LaTocha Scott Tearfully Apologizes To Sister Tamika, Insists She Didn’t Steal $30K

LaTocha Scott has addressed recent allegations of stealing $30K from sister and Xscape group mate Tamika Scott. In a clip taken from her Instagram Live, the gospel artist apologizes for the strife between them, but maintains that she did not steal the money.

“For me and my sister, we gon’ get it together. I’m reaching out. I don’t have the answers. I found out about a $30,000 allegation when I watched TV with y’all,” LaTocha began. “Did I take my sister’s money? I did not.”

“We were going through so much 10, 11 years ago together as a family,” she went on. “It was one of the things that—I can’t lie—we were both at our lowest. We didn’t have money. We all lived with my mother […] So, when you talk about $30,000 that I don’t know anything about, all I said is ‘can we get clarity about it?’ During that time, we were both helping one another, I just need clarity. ‘Cause I have my receipts and you have yours.”

Scott went on to add, “We need to sit down as sisters and not go through this on social media. Like, on social media, it’s not good. We need to sit down and figure out what this is ’cause we can get through anything, but we have to communicate […] I’ve been convicted of being a thief, and I don’t even know what you’re talking about.”

She then addressed her sister by name, reinforcing the notion that she has “proof” refuting Tamika’s claims and continued to make her plea. “Whatever it is, Tamika, we can resolve it. This is not nothing that we need to perpetuate and continue to move and make people feel a way. This is us. We sisters. We’ve never not been able to talk about anything, not ever […] I want my family back,” said Scott.
