On August 21, Riley, Kandi Burruss, Todd Tucker, Todd’s daughter Kaela Tucker, and a group of Riley’s friends arrived at Wymara Resort and Villas in Turks and Caicos to kick off the special occasion. 

“Riley’s going to start 21 off real big,” Kandi said in an Instagram Story video as she showed their luxurious oceanfront villa, which was decorated with celebratory pink and silver balloons. “It’s beautiful… This is amazing.”

The group wasted no time checking out their private pool and popping open a bottle of champagne. Kandi also attempted to take shots with the birthday girl, and while neither revealed their liquor of choice, Kandi’s video showed bottles of Tito’s vodka and Casamigos tequila in the kitchen.

“I tried to go along, but shots are nasty,” Kandi wrote while reposting Riley’s Instagram Story video that showed her grimacing as she took a shot. In the same clip, Riley joked in her caption, “Like mother not like daughter.” 

In an August 22 video, Kandi once again documented herself trying to do shots with her daughter. 

“I promised [Riley] I would take shots with her for 21,” she wrote. “I don’t know how y’all do it! Shots do not taste good.”

After what was clearly a fun-filled night, the group didn’t have to go far for breakfast the next morning. “We got the floating breakfast… Love,” Kandi said in an Instagram Story video that showed a tray with bagels, pancakes, pastries, eggs, and coffee floating in the pool. “I come outside, out my little villa, and my breakfast is in the little pool. This is nice.”

Later, after the group spent the day on a yacht, Riley showed off her jaw-dropping birthday gift from her mom. “I love you [Kandi],” she wrote on an Instagram Story photo of her new Rolex watch. “Happy birthday to me.”

In an August 21 Instagram video post, Todd sat poolside as he talked about how special it was to be on the trip. “Happy birthday to Riley,” he said. “She invited daddy day care and Old Lady Gang mama, KB, so that’s cool. When your kids want you to come on [their] 21st birthday celebration with their friends, that’s a blessing.”
