go inside and Fantasia makes the first move by sending one of kall's friends to let him know she wants to chat now I know we usually say the woman shouldn't always be the hunter but sometimes times making the first move can lead to something real yeah it often doesn't end well but let's keep it moving Fantasia and Kendall talk all night and swap numbers they don't touch Bas for a few days until Fantasia reaches out inviting Kendall to hit up a water park with her her kids and her crew girl is really putting in the
work huh I mean she's chasing that man like she's in a marathon let him be the one to pick up the phone and make that move and introducing him to her kids this early hold up hit pause for a sec I need y'all to understand Auntie Regina's point and my straight male besties I need y'all to keep it real in the comments now be honest y'all secretly love it when women chase after you don't you it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside but let's get real when you put yourself out there and pursue
a woman and she says yes doesn't that feeling of winning make it all worth it that's the natural Order of Things no matter what anyone says about women's rights or equality you chase after these men handle the bills buy the cars pick out the clothes cook clean and raise the kids and then 15 years later you're wondering where the passion went well news flash he doesn't want to be with his mama okay that's where you end up being his mama instead of his lover let me drop some knowledge on y'all let these men be men
they can't show you what they're working with if you're doing all the heavy lifting y'all out here talking about sprinkle sprinkle and getting all in your feminine energy but some of y'all got bigger coones than the men you're dealing with down the line he'll start resenting you for snatching away his chance to be the man in the relationship mark my words you'll be out here saying I did everything for him and that's exactly why he left to find someone who lets him be the man you don't have to drop an amen in the comments ladies
but if you feel me you know I'm speaking the truth all right back to the story so Fantasia invited Kendall to the water park and Kendall decided to roll with it had some more time to chat and Kendall got real with her about his past and his criminal history he even told her that her online piics didn't do her justice she's even more stunning in person by the end of their Meetup Kendall was cool with keeping that connection alive he added I just want to be honest and say that I'm focused on running my company
and not really in a place for a serious relationship ladies when a man says something you better believe him if you're looking for something serious but he's not making any moves take that as a sign Fantasia was all chill about it and told him they'd catch up soon then a few days later she invites him to her birthday party in DC notice the pattern here she's out here doing all the work pursuing and chasing him let me be real with y'all he wasn't that into her he wasn't her type this right here should be a
wakeup call for y'all Kendall admitted in their book that he wasn't keen on making that 6-hour drive to DC his friend had to talk him into it and even then he only went because he was persuaded he didn't even want to go to the party how come he couldn't just fly if he really wanted to be with her he'd have jumped in that car or flown out without a second thought trust if a man is you he'll move mountains to be with you the next day Fantasia's off to Cancun with her crew and she's on
FaceTime with kall the whole trip she even tried to get him to fly out and join her in Mexico but because he's on probation he couldn't leave the country well that's a whole situation she's out here doing the absolute most trying to get him on a plane like girl you just met him it's coming off as super desperate it's giving me a thirst quench like somebody get me a glass of water and what kind of business is kindall running that lets him stay on the phone all day but not show up remember he said he
was too busy with his business to date seriously that was just a convenient excuse to soften the blow he was trying to let her down easy but she didn't catch on on she told Bill Bor she knew he was the one when she was getting ready to hit the road he got down on his knees and said can I pray for you I just want to cover you down the road but here's the kicker they weren't even officially dating in their co-authored book Fantasia calls him her friend but while they were chilling and chatting about
the future Kendall just looked at her and said let's do it so in October 2014 Just 3 weeks after meeting they rushed to a courthouse tied the knot in swap matching wedding bands that night they got it on for the first time three weeks y'all I thought he was too busy with his business and not into relationships how do you go from I'm too busy to getting hitched honestly it seems like he spotted an opportunity and went for it Fantasia might have been moving fast but at least she got one thing right Kendall pushed her
to get a prenup even though Fantasia told The Breakfast Club she would have married Kendall without a prenup what a mess Kendall went and got a tattoo of her name on his chest and y'all know tattoos like that are usually a bad Omen for relationships when the pics of that tattoo hit the internet it was the first time anyone even knew she was seeing someone and of course the social media went to work someone immediately sent Kendall's entire criminal record to blogger love be Scott turns out kall's WAP sheet was something else altercations with women
