Says Kandi to Essence Mag, “”That is such bull! Do people get up every morning and just decide to make up stories and lies? I’m like, Did I gain weight to make people think that? I don’t understand it.”

“It’s just hilarious how people will believe everything they read,” she continued. “So for the record, I am not pregnant with A.J. Jewell’s child. I’m not pregnant with anybody’s child.”
