A biopic about the lives and times of R&B group Xscape is in the works.
Original group members Kandi Burruss-Tucker, Tameka ‘Tiny’ Cottle, and sisters LaTocha and Tamika Scott are working on the project with Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta producer Mona Scott-Young, according to a report on Deadline.com.
Pictured (L-R): Kandi Burrus, Latocha Scott, Mona Scott-Young, Tameka Cottle, Tamika Scott.
Tucker, Harris, and the Scotts will contribute music and also be featured in the biopic.
Xscape recently announced they are reuniting, now that Tameka is no longer under her estranged husband Tip “T.I.” Harris‘s iron thumb. The group plans to record a new album after a 10-year hiatus, but they are not going on tour together.
Xscape joined forces with Scott-Young after TV One announced plans to film a biopic against the wishes of Xscape.
“We are excited to join forces with Mona Scott-Young and Monami Entertainment to bring the real Xscape story to the world,” a statement from Xscape reads. “This partnership will allow us to tell our story about our lives the way we lived it. It’s our truth about the rise, the fall, and the return of Xscape. We feel the recent announcement of an unauthorized biopic on our lives is disrespectful and disappointing. We are not, in any way, participating in that project and it will never represent our true story.”

I didn’t think they were that “big” to have a biopic. Iono though. Kanye shrugs
Look at young, Tiny! I can’t even lie, I loved this group!
I thought the same thing, BUT…I’m sure there was plenty of drama behind the scenes to make a full-length movie. lol
They better squash that bs and get on that Kandi train. There aren’t many things I can think of that should ever stop the money train. Nothing.
I said this too, but if Aaliyah lil pass around industry tail can get a biopic….
I can give you their bio pic in less than 30 mins, umm whats there to tell, beside the Gerald Levert situation.. that’s all I want to hear was he good in BED….lol
*dead*- not the princess!!
I never slept with Gerald (neva heard this rumor either, spill tea hun) but um…Im gone go head and say Gerald Levert was GOOOODT in bed (im making this judgement solely based on looks and fat boy swag!)
well hope they add this to the bio pic…, cause I was in love with G
Funny. I couldn’t believe Kandi dated Gerald Levert, but it was true. She should post the song they recorded together (never released). “It’s You” is the title. I love that song. She posted it on myspace years ago. I asked her to post it again and she did. I was surprised.
ummm what about the 2 sisters sir
True!!
what?? I told you spill the tea. He dated 3/4 of them??
Lol i didnt know Aaliyah was a pass around.
Tiny used to be so pretty… too bad she didn’t see it ?
I won’t be watching
me tooo. I love his music and his voice
I just know about one of the sisters

Mona looks like a fat Free (106&Park) in that first pic. I like her hair. I think it’s the color that makes it pop.
I like Xscape but i dont want to see a movie about them. Unsung was enough lol.
En Vogue or SWV should have one before Xscape.
Kandi’s jacket signs on the first pic ????
Lmao dont judge me. I was a youngin’ during the Aaliyah era.
Is a biopic about this group really necessary?
Never knew abt that “other” girl.
Heck or Destiny’s Child. Lol
Definitely en vogue
I’m Here 4 It………..

what i dont understand is how a woman can let a man keep her from working. i mean if tiny had bread like that the whole time, we she aint been jump out the window. cuz thats the only language a controlling mofo gone understand.
Naw, but they want them coins. I’ll watch it when there’s nothing else on.
I briefly read that there was going to be a Debarge biopic. I damn sho aint gone watch that…have me all sad and shat ?.
chile… i really hope all of this goes well for them. i do. i dont like kandi at all, but her 2. im happy for tiny. i know shes been wanting to get back out there. but again, i really dont like kandi. that is all
you and me both.
running to spotify to see what i can find now….
LMAO Biggie was right they were some ugly females…damn!!
I blame TLC getting a biopic. Now everyone from ATL music think they getting one. Not to mention I don’t believe in a movie unless someone is dead. Only exception is New Edition movie. Ain’t nobody dead in Xscape. Tiny original eye balls. Dats it
Mona working on this is a big mistake. they need the BET writers that did the New Edition movie to work on this one.
