Kandi Burruss tried to tell people she was “worldwide” and now she has more accolades to prove it. In 24 hours, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star secured both an Emmy and Tony nomination.
On Monday, Burruss took to Instagram to announce her nomination for a Southeast Emmy Award in the “Historic/Cultural/Politics/Government/Societal Concerns” category for her work in “La Musica de La Familia.”
“It’s a money-making Monday, an extremely exciting money-making Monday and I got a lot to be excited about,” she said in the video.
“I’ve been screaming all morning and am super-excited,’ she added, noting her reluctance to share the big news since she hasn’t won anything yet.
“But even a nomination is something to be excited about,” she shareD. “I got an Emmy nomination y’all.”

“It’s a project that I never even told anybody I was involved in,” Burruss said. “Hopefully I will have another moment like this tomorrow, as they announce the Tony nominations tomorrow.”
She had to cut her celebratory video short to attend to her motherly duties. But the accolades kept rolling in by Tuesday morning when Burruss’ husband Todd Tucker took to his Instagram page to share the exciting news that the Broadway show they produced, The Piano Lesson, received a Tony nomination in the “Best Revival of a Play.”
“Wow we are Tony Award nominated Producers! [Kandi] you[’re] on your way to that EGOT,” Tucker captioned his post. “What a great week[.] Emmy nomination and a Tony nomination!”

Burruss already has two Grammy awards for penning hits like “No Scrub” for TLC. She still has to secure an Academy Award nomination to potentially reach EGOT status.
But a Southeast Emmy Award nomination proves Kandi’s point that she is indeed “worldwide.”
