • ChicagoLuv

    Sorry to hear that!!! He has six kids and now they will not have their father in their lives. That’s really sad. I don’t know what really happened to A.J. However, the fights over words, women, men, material things, whatever is not worth it! Walk or run away if you have to!!! You will not be seen as a coward for walking away. Or think of it this way, you’ll be a coward who’s alive. REALLY people we have got to stop this! There are A LOT of things that are NOT worth fighting for.

  • Joy

    HE OWNED THE DAMN CLUB HE HAD EVERY RIGHT TO BE THER FOOLS. Even if he didnt own that one, Going to a club, going out period to enjoy yourself should not be a ticket to die.

  • RazeKane

    After all this chit with jon and kate plus eight I wouldn’t be surprised if the same network bravo would approach kandi about a new reality show and call it Kandi plus six. She seems like the type that would adopt all of his kids, god bless her if she did.

  • @MeMe

    MeMe_Slim you sound like a sheltered dumb azz. Find out the facts first. No one knows what kind of life he lead. He was a CO Owner of the club and there is nothing wrong with being in a strip club. He may have been trying to break up a fight for all we know. I don’t believe that Kandi endagered her child..he adored her little girl and vice versa. MeMe get it together honey…you are judging someone that we don’t know much about…you ARE RETARDED
    You said”why was he involved in a brawl”…Perfect example is the Chicago boy beaten to death HE WAS WALKING TO THE BUS STOP…Come on, you sound stupid and ignorant

Did you kill him? Your words are very suspect. You might just be an insensitive azzhole but to me you sound suspicious. What if you were to die tomorrow (it could happen) and someone wrote that about you?

  • Mikado7777777

    That’s very sad for him with his children being left fatherless and Kandi without her man. Men: black, white, yellow, green: realize when you have a good woman and stop the mentality of “keeping one eye open” for the sake of not wanting to commit.

    excuse typos

  • RIP AJ

    First AJ was part owner of the Body Tap. He takes care of all of his kids. All this dead beat dad stuff was just rumors. None of his baby mamas complained about not getting child support. AJ got custody of the twins because their mother wasnt taking care of them. When they broke up Kandi kept custody because they been livin with her and the twins are close to her daughter. For those of you ignorant folk she is not taking custody of all 6 of his kids they do have mothers. AJ had money of his own and several other businesses. He kids will be well takin care of.

    Um this is special news because?……Not tryna be insensative but I am so tired of public figures getting this “OMG” “ICBI” Blah Blah Blah outcry. We should all take a stand whenever anyone is murdered sensely.

    She, his kids and all other affected will be ok. We all got one foot in the grave its just a matter time.

    I am so abhored by the special attention. Anybody care that my 18 year uncle was walking down the street and a robbery had occured. The robbers ran into the street shooting and my uncle hid under car. Some white folks pointed to the car and the polics stop pursuing the robbers and ordered my uncle to come out. When he did they riddled his body with bullets. They said they thought he had a gun which turned out to be his hat. And he had just arrived on the job a messenger. HE DIDNT EVEN KNOW ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ROBBERY!

    So forgive me if I sound bitter. I AM BITTER!!

  • RBMAC

    Rest In Peace my buratha. Kandi The world has your back.

    What up SxyQ

    How you been Momma?

  • Lovie

    SO WHAT HE WAS A STRIP CLUB.
    SO WHAT HE HAS SIX KIDS.
    SO WHAT HE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE BREADWINNER.
    SO WHAT?!

    NO ONE deserves to be killed–having their life taking away by another human being. God is the one who is supposed to call us back home. RIP. My prayers go out to their families.

    And shame on all of your relentless bloggers, looking down on someone who is no longer here and saying “If this, If that”. None of us are perfect human beings. Leave the judging to God! SMDH.

    YES WE DO CARE, SWEETIE. We care about all the senseless deaths that occur. It is fine to be upset. I am very sorry for your family. I am interested in all things like this. This is very sad. Prayers and condolences for you and your family.

