Kandi Burruss and former friend Kim Zolciak have been embroiled in a legal battle over ~~the world's worst song ever~~ Don't Be Tardy!

Kandi believes that not only did Kim abuse autotune, but she also abused her professional services when she robbed Kandi and her production team of royalties related to copyright violation. Last week the Real Housewives of Atlanta stars met in court and Kim was awarded a victory based on a federal jurisdiction technicality.

Kim immediately took to twitter to brag about winning the case, but not so fast! Kandi claims she fully plans to re-file in federal court – and that the loss was a preliminary matter. "Kim really didn't win. That was just one level of it," Kandi explains to Us Weekly. "Now it goes back to other levels of the court and it's still going on." I really don't understand legal issues, so if anyone else can shed some light on the matter – please do!

I swear – Kim Zolciak is the luckiest person alive!

If you recall Kandi Burruss filed a lawsuit against Kim claiming she stiffed her of her royalties from Don't Be Tardy and failed to give her a production credit. Kandi succeeded in having the song briefly pulled from iTunes over a copyright violation.

The Don't Be Tardy star fired back, claiming Kandi was using the lawsuit for publicity from her now canceled show The Kandi Factory. Well the Real Housewives of Atlanta stars finally had their day in court and a judge ruled in Kim's favor – over a technicality!

Kim Zolciak Fires Back Against Kandi Burruss’ Lawsuit; Claims Phaedra Parks Failed To Prove Kandi Has A Case!

by Mary McClelland on June 20th, 2013

The saga of the one-hit wonder continues… Unfortunately.

In her attempt to get Kandi Burruss' 'Don't Be Tardy' lawsuit against her thrown out of court, Kim Zolciak is taking on Kandi's lawyer Phaedra Parks and asserts that Phaedra has failed to prove that Kandi has sufficient rights to the material in question. She filed a Motion To Dismiss suggesting that Kandi has no grounds to file a suit for material that she has no copyright for.

In paper's filed by Kim's legal counsel she attests that: “Nowhere in Plaintiffs’ Complaint is it asserted that Kandi Koated Entertainment, Inc. is an owner or an assignee of any copyright interest in the Composition or the Sound Recording”.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star of course believes otherwise. Kandi is not the sole party in the lawsuit so it is unclear if Kim believes none of the plaintiffs involved have rights to the copyright.

Update On Kim Zolciak Vs. Kandi Burruss ‘Don’t Be Tardy’ Lawsuit; Kandi Calls Kim A Shameful Hypocrite

by Mary McClelland on June 6th, 2013

kim-zolciak-kandi-burruss-spinoffs

Kim Zolciak and Kandi Burruss are battling it out in court over the rights for 'Don't Be Tardy'.

Kandi, who sympathizes with all of us in declaring the song a national embarrassment, wants it permanently removed from the airways. But Kim, who doesn't exactly have a job ~~(except makin' babies!),~~ is fighting to keep it on iTunes claiming she has already "over-paid" Kandi for her services and that Kandi isn't even the real songwriter. ~~We know that's a lie!~~

At the true root of the argument, however, is the friendship betrayal between the Real Housewives of Atlanta stars. Kim filed a Motion To Dismiss the suit claiming among other things that Kandi was using the lawsuit for publicity and fame. Well Kandi is striking back!

Tonight two ladies who cannot stand each other face-off in dueling spinoffs and then they have to appear on WWHL together! Ok, just kidding about the WWHL part, but don't you wish?!

Kim Zolciak is being sued by former Real Housewives of Atlanta co-star Kandi Burruss over the single Tardy For The Party. And after spending weeks talking nonsense about Kandi and insulting her on multiple levels, Kim has filed papers of her own accusing Kandi of being a "shameless" publicity hound using the lawsuit to promote her spinoff The Kandi Factory.

Kim also wants a judge to toss out the lawsuit claiming it has no merit according to TMZ. Kim is adamant that not only has she already fairly compensated Kandi for her services, but she paid in excess by $6,000! Kim also insists that Kandi doesn't even believe her own suit as she is simply attempting to ~~pull a Sheree and~~ use the courts to get attention.

Kandi Burruss Speaks Out About Suing Kim Zolciak Over ‘Tardy For The Party’!

by Mary McClelland on March 20th, 2013

kim-kandi-song

Kandi Burruss is finally speaking out about the lawsuit she filed against Kim Zolciak over 'Tardy For The Party.'

Kim has been doing nothing but talking – and trashing Kandi – to the media, on twitter, and with ~~really badly written and poorly edited~~ PR statements. Now Kandi, represented by fellow Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks, is explaining what led to the lawsuit. And as predicted Kandi is saving most of her comments for their day in court!

"It’s time for the whole ordeal to be over. I asked TuneCore to take the song down in December 2012. They did. Kim sent an affidavit to put it back up, which they did," Kandi reveals in her statement. "TuneCore then informed me that in order for the song to be taken down permanently I would need to file suit to have it removed."

Kandi and co-plaintiff Rodney Richard (aka Don Vito), who is the co-writer and co-producer, are suing TuneCore along with Kim!

Kim Zolciak Releases PR Statement Defending Herself Against Kandi Burruss’ ‘Tardy For The Party’ Lawsuit!

by Mary McClelland on March 19th, 2013

Oh, Kim Zolciack-Biermann… the wig doth protest too much!

A week after Kandi Burruss filed a lawsuit against Kim in federal court over royalties, non-payment, and rights to use the song 'Tardy For The Party,' Kim continues to desperately exonerate herself by slamming Kandi in the media and on twitter. Among other things, Kim has called Kandi a famewhore seeking publicity and a liar. Kandi has not commented.

Going one step further, the Don't Be Tardy star put out an official press release giving her perspective on the lawsuit. It is of no surprise that Kim takes no responsibility and accuses Kandi of lies and negligence. Furthermore this is the most professional (ha!) press release ever. Is Brielle not only Kim's songwriter but her PR rep too?

"The lawsuit led by Kandi Burruss and Rodney Richard aka Don Vito against Kim Zolciak-Biermann over the song 'Tardy For The Party' is without merit and suspicious in its timing," Kim's official statement begins.