What other girl, the one whose face is blurred?
They weren’t ugly to me. They looked like regular black folks before we got all into these hollywood standards.
Ikr, she just sat on her talent.
Im sorry look at the other groups Total, TLC!! These hoes look hideous
the audacity of his cock eyed ass calling folks ugly.
Makes a reminder to add this to my play list on iPad.

Lol…unless someone is dead!
I agree she gona make it into a Love and Hip Hop episode!!
Debarge family getting a biopic…now that will be a doozy
and then bobby brown has his. hes been in the new edition one and also whitneys. in each one, the story basically comes down to him being strung out. i mean, how many more ways does the story need to be told ?
Bullies are usually ugly so i guess that’s where your hurt stems from…
You sound like you’re representing Notorious Big.
In his song “Dreams,” there was one particular line that stood out, Biggie: “I’ll F*ck RuPaul… Before I F*ck Them Ugly A$$ X-Scape B*tches!!!”.
Are they really that important for a biopic? There’s documentary about Whitney Houston coming out, one on Bobbi Kristina! Enough already!
Mona???? This shyt is going to turn out like the Aaliyah movie https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/99f9a22dcc9d0a1f0cefccb4c4541de1b1da64b90b6d7dc8b04b73b046c9d925.jpg
EnVogue still battling long standing feuds. As of 2014, Maxine said she ain’t never working with them……so unless they gonna do one without her input- Never gonna get it (Biopic that is). LOL
Now Outcast Bio would be Epic, Love my Dre, and Big boi, we got some stories…Wheeeeewwww
The safari outfits are killing me!
Right ! Wasn’t Unsung enough?
yep. it was Ceelo who used to be a part of Outkast, yes??? I heard the first time they auditioned for LA Reid, he turned them down.
I just said the same thing before I saw your post, you were spot on!
He was 10x’s as ugly his damn self…
That’s a classic??
Girl…….I was screaming for Mary to ruuuuuunnnnn, when I saw she was hanging with Puff the other night. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b63ed78f72ec19594cb70bc68e1657e0be0bbfa05692027469425ec158fbf77f.jpg
Instead of the director calling out “Quiet on the set,” he’ll say “Cocaine on the set,” for any scene involving the siblings.
And see? One is indeed dead.
Not Mr. Heart throb never, Black and ugly as ever!!
I agree 1000%
LOL ?
Hurt people hurt people.
Good for them! I’m sad about the tour though; I was looking forward to seeing them in concert singing all the throwbacks. I guess TI put his foot down like he warned on the show SMH “Don’t Make Me!” lookin mf get’s on my nerves blocking her success. I’ll cop the album to support regardless
LOL that was the STYLE back then! We had cowgirl hats and everything!
And she was a young azz pass around…but she did say Age Ain’t Nuthin But A Number and Going down ain’t nuthin but a thang!!
I didn’t know that the tour was already canceled. Without a tour it’s hard to promote an album.
too much time wasted..smh
That’s what I heard. No wonder Kandi and Miki Howard have good things to say about him.
It will probably just be commentary with videos of them back in the day and how they live now instead of a movie…not quite a biopic
LMAO
I got to see him not long before he passed, he was great!
Awwwwww
It’s always funny to look back in the day and see what was considered stylish, it makes us cringe now! LOL
This
I think Tiny looks very cute in the tan jungle outfit before the transformation…
Tiny should have left her face alone. Botched surgery did her wrong
Lmao, never realized that!!!! I feel like we lived through it with Bobby. I mean i could be walking in the room and the tv was on and hear Bobby Brown’s name & that he did xyz and i wouldn’t even look up at the tv. I’d just shake my head and keep going because he was always doing something ?.
Off Topic, but kinda on, since it is about an old school artist……so Quincy redid Night and Day (I Can Tell) with his dad (NOT PUFFY)…not a fan of the revised lyrics, but he EH!
