Riley Reveals Whether Kandi Is Still Supporting Her Financially
On Tuesday, July 15, Riley and Kandi appeared on ‘Watch What Happens Live,’ and Andy Cohen‘s guests came for the tea, asking if Riley’s now paying her own bills since graduating from NYU. But sis hit them with a plot twist, revealing Kandi’s still dropping coins her way. Why? Because Riley’s not done with school yet. She’s chasing a master’s degree.
“No, she didn’t cut [me off] because I’m still goin’ to get my master’s degree,” she said. When an audience member tried to get the deets on which school she would be attending, Riley played it off, saying she wasn’t sharing that just yet. But she did reveal that she’s taking the LSAT in August, hinting that her master’s might correlate with her Bachelor’s in music business. Kandi, being the ultimate mama bear, chimed in, “Y’all pray for my baby that she passes and gets good, high scores on the test!”

Kandi Almost Lost It When She Heard How Much Riley Spent On Don Julio
Chile, Kandi was not ready for the tea her daughter Riley spilled on a recent episode of ‘Next Gen NYC’! During a catch-up in NYC, Riley dished about a wild night out at The Box, where a table split went left, racking up an enormous $14,000 bill, thanks to some pricey Don Julio 1942 bottles. Kandi’s face said it all when she cut in, “I’m paying for 1942 bottles?!”
Riley tried to reason with her mom, insisting, “I paid for it, mom!” but Kandi wasn’t having it, firing back, “With what?!” The shade didn’t stop there, though. Kandi gave Riley THAT look as she added, “It better not be on the card I pay for. You got too much money to burn, honey.” Riley clarified her share was about $7,000. But she assured the Xscape band member she was going to split it with another castmate. Kandi’s side-eye spoke for itself. See the clip below…
