This isn’t the only death Kandi Burruss is mourning this weekend, the singer’s Uncle Ralph Leslie also died and his funeral was held on today (October 3, 2009).

Currently Kandi Burruss is taking care of two of A.J. Jewell’s six children which happen to be a set of twin girls.

In the past, Kandi Burruss and A.J. Jewell’s relationship was being judged on by onlookers which was even highlighted on one episode of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” where Kandi Burruss’ mother also spoke of her concern on their relationship although Burruss Aunt’s went on to say they would support her decisions.

After tension sparked over their relationship, the two called off their wedding and stated they would remain friends.