    @IJM

    HEY!!!! (WAVING WILDLY LIKE SOMEONE IN A PARADE)

    SO THEY ONLY CHARGED HIM WITH MANSLAUGHTER?? HMMMM, THERE MUST BE MORE DETAILS TO THE STORY THEY ARE NOT RELEASING YET.

  • Bonafide Blu

    My deepest condolences . . . may God be with Kandi and both families (especially the children)for strength through this time of desperate need. God makes no mistakes, we need not to question His work.

    …..The mom might change her sentiments now that he is dead, too late you old fart…She will see how this is affecting Kandi, and how much he meant to her…..

    @ Blk Indian

    Why is her mom an old fart? Her mom was right about AJ not being the right man for her daughter. Just because somebody dies doesn’t mean you do a 180 and change your mind and instantly love them… Yes, its sad that he has passed, but Kandi’s mom was right.

  • http://www.bossip.com Beautiful

    @ Tiray, Speak for yourself! Maybe you are what white people think YOU are, but I definitely am NOT! I have class, education and I’m going somewhere in this world. If you don’t have any of those qualities, then yes, you are what they say you are, but speak for yourself, not the whole Black race. We are NOT all the same.

  • memchee

    so tragic.

    my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family at this time.

  • Ms.Aj

    It doesnt matter where you are nobody has the right to kill you and he was co-owner of the club. Im not saying he didnt have issues or problems everybody does no one is perfect. Rest in peace AJ my prayers are going out to your family and loved ones

  • yokobenz

    I’m actaully getting teary eyed………………..I now understand when ppl say “I’m hurting for you”…………..Kandi mourn and cry until you can’t cry anymore……This is life it’s hard.

  • Its6amHoGetOut Resident Genius

    You cant attack kandi’s mom for her feelings about this man, if I was her brother I woulda told kandi right in front of him “he has too much baggage” look elsewhere.

    Something tells me when the facts come out its gonna be about money owed to someone, head trama?

  • Uhhh…

    the world doesn’t give a fvck!!!

  • sxyQblondie STAY ON MY GROWN AND SEXY

    CANDIE SAYS HE OWNED SEVERAL BUSINESSES IN ATL SO HE MIGHT OF HAD MORE MONEY THAN PEOPLE THINK. HE OWNED A HOT-DOG STAND,SUNGLASS KIOSK AT THE MALL, AND A CAR WINDOW TINT BUSINESS. LMAO

  • sxyQblondie STAY ON MY GROWN AND SEXY

    BOTTOM LINE IS YOU HAVE SIX BLACK CHILDREN WHO HAVE TO GO THROUGH LIFE KNOWING THERE DADDY WAS KILLED AT A STRIP CLUB BECAUSE HE DECIDED TO BE THERE INSTEAD OF AT HOME WITH THEM. NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS!!! MKAY

  • sxyQblondie STAY ON MY GROWN AND SEXY

    @KEEPIN IT REAL

    PLEASE, GIVE ME A BREAK! SO YOU SUPPORTED HIM AND KANDI?? WHAT DID YOU DO, SEND THEM MONTHLY CHECKS TO SUPPORT THEIR FINANCIAL NEEDS. I SEE FROM THE JUMP YOU ARE A HOODRAT AND I DON’T SUPPORT THAT TYPE OF LIFESTYLE SO I FEEL THE NEED TO SPEAK ON IT. I KNOW THE BROTHER IS DEAD, BUT IF HE HAD STAYED HOME WITH THE KIDS INSTEAD OF BEING IN THE STRIP CLUB THINGS WOULD HAVE TURNED OUT DIFFERENTLY.

    @I’m Just Me

    Thanks for the update on the arrest. Just in case some people don’t click on your name, below is an excerpt from the article posted at ajc.com:

    Atlanta homicide detectives have arrested a suspect in the beating death of the former fiancé of the newest member of the reality television show The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

    Fredrick Richardson has been charged with voluntary manslaughter.

