It appear AJ was involved in a fight in the parking lot of a local Atlanta Strip Club Body Tap Friday night.   Essence.com last month reported that AJ had financial interest in an Atlanta (unknown name) Strip club.    It appears the fight involved AJ and Frederick Richardson and there were witnesses to the fight.   Richardson who has now been charged with Voluntary Manslaughter, is currently being treated for his injuries at an Atlanta Hospital and will be taken into custody once he is released from the Hospital.

Kandi of the RHOA is confessing to Essence magazine about her relationship status with AJ.

ESSENCE.COM: Speaking of which, inquiring minds want to know what exactly does AJ do for a living?
BURRUSS: AJ over time has done a lot of things, including running this collection agency while we were together and he just recently bought into this strip club.

ESSENCE.COM: Hold up. Did you just say you and AJ are no longer together?
BURRUSS: (Laughs.) We’re on hiatus. He’s a great guy and he’s not the type to sit on his behind like a scrub, so it has nothing to do with that. Yes, he has a lot of children, and yes, I didn’t know about them all at first but I got over it because as long as you handle your responsibility and spend time with your children it’s not an issue for me. Another thing I want to set the record straight on is that AJ was married before. A lot of people make comments like, if he didn’t marry his other children’s mothers then why do you think he’s going to marry you.

ESSENCE.COM: When we spoke before you expressed concern about how a separation might affect your daughter. How is she handling your break?
BURRUSS:Things have changed because not only do I have my daughter living with me but now I am the legal guardian of AJ’s 12-year-old twin daughters because his mother felt the responsibility was too much for her right now and she couldn’t handle it anymore. He would have taken them with him, but they needed a strong female role model and wanted to stay with me. Just because AJ and I are together I have accepted them as my children the same way that my stepfather did me when I was their age and he and my mom separated. He continued do things with me as my father throughout my life.

WTF????  Kandi Girl, what is really going on?  You want that man so bad that you agreed to feed, cloth and educate his kids at your cost?  Counseling on this may be necessary!  Strong black women?  Please.  Let AJ be a strong Black Man and raise his two of six kids.

Ridiculous.