Issue with the video- bunch of females, in pj’s, some taking tops off, pillow feathers, etc…so all sexy stuff….why was his momma in the video? Okay, daddy and son with a group of females I would say okay….but your momma?
She did
Right…I’m looking like “Harpo who dis woman” lol
Gerald said in Sister 2 Sister mag way after they broke up that Kandi was a nut & wouldn’t leave him alone.
That’s who I thought it was at first…then I realized it was a current pic of them
So she was with Dame then Jay Z or vice versa? goodness!
Cee-lo was a part of the group Goodie Mob.
I need AL B. to let that song go. I understand the gesture from your son but keep it in the vault. …. Does Al have another hit song???
This would be interesting. I’d definitely tune in…
I don’t like the song either. He should’ve left it alone.
Naw hoe look at my google plus beautiful…so sorry to disappoint you. Just like i can say a hoe cute i will call her ugly!!!
Shhhhhhhhhh be quiet
Didn’t Angela Bassett do the Aaliyah movie?
True. But he was also suppose to be a member of OutKast. it didn’t workout, but they created Goodie Mob.
I actually like (and recently downloaded) Al’s first album- Killing me Softly
Off on your own
Naturally Mine
Ooh this love
If I’m not your lover
and of course his part in Secret Garden
LMAO exactly. TI side piece brought that memory up soooorrry!!!
Bwahahahaha
I enjoy biopics when the artist and all parties involved to get a sat in it. That way you get a true start, rise, fall, and come back of a group. But they could’ve just been on Unsung and been fine
Their Unsung was enough for me
Especially the hairstyles wheeeew chile!
Per the write up
Lion-O himself from Thunder Cats did it…..Wendy Williams chile
YES! All of the above!
LMAO
YASSS
All of them were affiliated with Organized Noize The Dungeon Family.. Never heard about him being close to a member of Outkast. They did do some collabs together though.
In Effect Mode was a “listen to all the way through” album…Private Times, EH
Who cares what u look like…your font is ugly that’s all I care to see
Memories…these girls really had something very magical, and they helped pioneer Atlanta’s takeover.
On a related note, Kandi is the weakest vocalist in the group but she’s the hardest working one–always has been. I’m sorta amazed she feels so comfortable as a soloist these days because its always been said she had the most forgettable vocals in the group. I always thought she sounded like a 10 year old girl trying to sound like Mahalia Jackson. Not a good sound.
I’m so happy for LaTocha. Lord knows she needs a check from anybody anywhere. She had really lost her way–and her mind. She was the “voice” of the group but segued to Divahood and that derailed her. I hope she’s matured now.
Lmaooooo
Lol
who the hell is Keisha Miles ??
Lol I know. And yea he suppose to be in the group. It wasn’t a well known fact, but Big Boi said it some years back.
Lol I know. And yea he suppose to be in the group. It wasn’t a well known fact, but Big Boi said it some years back.
Wow.
I guess if Miki Howard can have a biopic, so can xscape…
Wow.
I guess if Miki Howard can have a biopic, so can xscape…
Maybe it was Todd the Toddler who didn’t want Kandi to take Ace on the road?! Not TI!
I dont care how you feel about my font. And apparently per COY only ugly people and bullies can call someone ugly just saying that not the case; Its my opinion and they were UGLY. And with that i must take my beautiful ass to class!!!
I agree – Kandi is not a good vocalist but a great hustler. Although I will watch the biopic, my expectations are on the low end of the spectrum (i.e. the TLC movie).
I’ll pass just because Mona is attached.
Ahhhh, ok… I’m going to have to check that out. I never knew that .
Ahhhh, ok… I’m going to have to check that out. I never knew that .
LOL! Right.
Jay then Dame. I think. I know after her death, they talked to Dame on 106 as if he was her man at the present time. Again, don’t hold me to it. RIP.
There’s a lot that happened with Xscape that the general public doesn’t know about but I don’t see them going into that because it would potentially besmirch OTHER artists, producers and label folks. I do know, and can spill, that LaTocha wanting more money was a source of friction that hasn’t really been discussed.
