The women, who are going to be starring in a new reality show set for release next March, began experiencing conflict after they decided to go ahead with a small tour and had selected a promoter who ended up experiencing conflict with LaTocha’s husband.
LaTocha, who was set to join the tour, asked the group to drop the promoter but ultimately decided to pull out when the others agreed to continue using him.
The group also reportedly declined a request made by LaTocha to go by a different name as she would not be joining them. They previously went by Xscape 3 after Kandi stepped away to take a break.
