"Unnecessary Trouble" is a song by American recording artist Demetria McKinney. The song is featured and written by R&B singer Kandi.
The song was met with positive to mixed reviews by critics.
Singersroom reviewed the song in their article "Kandi opens the song with a verse to warn McKinney of the shady things her man has been doing behind her back, to which McKinney refuses to believe. “Girl don’t tell me sh*t bout my man no more / Just like I don’t say what I heard about yours,” Demetria replies." "This whole situation played out on a season of RHOA. Could this song be inspired by real-life events regarding McKinney’s CEO boyfriend Roger Bobb? In the Derek Blanks-directed clip, the ladies poke fun at the show's drama by spoofing Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live!" hosted by Andy Cohen (the clip features a character named Randy Cohen); former RHOA cast member Claudia Jordan cameos in the fun, colorful video."[1] Kel & Mel reviews stated "One of the biggest musical surprises to come out of The Real Housewives franchise has been Demetria McKinney.. Now, as it’s time for her to build add to her own discography, she releases a duet with mentor and musical vet Kandi Burruss. The track, about two women figuring out what the boundaries of their friendship are when it comes to speaking on each other’s personal lives, is a gem."[2]