    Ashley “A.J.” Jewell, who was engaged to Kandi Burruss until last August, died of massive head injuries he suffered in a “one-on-one” fight in the parking lot of an Atlanta strip bar, the Body Tap Club in the 1200 block of Marietta Boulevard.

    Richardson was also hospitalized due to injuries sustained in the fight and is at Grady Memorial Hospital, but will be jailed once released by medical staff.

    Atlanta police spokesman Officer James Polite said detectives were still “trying to figure out [what happened]. We had a pretty good number of witnesses that are being cooperative.”

    But the cause of the fight was still not known Saturday.

  • Bud Jones

    Sad…

  • Candygirl

    This is just soooo sad. This just shows you never know when god is going to call you home. My heart and prayers go out to Khandi and A.J’s family.

  • Chocolate Bunny

    It was a reason that Kandi has full custody of his child/ children. I feel bad for the kids. R.I.P.

  • Laurie Farmer

    Life is already hard enough for coloured kids, now all the 6 kids have to go through life with no father.

    May his soul resi in peace and may the good Lord prote ct and guide those kids. Amen

  • Nat Turna

    why are some of you muthaphukaz sooo hung up on the fact that he was in a strip club?

  • sxyQblondie STAY ON MY GROWN AND SEXY

    IT IS SAD SOME OF YOU CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH. THE MAN WAS POPPING OUT KIDS ALL OVER THE PLACE SO CAN YOU EXPLAIN EXACTLY HOW BASTARD KIDS ARE BLESSINGS??

  • Nol!

    Thank God Khandi has custody of those twins.

  • sxyQblondie STAY ON MY GROWN AND SEXY

    WE NEED TO WAKE UP PEOPLE AND STOP SUPPORTING THIS MESS THE WHITE MEDIA FEEDS US!!

  • monique

    I’m feeling sorry for Kandi, the children. AJ was a mess though. I could say more, but it would be mean. But, I do hope that Kandi and her family heal and move forward.

  • sxyQblondie STAY ON MY GROWN AND SEXY

    WHY CANT WE SPEAK THE TRUTH ANYMORE WITHOUT BEING LABELED AS HATERS?

  • Riiiiiggghhhtt…

    The negative comments on here are sickening. ANOTHER black man is dead after a senseless act of violence. Pay attention.

    I can’t imagine how Kandi is feeling right now-losing a loved one this way (whether an ex or not) is truly devastating. RIP AJ and Kandi is certainly in my prayers.

  • R U SERIOUS?

    REGUARDLESS TO THE RUMORS. THIS WAS SOMEONES SON,GRANDSON,BROTHER, NEPHEW, COUSIN, AND FRIEND AND THE FATHER OF 6 KIDS. THAT WAS KILLED BY THE HANDS OF ANOTHER HUMAN. HAVE RESPECT FOR THE FAMILY WHO LOST A LOVEONE, WE ALL HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE. IF THIS WAS SOMEONE FROM YOUR FAMILY YOU’LL BE MAD AS HELL FROM THE INSENSITIVE AND HATEFUL COMMENTS. RIP…(AJ) AND KEEP KANDI AND HIS ENTIRE FAMILY IN PRAYER. THIS KIND OF PAIN HITS YOUR SOULLLLL.

  • Lyris

    Kandi,
    If you happen to stumble upon this message, please know that people are thinking of you and praying for you. No one deserves to have their life taken this way. People hurt others and never think about the extended family involved.
    This idiot may have physically taken a life but he mentally robbed you, the children, friends and family as well. Hearts break and the family is left to try and cope. Take your time and if you choose, go to counseling, speak with a pastor, do whatever it is that you need to do. In time, you will find a “new normal.” In the mean time, take care of yourself. If you don’t take care of yourself, there is no way that can you care for those beautiful children. Prayers to you and the family.

