In an interview back in 2020, Mama Joyce made it clear that while she does not have hate towards Todd, she just doesn't think he is a good fit for Kandi.

She said that, "I’ve never been angry with Todd, I just don’t feel that he’s the person that I would’ve chosen for my daughter." She also alluded to the fact being with him is the wrong decision for Kandi.

Mama Joyce said, "I’m just going to have to let her make her own decision, whether it’s good or bad, whether I’m right or wrong. If I’m right, I won't say anything but be there for her. If she’s right, I’ll be the first one to apologize. I’ll get on TV or whatever it takes to apologize."