And Kandi thought she was more important than she was and she kept insisting on having more leads.
And rumors aside, only the ladies themselves know what really caused a lot of the friction and backbiting amongst each other although there was so much talk about it all back then.
Spill more!
Chile that constipated note she hits during the RHOA intro drives me crazy
Even though Kandi isn’t as strong as a singer as LaT…she can write a mean check.
Congrats to all of them.
I didn’t even know Miki had a biopic. Unsung episode, yeah–but biopic? Are you SURE?
Miki is a phenomenal singer and a hilarious woman but she made the decision to become a crackhead and Gerald Levert’s sperm receptacle. Not exactly feature film worthy accomplishments.
She also claimed she’d screwed Michael Jackson and I can’t imagine why anybody–and that includes Whitney and Stephanie Mills–bragged about that.
pour the tea chile! Did Kandi really sleep with JD and his father?
im talking waaaay before heiress. she mentioned how Bey takes Blue on tour and he aint have no response for that sh!t lmaoo
That’s where her focus and work ethic came in. Kandi wasn’t afraid to spend extra hours in the studio or rehearsing and she dreamed big. That’s much of what it takes.
His sister is their nanny…he just hatin
Kandi wants to be a better singer but she has a very limited range. Kandi is a background singer but she’s never accepted that from a talent standpoint.
But she succeeded and that’s really all that matters now.
Of course, nobody will ever confuse her with being a magnificent singer.
Are they planning on sacrificing a former member just before they release this biopic? If their all still alive why a biopic, to stroke their egos, because their icons, honestly a Ella Fitzgerald biopic or Sarah Vaughn would be more deserving, huge talents who helped in their own way to shift perceptions of black women. Won’t waste my time watch some bull crap I lived through in the 90’s
They don’t make em like that no more
They say it all the time on the Gregg Street intro to his show..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFCKA1wRB9w
LOL…Kandi slept with a lot of people. Its no secret. But the way I see it, it was kind of inevitable: she was always in studios, on the scene, and she knew she wasn’t very attractive so the word NO was a foreign one to her.
And she was known to sleep with other women’s men, so I don’t know why she’s pretending like she has suddenly developed all these morals. I guess that’s a more recent development…
The real surprise is Kandi doesn’t have like 12 or 20 kids because she was known to bust it wide open.
And the paymaster rumor came about because Kandi has been used by men who ended up going back to other women after she helped them.
I can’t without implicating some very good hearted people but I’m gonna be watching this biopic and see how effective the whitewashing is lol
They should not let Mona touch their biopic..Tiny was cute back in the day
The movie was a mess and good at the same time
yes, I got to smell his azz, and pictures after his concert…chile, that man smell GOOOODT LORDT
i woulda been let my wife fly. she can brang us in more bread, so we can take more trips and she can splurge on my birthday
Yes bring it on Ladies, let us see
what you working with.
” Gerald Levert’s sperm receptacle” Ummm you want to fight
Inquiring Minds want to know!!
Yes, yes , yea,,,
I liked Xscape back in the day but probably won’t watch either biopic…
i can’t wait to see it. #Xscape
Fcukkk fashion from 2005 LOL I’m mad I participated in that ?
I’m excited about Xscape though!
Don’t put words in my font…I speak from experience as someone who was bullied. You are entitled to your opinion tho ?
Don’t watch it then LOL. Folks can have a biopic mkay. Even if it’s Vanilla Ice ? They got that right!
Thanks Coy thats all i was getting at its my opinion. Some people think Lupita ugly i think she beautiful; but i wont come at anyone in regards to their opinion. Much love everyone. Peace
Now that i think about it, I do remember. That’s what happens when these forgettable movies are produced.
I’m sorry but why does Xscaoe think that they have are legendary like New Edition?? I mean really.. every since New Edition biopic was aired Kandi said she wants their legacy to live on?? Chile Cheese.. Enough already .. Can yall first be an opening act for Bet Awards before you all make a tell it all..
