Ahead of receiving their award, the ladies all walked the carpet wearing metallic looks.

LaTocha Scott especially stood out in the photos for her green MNM couture gown that featured a waist-cinching gold belt and a train. The stunning look however was VASTLY different than the dresses worn by the other singers.

Several people pointed out that Scott’s dress made her look like the lead singer of the group and some even alleged that she purposely tried to steal the spotlight.

Scott apparently saw the Internet chatter however and decided to address it—although she might have just made things worse.
LaTocha Scott Says She “Didn’t Get” The Soul Train Awards Attire Memo
On Instagram, Scott posted pics from the big night and noted in the caption that she “didn’t get the memo” about attire.
“Sorry I didn’t get the memo but everyone still looked amazing,” said Scott.
Despite her explanation, she still received criticism from fans—but at least one defended her saying that Scott “honestly might not have known” that the group planned to coordinate.
Scott agreed and hinted that there was more to the story.
“Thank you! Because they didn’t tell me anything. It’s more to this than people know.”
Her comment prompted Kandi Burruss-Tucker to hop in the comments to dispel her “didn’t get the memo” claims.

Kandi Addresses LaTocha Scott’s Soul Train Awards Comments
According to Kandi, Scott chose to have a separate stylist from the group so the rest of Xscape isn’t to blame for the fashion faux pas.
“@IamLotcha the only thing for people know is that you chose to have a separate stylist from the rest of the group,” wrote Kandi. “You chose to separate yourself do not blame us for that. Stop continuing to put out false narratives.”
Kandi said AHT you ain’t blaming us for yo bs again
