* TakeThat: They were on the receiving end of a diss from Music/TheNotoriousBIG on "Just Playing (Dreams)"; on which he called them ugly, and said he'd rather sleep with Creator/RuPaul before considering sleeping with any of them. The group took great exception to the remark, and while Biggie ''did'' attempt to apologize in person at a Soul Train Awards afterparty, Kandi refused to talk to him. Unfortunately, Biggie was murdered later that night, and Kandi [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJrfGSf8ds4 later admitted]] she regretted not accepting his apology.

* BreakupBreakout: Kandi and Tiny. They moved on to reality television and other business ventures which allowed them to build careers outside of Xscape. The Scott sisters on the other hand are still primarily linked to their time in the group. However, they have still done things on their own.