Well its always hard to spill unless you know something for certain. Unless I know FOR CERTAIN, I try not to be messy.
And keeping up with who Kandi spread her legs for would have been a full time job and I had my hands full with other projects in the 90s and 2000s.
I think they should get some new music out and be around for a minute before they try a biopic
That’s teamwork… he likes to control his
His ode to Halle, “Natalie” is fire too!!
King looks just Tiny in that picture
summer of ’88…In Effect Mode, and Keith Sweat’s Make it Last Forever…they stayed in my tape deck!!
Hmmm ok. I might watch. I guess I don’t understand what would be interesting enough to create a biopic about regarding the group ?????
When her faulty husband asked her to sing a song at their opening for that restaurant and she busted out that olllllld ass song she wrote yearsssssssssssss ago on her first season of ROA (hated the song then and still hate it now) talking about haters! omg she sounded so horrible! so strained and like her vocals where just dry! i never liked her as a vocalist but she has wrote some hits and yes her drive to be successful and make money is amazing just like Michael Bivins from New Edition he wasn’t too good vocally but it helped lead him to big money ventures just like her!
Hush up! Go do something with your life instead of watching some has been!
Ha!!! Oh wow… teach me something today. I’ve never known this.. thanks!!!??
Mandi was the best looking of xscape
LOL! I was joking hunty. The weekend is around the corner, maybe then that stick might come out your @$$ ??
Nothing was wrong with Tiny’s face
I’m looking forward to this. I hope it’s the truth and not watered down.
Maybe kandi sleeping with Jermaine Dupre would be
You know where I got it from??Thanks for letting me borrow it??????
Sandra; Any post on this so called bombshell that President Obama never dated a black woman before Michelle that all his prior girlfriends were white. He told the white woman he actually loved and proposed to twice that he knew he would become president and it would be better for him to be with a black woman for his image. They made it seem like Michelle was a good look for him and crucial in helping him win the presidential election.
There goes the smear campaign to change the perception of Barack Obama by black people. The thing is, that apparently the author who wrote all of this in his book is very credible and accurate and has proof to back up everything he claims. This is crazy
Fun fact. Martin Lunther King Jr college sweet heart was a white woman. His father separated them and pointed him into Coretta’s direction.
He dated a white woman while at Morehouse? Otherwise, he would have had to have dated a white woman while at Crozer Seminary. Although, I wouldn’t identify his studies at Crozer “college”.
That’s what I read. He had a white GF and his father fored him to leave her and her met Coretta. The rest is history.
Who cares love is love it has no color!
Who cares what color someone loves! Love is Love!
Be careful what you read. Sounds like “real” fake news.
Just like the “Queen B”, they made their faces worser IMO.
As Salon reported, while he was at Crozer seminary, he “fell in love with a German cafeteria employee named Betty,” and his friends, knowing his father wouldn’t approve of his interracial relationship, tried to talk him into breaking it off. (This was the 1940s; the Supreme Court didn’t rule in favor of interracial marriage until 1967.)
I didn’t listen to it all, Justin’s hair style made me say nope and turned it off.
Beyonce doesn’t talk to the former members from the original and when they became the new line up no one cared about Kelly and Michelle they became background singers. The original lineup has a more interesting story
WAS never into them. And wow do they look creepy now.
NOPE! Everybody knows that the Kings did not approve of Corretta.
WHITE or “other” individual doing what the press reported about “alternative fact” groups dispersing out to black blogs to pass out Fake News. Beware readers. It is a well-known fact that the Kings did not like Coretta, but that Martin married her anyway.
They REFUSE to be irrelevant…gotta give them that..?
Have you seen the movie GET OUT !! Lol
? at constipated!
yes, later. I had to google to double check that I read/heard this before.
There was almost a third member of OutKast.
He sang, rapped and had a sampler to make beats with. You might know him as CeeLo Green.
LOL. We all got one nut or been that nut. Guilty.
