🎭 Kandi vs. Kenya: Queens of YouTube or Just Collecting Clicks?
Baby, let’s talk about the real Housewives hustle—because when it comes to Kandi Burruss and Kenya Moore, it’s giving “views, shade, and maybe a YouTube check… if the algorithm feels generous.”
But who’s actually cashing out, and who’s just filming in the dark?
👑 Kandi: Queen of Consistency or Queen of Control?
Let’s keep it cute but honest—Kandi’s YouTube game is tight. With her Speak On It series pulling in hundreds of thousands of views, sis is booked, busy, and monetized. She’s got the lights, the mic, the production, and a guest list full of reality stars and confessionals juicier than a peach in Atlanta heat.
Oh, and her channel? KandiOnline has over 665K subscribers. We see you, Miss Mama. And with every upload, she’s stacking those AdSense coins and flipping it into promo for her restaurants, tours, and lip gloss line. She’s not just on YouTube—she’s using YouTube.
💅 Kenya: Beauty, Brains… and Buffering?
Now let’s talk about the shade in the room—Kenya Moore’s YouTube channel.
Chile… it’s giving “soft launch.” With just around 56K subscribers and a few uploads here and there, Kenya’s page looks more like a forgotten playlist than a full-time hustle. One video will hit 527K views (go off!), but then she disappears like the finale of a show that got canceled mid-season.
And while Kandi is out here promoting businesses, Kenya’s page looks like she’s still deciding what kind of content she wants to post—lifestyle? reality tea? haircare? makeup tutorials? motivational monologues? Pick one, sis, and post it!
💸 Who’s Making Money Though?
Let’s break it down with some estimated mess:
- Kandi drops 30-minute confessionals with guests = Cha-ching 💰
- Kenya drops sporadic 4-minute life updates = Maybe enough for a venti iced coffee
With YouTube’s CPM (cost per thousand views) averaging around $3–$5 for long-form videos, Kandi’s uploads could easily bring in hundreds—if not thousands—per video. Kenya? Unless she’s cashing in with brand deals behind the scenes, her uploads aren’t paying more than gas money.
👀 But What About the Drama?
Let’s not act brand new. Kandi recently tried to come to Kenya’s defense after Bravo seemingly erased Miss Moore from the Season 16 cast promo like she was never crowned Miss USA.
Respectable? Yes. Effective? Not really.
Kandi said she supported Kenya, but fans weren’t buying it. Some accused her of playing both sides, while Kenya remained mysteriously absent—no peach in sight, no clapback on screen, and definitely no new YouTube video explaining anything.
Meanwhile, Kandi kept posting, kept speaking, and most importantly—kept getting paid.
🎤 Final Verdict: Who Wins?
| Category | Kandi | Kenya |
|---|---|---|
| Consistency | Weekly uploads, high engagement | Sporadic at best |
| Monetization | Yes ma’am, with ads and brand synergy | A lil somethin’, maybe |
| Influence | Strategic, boss-level branding | Iconic, but inconsistent |
| Drama | Stirred, served, and monetized | Quiet storm with viral potential |
☕ Closing Shade:
Let’s be real: Kandi runs YouTube like it’s a business, and Kenya’s running hers like a diary she forgot the password to. One is cashing checks, the other is catching views once a quarter—if the spirit moves her.
So the next time someone asks who’s the real YouTube queen of Atlanta, just remember: Kandi’s counting coins, while Kenya’s counting views.
