Blood isn’t always thicker than water, and this was proven when singer Fantasia‘s husband got unexpected backlash after surprising her during her Houston concert. Kendall Taylor touched the hearts of many with a heartfelt five-minute speech, reminiscing about his marriage to the vocalist aft er just three weeks of knowing each other in 2015. He wanted to make up for his past mistake of not proposing to her, so he seized the moment on stage and surprised his wife with an 11-carat ring, symbolizing the number of years they have been married. But Fantasia’s time to bask in the moment was cut short the next day by her father, Joseph Barrino, who called Taylor’s speech a “publicity stunt” and even accused him of stealing.

And there was no paper trail on his part. The other folk got fired, but he got her fired.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Fantasia Taylor (@fantasia) He stated multiple times that he loves Fantasia and claimed he was only “pushing” this message for the protection of his daughter, not for her money, as some fans suggested. Approximately 26 minutes into the live broadcast, a supporter of the “Truth Is” singer reminded viewers that her father filed a $10 million libel lawsuit against Simon Schuster in 2006 over the publication of her autobiography, “Fantasia: Life Is Not a Fairy Tale,” which explores her life before gaining fame. Reports state that Barrino didn’t approve of how he was portrayed in the book, which he says contains “false, exaggerated, sensational, intentional and malicious untruths.” Clearing things up about the suit, the truck driver responded, “First of all, I still work a job every day.” He added, “You ain’t find a public record no where that showed I sued her. Bring it to me! If she or somebody in her camp said that – then that’s the record from them that is not a public record boss man. You got to know what you talking about. And if it’s supposed to be the $10 million that I got – you think I’m gone get $10 million and still be working? Young man don’t be foolish.” Around the 33:19 minute mark, he admitted that Fantasia doesn’t speak to him, but did not explain why.  Fans responded to Fantasia’s clap back in The Shade Room with mixed thoughts. One person who hoped Fantasia did her research, “Girl I hope you investigated before you posted this cuz ion wanna hear my daddy was right in a couple weeks….” Someone else siding with her wrote, “It be your own family sometimes.”Others advised her to not go on Live writing, “No, girl. Don’t do it. No one believes him. Let it go!” Shocked at the words that camer from her, one person added, “I know Fantasia lips was shivering typing that.” However, another suspects that, “The husband wrote that… I just know it.” Fantasia and Taylor have a blended family of four children, including a daughter they share together. She has an adult daughter, Zion Quari Barrino, and a teenage son, Dallas Xavier Barrino, from previous relationships. Taylor also has a son and two grandchildren.