I’ll pass thanks tho
Not enuf chile unless shat happened that we didn’t know bout
I hate Mona for love n hip hop ATL for real the others ones ain’t like that
Miki Howard was more interesting u see her unsung? And Chaka khan got her addicted too!
I hated the TLC biopic bc everything that was n the movie was told on behind the music on vh1. The only thing I didn’t know was how stupid chili was over Dallas
ALL of those
6 o’clock time for Greg street to Rock
Everybody looked high on unsung ?
don’t say that bout my Aaliyah!!! ??
I didn’t my dear i was just responding to the other poster. Lol
I loved them as a group then and now. Not sure why they decided to have Mona twisted behind back this but I may just watch it. Although I saw and heard most of the tea on unsung I’m definitely open to see and hear more. I think is the new wave now. I will never knock someone’s hustle, wishing them the best. Let’s see who will be next…mmmmm… My guess Bruce/Catilyn possibly. I really hope not but you never know. ????????
Fade to black please. This will be no New Edition bio…
Wow! I didn’t know Kandi wasn’t the original member? Learn something new everyday!
lol u good hope U doing well
She’s definitely a much better writer and producer than performer.
Of course Tiny was marketed as the prettiest because she was LSLW (LightSkinLongWeave).
But Tiny always had a small, mashed in, old lady face. She really does look a lot like Ms. Dianne, no shade.
I do agree…unfortunately she didnt realize that at the time. If only she had let nature take its course…
Thank u. No hate on Escape….But not enough substance for me to watch…This is all about coonery and social media. How bout a story @ music group that really made their mark! Love my peeps, and all of our sucesses. But if Tiny and Kandi werent already on reality T.V.. there would NOT be an Escape biopic!
I’s going to google that rite nowh…lawd some hot tea just spilled on meh…lol
for what, they had one hit, and they only blew up bc of Big’s verse of dreams of fuggin an RNB b!tch…
Thank you
Im so sick of hearing about this washed up group.. like no one is checking for them at all. ANd then they pick crazy ass mona to produce somthing for them, like really? *sucks theeth* yall go head and finish im done
Tiny turn straight forward, keep that butt out of view in pics.
Kandi was the original member. That Is her replacement
lol
Worser lol
I heard about that and was like soooooooo…..aaaaannnnddd!! He married Michelle- THE END!!
Keith was downloaded too…as well as Isley’s (Group and Ron solo), Frankie and them, I went waaaay back with it.
Thats’s a good ass song
And Biggie had the audacity…..he should NEVER have called anyone ugly that’s for damn sure.
Oh ok! Thanks.
Me neither..their unsung episode was enough.
there were a few songs that was doing it for me….I rocks with them!!
I love LaTocha’s voice
I see that Latocha & Tamika Scott are still ugly! They look hard and manly.
Tiny look like a baby mongoloid
ikr look a hot mess tooth pick legs smh
LOL!!
BE MESSY!
Just say, I cld be wrong.
I do not believe one word of that. Malia was already in her teens when he ran for President. Why would he wait years to run after he told a white woman that? No way do I believe that trash. People can we please let this man rest! Damn!
I just saw they are on tour in Europe and getting press in the US.
Don t know who is the new girl. They are 3
BET seems safer. Mona’s TV cred aint the best.
It is simply unbelievable nothing to be proud of.
DITTO
I am dear same to u!!
Why would any black woman want the producer of love and hip hop to touch any image of theirs…
God awful idea… have they seen her shows… Next!
All black women should run in the opposite direction of that evil image killing witch, her production company and any of her projects.
Kandi would do better having Todd do it than Mona.
Love and Hip Hop have ruin Mona’s credibility. She has been in the industry for years as a manager.
They had more than one hit. None of their albums flop. They just never had the mainstream success that other girl groups like TLC, En Vogue and SWV all had. Xscape was very underrated in the 90s. They mad great music but they never really receive any recognition for their work. Other than a Soul Train Award, I can’t think of any other award that they have won.
They could capitalized on the biopic if it’s a success and release new music and go on tour.
A Dinah Washington biopic with Fantasia is what I want to see
That sounds like a good idea
