Xscape Latocha is being reported to be taking a break from the group and will not be performing in some upcoming shows, TMZ reports.
According to the report by TMZ, the news of Xscape LaTocha taking a break from the group has seen fans freaking out, after noticing a promo for an upcoming tour featured four ladies, not four. But the report noted that it not a sign the group is splitting up, even if LaTocha has chosen to take a step back from the girls.
TMZ reported that a source close to the group revealed that Xscape LaTocha is still part of Xscape, despite what fans are noticing online. She made the call herself to put some space between her and the group.
Xscape shot a new Bravo show, which is set to come out in March, and the issues began once they decided to do a small tour, the TMZ report revealed.
TMZ also reported that sources say LaTocha was originally part of the tour, until her husband got into it with the promoter. She asked the rest of the group to not use the guy, but they said no way, choosing to keep moving forward, which is when she backed out.
Xscape LaTocha even asked her bandmates not to use the group name since she’d be MIA — like when they went by Xscape 3 after group member Kandi took a break … but no dice.
The report also stated that there has been no communication between LaTocha and her sister, Tamika, not to mention the rest of the group — but as a silver lining, it sounds like they will all be back together for the Soul Train Awards next weekend.
Another source close to the group told TMZ that LaTocha was asked if she wanted to be a part of some upcoming shows and declined. she’s given the remaining 3 girls permission to use the Xscape name and will join them at The Soul Train Awards.
Any notion the group is icing her out is false, and the promotion was done without her because she turned the shows down.
