Twitter has been debating for days on who should headline a tour between SWV and Xscape when a clip surfaced of both R&B groups debating about it.
SWV’s managers suggested that they co-headline to avoid issues, however, Kandi thinks, Xscape should headline
simply because Xscape has the fanbase and has been headlining their own shows.
We may not have been the headliners in the 90s but we have been for the past 6yrs since we’ve reunited… & respectfully they’ve opened up for us multiple times already. ??♀️ #SWVXSCAPE #TheQueensOfRB

Watch:
Tiny made the point that SWV has opened for them before and business is business because Xscape sells more tickets.
SWV thinks they should co-headline because the show features both groups together and they have sold more records over all.
I never said they didn’t sell more records. But the concert is about who can sell more tickets. Be upset if you want but we’ve done other shows since the tour & the promoters still had SWV go on before us. It is what it is. https://t.co/qGQbnGvicq

The fans are all over the place, here are a few opinions so far:
I couldn't even listen to Xscape when their music was out. I could listen to SWV bc it was adult approved. I would buy tickets for SWV bc I only know a couple of Xscape songs.

I stay streaming SWV, Xscape isn’t even on my playlist but to Kandi’s credit they did headline more recent tours than SWV. I just wish SWV didn’t constantly link their brand to Xscape cuz it created the illusion that they are the smaller act in need of clout. I blame management

The truth is we have seen SWV and Xscape together before.
Remember Verzuz? Back then Billboard said SWV was the “winner” of the Verzuz, although it gave XSCAPE credit for a wider, more diverse catalogue of songs. Billboard named the final score as 13-11 for SWV.
We think they should co-headline.
What about you?