drug and weapon possession and a failure to pay child support he'd even been convicted of firearm possession by a felon back in 2003 though love be Scott noted Kendall seemed to have cleaned up his act a couple of years before meeting Fantasia he still had a rough past behind the scenes things weren't as rosy as they seemed Fantasia and kindall both with strong Alpha personalities clashed over their business ventures and money just 6 months after their Whirlwind marriage Fantasia dropped the bomb that she was leaving her record label her grandmother had passed and she and
kindall had split but surprise surprise they were back together 2 months later all smiles meanwhile whispers about their breakup being due to cheating were buzzing around Fantasia took to her Instagram to write no one lied no one cheated no one broke a single vow what we learned was to keep those who aren't for us out of our marriage as our love grows stronger our Circle grows smaller so after all that drama they decid decided to throw another wedding bash in July 2015 this time with all their family and friends and toe then just to keep
the love alive or maybe for a fresh start they renewed their vows on Christmas Day 2016 but get this by September 2019 Fantasia was out here acting like she was the queen of relationship advice y'all are messy for this after all those fiery arguments early in their marriage she figured it was high time to let go of the rains and give kindall some space to be the man during an appearance on The Breakfast Club she said most women are trying to be the leader that's why you can't find a man you can't be the king
in the house fall back and be the queen and let your man lead the way oh now it's too late sis you ain't never gave that man a chance to step up and be a leader back when y'all were talking or whatever you called it you didn't let him chase you didn't let him be the one to hit you up first didn't let him plan no dates or handle dinner you didn't give that man the space to show he could actually lead and now you want to hand over control in a marriage to someone who
ain't never proven he's got what it takes oh okay I see what's going on nah that doesn't add up red flags all over the place where's a ding ding ding buttet somebody out here really doing this talking about King of the house baby he the queen straight up he is the damn Queen people were dragging her advice left and right calling it outdated and Flatout wrong WR folks were not feeling this whole idea of women submitting to men so Fantasia and kindall jumped on Instagram and Kendall started talking about how submission is like this beautiful
little song and dance Between Two Lovers bro said Fantasia submitting don't mean he's making all the decisions for the house nah they apparently talk it out then he decides what's best after considering her opinion oh okay so let me get this straight Fantasia bringing home the coins but he is the one calling the shots Boy by you got to earn that role period even though they finally got on the same page everything was still falling apart sis money situation was in the gutter cuz folks were taking advantage of her and kindall he had to step
away from that logistics company he helped build after beefing with his co-founders in their little book they wrote together Fantasia said they decided to come together and start their own label Rock Soul entertainment girl Fantasia please how many times Auntie Regina got to tell y'all not to mix business with pleasure this man co-founded a logistics company tell me why the hell he couldn't just start another one that's his Lane what does he know about music nothing now y'all tell me who's really eating off this marriage go ahead I'll wait oh and don't forget they also
started that nonprofit salute first where Kindle's helping out convicted felons and at risk youth get their lives back but when they were hustling to get all this off the ground they was broke in the book Fantasia said date nights were tuna and baloney sandwiches and they were posted at the airport watching planes take off Fantasia added I thought it was romantic I would be grinning from ear to ear low ww wow expectations after struggling with fertility for years Fantasia hit us with the news in 2020 that she and Kendall were expecting their first baby together
so in celebration what does she do sis gave this man a whole Christian Dior diaper bag a diaper bag though ain't he supposed to be giving her a push gift Chile I cannot their baby girl kaziah was born in May 2021 making them a family of six and you mean to tell me that's what he got I'm a child fast forward they dropped that relationship advice book in 2022 and by 2023 kall's out here receiving an honorary doctorate from Texas Seminary Christian University meanwhile Fantasia has hasn't dropped an album since 2019 but she's still out
here touring the world and snatching roles like in the 2023 film The Color Purple let's not forget sis once opened up about being illiterate and now she's giving credit to kindall for pushing her into this new love for reading she told CNN I used to hate to read hated it and now I can't stop reading should have run that background check on yourself in the mirror sis Fantasia out here telling Essence magazine that her whole life did a 180 when Kendall slid into her world she said he's giving her the type of leadership their home
needs and showing her all the love she's been waiting for girl okay with Kendall right there by her side she's out here selling this fairy tale but let's be real you sure that leadership came with a manual she told Essence I'm not the same Fantasia and I love the queen that I'm becoming the real issue with Fantasia and a lot of y'all is that you don't really realiz you've been a queen from day one you've always been a queen a man stepping into your life doesn't suddenly make you royalty okay like come on and even
though the red flags are smacking us upside the head left and right we still wish Fantasia kall and the fam nothing but the best but bestie let's be real you Messy as hell
