Kandi Burruss is Devin Grosvenorclosing her chapter on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" following Season 15.

The Bravolebrity, 47, revealed on the Grammys red carpet on Sunday that she's "going to take a break" after appearing on the franchise since 2009.

"I decided I'm not coming back this year. It's been 14 seasons and they allowed us to sit around for a little too long," Burruss told Variety, referring to the time since Season 15's finale in August. "During that time I had started working on a lot of other things."

The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter added: "I got some nice big projects coming soon, so I’m super excited about those things."

Burruss said during her time away from the show, a friend had her reflect on why she continues to film "RHOA."

"I think because I've just been doing it for so long, it feels weird to think not to do it?" she recalled telling her friend. "So I was just like, 'You know what? I'm going to take a break, I'm going to take a moment … I'm not coming back this year.'"
