There’s no drama quite like family drama and Xscape’s Tamika Scott and LaTocha Scott-Bivens are a testament to that. The first time Tamika publicly spoke about her issues with her sister was on December 1st, 2022 during a radio show interview. The Xscape singer said, “I love my sister, and I’m always here for her. The personal problems that we’re having as a family should have never been spoken about. But she decided to speak on it to clear her name.”
This was in reference to a post that LaTocha made on Instagram. She made the post to clear the air about her out-of-place look at the 2022 Soul Train Awards. The issues between the two sisters didn’t end there. In a recent Page Six interview, Tamika shared the reason why she and her sister are not on speaking terms.

In the interview, Tamika alleged that LaTocha and her husband, Rocky Bivens, stole money from her by cashing $30,000 worth of checks into his account. She made this revelation at their mom Gloria’s house, where the two sisters were trying to reach an understanding with each other. “When you stole my money, mama didn’t say nothing. When you and Rocky stole my money, mama didn’t say nothing. Mama got quiet just like she quiet now,” Tamika said in the heated exchange. LaTocha was quick to deny Tamika’s claims, but the “Understand” singer stood firm in her claim.
At a later date, Tamika sat down with Gloria to unpack the situation. The conversation quickly went sideways, as Tamika claimed that Gloria showed unfair favoritism towards her older sister. Gloria was quick to refute her claims and made the counterargument that Tamika created a false narrative to help her sleep at night. The SWV & Xscape: The Queens of R&B star didn’t take that lying down, and was quick to retort, ”If I can sleep at night? He’s in my business, he’s taking my money from me and my family. But if I can sleep at night?” Gloria fired back, “Ain’t nobody taking money from you.” What are your thoughts on the situation? Tell us in the comments!
