🌟 Kandi Burruss Celebrates a Legendary Moment at BravoCon! 🎉🏆
In a night full of sparkle, applause and pure joy, Kandi Burruss stepped onto the BravoCon 2025 stage and walked away with one of the most heartfelt honors of the weekend — the Wifetime Achievement Award!
The event unfolded on Friday, Nov. 14, during The Bravos in Las Vegas, where fans, stars and Bravo favorites gathered to celebrate the powerhouse performer who has spent years shaping television, music, theater and entertainment.
Kandi’s journey has been nothing short of iconic. From her unforgettable seasons on The Real Housewives of Atlanta to her hit projects like Kandi & the Gang, Xscape: Still Kickin’ It, Kandi Koated Nights and The Kandi Factory, she has never stopped creating, building and inspiring. Add to that her Grammy-winning songwriting career, acting credits, Broadway productions and her popular podcast The Burruss Banter — and the award seems more than fitting.
When she accepted the honor, Kandi’s joy was impossible to miss.
“I am filled with all kinds of tingly senses because I'm excited,” she said, glowing as she stood beside her daughter during the moment. She shared how special it felt to receive so much love from fans and her Bravo family, saying she was truly thankful to be honored in this way.
Later, she posted the clip with a beaming caption:
“I’m on cloud 9 right now! ❤️”
Andy Cohen first revealed the news back in July on Watch What Happens Live, surprising Kandi and her daughter with the announcement. Her reaction? Pure disbelief and gratitude.
“Wait a minute, y’all picking me? What?” she remembered thinking. But she quickly added, “I really do appreciate it. I feel like I put a lot of time in.”
And she certainly has — joining RHOA in 2009, staying for 14 consecutive seasons and becoming the longest-running star in the franchise’s history.
While she has no immediate plans to return to the show, Kandi isn’t slowing down. She’s heading back to Broadway this December to take on the role of Angélique in the hit musical & Juliet for a limited run at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre through March 8, 2026.
BravoCon 2025 celebrations continue through Sunday, Nov. 16 — and Kandi’s achievement is already one of the standout highlights.
