LaTocha signs a solo record deal on SWV & XSCAPE: The Queens of R&B
Tonight's episode of SWV & XSCAPE: The Queens of R&B saw the two groups preparing to take the stage together but also trying to find a middle ground on who would be headlining the tour. A lot of egos clashed, which also led to several conflicts and confrontations.
The official synopsis of the episode, titled Top Billing, reads:
"SWV and Xscape finally decide which group will headline their show as planning for the collaboration of a lifetime begins; LaTocha still hasn't told Xscape that she's shopping a solo deal, however."
As the tour was coming closer, the The Queens of R&B cast members gathered to hear the set design. Tamika Scott was in charge of the same and gave her fellow group members as well as the SWV ladies an insight into how the stage would look. Her sister LaTocha Scott wasn't impressed with the same.
In a confessional, she said:
"I'm usually the one that takes the lead on a lot of the creativity. My sister was never in that space. As a matter of fact, she was hardly in the studio. You wanna take that away from me, that's fine. Coz you've already taken the sisterhood."
LaTocha previously had issues with her sister Tamika over the latter body-shaming her and accusing her of stealing money.
Later on in the The Queens of R&B episode, Kandi and LaTocha from XSCAPE and Coko from SWV discussed the setlist for the upcoming tour. When the former group was deciding on the song and Kandi asked her fellow member for her opinion, LaTocha revealed that she hadn't put a lot of thought into it.
LaTocha also revealed that she had a meeting with Motown Gospel a few weeks ago and they wanted to sign a solo record deal with her. She discussed with her husband Rocky what she wanted the most and was excited for the same. The star wanted to enter the gospel music era and sing with a message to instill hope and inspiration.
By the end of the The Queens of R&B, the XSCAPE members had gathered for a soundcheck rehearsal but LaTocha was nowhere to be seen. Their road manager Shane confirmed that the latter wasn't going to be present for the soundcheck but would join them during the tour. Kandi was seemingly frustrated by the same.
Meanwhile, LaTocha felt that she was having a difficult time handling the group as well as trying to fix the issues with her sister Tamika. She finally signed her solo record deal.