  • ms.quiqui

    first off i give my prayers out to the family. This is very shocking… i just saw him on tv supporting Kandi. I am distraught and i wish his family the best.

  • LOON

    my girl woke me u yesterday midnight to tell me this. may his soul rest in peace. we have to stop the violence and this is why i don’t have alot of male friends.

    I cant believe that! RIP……..

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals—Pimpin, Platinum style!!! J-Hud’s concert was OFF THE MEAT RACK!!!!!!!!!

    I chose to hold my comments until I heard more on this tragedy. Although the circumstances surrounding his death are sketchy, I still can’t help but to feel a sense of loss for the children.

  • http://afo.net Nanette

    My heart goes out to his children Mother and Father, family and friends. I still did not want Kandi to marry him, But damn, To kill him, He did have little kids behind that needed a Daddy, I hope the person pays. Then again, the message to this is stay away from strip clubs, Clubs period. Yall know we don’t know how to act. I would not be surprised if he were not killed for accidently stepping on someones toe. We gotta do better people.

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals—Pimpin, Platinum style!!! J-Hud’s concert was OFF THE MEAT RACK!!!!!!!!!

    Unless we were at the club, we don’t know what happened but I sincerely hope the developing story about him is not true!!!

  • http://bossip sundawg

    god b with kandi and a.js family!!!!

  • http://Yahoo tira28sweet

    WOW Kandi!!! Iam sorry that this has happen to you Kandi, Ijust found out. You are in my prayers and his kids. People this has to stop no one and him do not deserve this. Now, who suffer are Kandi, those children, and his family. STOP THE VIOLENCE!!!

  • yessir

    ANOTHER BLACK MAN DEAD OUTSIDE A STRIP CLUB. bad things happen to people who do the wrong thing

  • Maureen

    Think of those six children he left behind. My God, when will this madness end? Kandi, my prayers go out to you and those poor kids. May God give you strength.

  • IT’S NOT SHOCKING NOR A SURPRISE!!!!!!

    @ killmatic

    I agree w/ you as well real talk

  • mimi321

    how sad and unexpected..RIP

  • BLACKADIAMONDCENTER

    Damn maybe AJ should have been in the house with his kids not in the club… I never thought he was a good match for Khandi but I am sad about his passing.. I feel bad for Khandi because her love for him and her new Cd is coming out… RIP AJ and stay STRONG khandi!!

  • R U SERIOUS?

    @ MICHELLE YOU ARE IGNORANT!!!!

  • TAYMAR

    So what the man has 6 kids!! That is so irrelevant to whats going on and despite the fact that he was at a club does not mean that he deserved to die! Rip A.J. Hopefully justice will be served. Seriously folks the ignorant comments are not necessary because a man lost his life. I bet if it were your family member you would feel differently.

  • Jenna

    @ Michelle you are so pathetic!!!

  • Say What

    Jealousy indeed!!! Rest in peace AJ and I feel so sorry for his kids and Kandi. Can’t a man go somewhere and have fun without worrying about getting in trouble or losing their life?

  • Wenzel Dashington

    Now that Khandi’s single, I’d like to get at her. Too early?

  • Wenzel Dashington

    Like Barry Bonds.

    ATL guys might be out of jail, but they are corny, country and broke. Most are not thugs at all. A few playas are there, but most dudes in ATL pay $ they don’t have to get on with females. Don’t believe that hype.

  • MsBLACC

    GOD works in mysterious ways alot people was givin her flack for takin in his kids and looked wha happened now god bless him and his family

    May God bless his family and all those who loved him.

  • John Jay

    God had nothing to do with this man going to the strip club. sometimes a soldier falls on his own sword.. he was probably cheating anyway; i mean why would he go to a strip club? Could’nt Kandi strip for him? Im sure Kandi’s mother is elated!!!

  • Michelle

    @R U SERIOUS? and @ Jenna 6

    Kandi but it is what it is. Just like the Kennedy Family.

  • Gaviota
