Baby, This Is Keke Palmer is LIVE from the Essence Fest stage and the energy is EVERYTHING! Keke kicks things off with an exclusive clip from her new Prime Video movie 'The Pickup', then sits down with the amazing Kandi Burruss. They get into Real Housewives real talk (is a Phaedra reunion even possible?), generational clashes with Mama Joyce and Gen Z daughter Riley, and why Tina Knowles recently had Kandi in tears. Then the crowd joins in on the action as Keke and Kandi test out sexy (and some seriously flop-worthy) pick up lines. You may have missed Essence Fest, but you're still invited to the party!
