When R&B group Destiny’s Child joined forces to perform at last week’s Stellar Awards it marked the first time they had rocked a stage together since Beyonce‘s record setting performance at 2013’s Super Bowl halftime show.
However, as a number of the group’s fans have taken to social media to point out, they weren’t introduced as Destiny’s Child at the awards ceremony, opting to take to the stage under the individual names.
What that has to do with anything?
A move set to cut their former manager Mathew Knowles out of the picture…forever.
Daily Mail Online has learned exclusively that the threesome want to do another ten-year reunion tour and intend to cut a reunion album – but they won’t use the group name for that either.
And it’s all by design.
‘Although Destiny’s Child is made up of the three ladies, Beyoncé’s father and former manager Mathew Knowles owns one-fourth of the group as well. Anytime they do anything under the name Destiny’s Child, he has involvement in it and money from it,’ a source close to the group reveals to Daily Mail Online.
None of the members of Destiny’s Child want any involvement with Mathew, who once managed each of their individual careers as well as the group.
Kelly was first to fire him in 2009, Michelle followed in 2010 and Beyoncé finally nixed all dealings with her dad after accusations of stealing money from her in 2011.
Mathew’s marriage to Beyoncé’s mother Tina Knowles ended after it surfaced he had gotten a woman named Alexsandra Wright pregnant. Once she gave birth to their son Nixon, Tina filed for divorce.
In 2014, it was revealed that Mathew fathered a second child, a four-year-old daughter named Koi.
‘That it was claimed Mathew stole money from Beyoncé and then he sued to prove that he didn’t was bad enough. But all of the extramarital affairs and children outside the marriage just made it so that Beyoncé doesn’t have anything to do with her dad at all,’ the source explained.
In late 2012, Beyoncé invited her dad to meet daughter Blue Ivy and to have a conversation with him that was chronicled for her HBO documentary, ‘Beyoncé: Life Is But a Dream.’
But after that, says the source, she stopped communicating with him again and his only access to her is via her assistant’s work email address.
The trio’s unwillingness to deal with Mathew is why they keep putting off a Destiny’s Child reunion album and tour.
Their 2005 Destiny Fulfilled tour grossed approximately $70.8 million in the U.S. alone and according to Billboard it was the highest-grossing tour for either a pop or R&B band since TLC’s FanMail Tour.
Beyoncé, Kelly and Michelle wanted to record a 10-year follow-up CD and launch a tour. They know both the album and tour could a huge seller and break tour records.
‘The problem is they can’t figure out how to nix Mathew from the deal. They all want more than anything to give the fans one last run of the group, especially since they all have their own individual success, but don’t want to deal with Mathew,’ the source explained.
It’s unlikely that Mathew would allow the women to cut any deals without him.
His financial problems have been widely reported over the last year. Having once earned millions of dollars, Mathew told a court during a child support hearing in 2014 that he only made $127K in 2013 and has expenses of at $51,000 a month.
If true, Beyonce, Kelly & Michelle would follow in the footsteps of former members of the Brit-Pop group Sugababes who reunited using their individual names, Mutya, Keisha and Siobhan, when legalities prevented them from using title.
If the ladies do reunite it’s likely they’ll do so under the Columbia Records umbrella where Beyonce flourished as a solo act after the group’s first split in 2002.
It’ll probably be ‘DC3’
TLC>>>>>>>>>>>>> DC
@arfo LOL gurl bye, no shade to Rozonda & TT but y’all know DC3 would never ask for 250K from their fans.
I spot no lies
DC could literally sing circles around TLC
That’s what I was thinking. It would still work bc their latter fans called them DC3 instead of Destiny’s Child.
Even tho I hate that h^e I’m actually down. I miss Kelly and Letoya singing behind Beyoncé….. they probably won’t buy their name like TLC did because Matthew would have their money.
It can just be DC and they will be coo! This is exciting news but also sad because Mathew played a HUGE role in their success! It’s bitter sweet because he’s done a lot of things wrong but so many things he’s done Right ! ROLL IT OUT THO! DC3 show the girls how to really do it!
I agree. Beyonce hasn’t been as successful since severed ties with father. Bey fan for life but the receipts prove this to be valid.
And honestly, who knows you better than your parents
They should keep the name Destiny’s Child bcos that is what they’re known for. #DC4eva
They had a name for thier group of then went solo, obviously need a new name if they regrouping, I endorse this
Omg omg !!!!
Is JAYZ gonna be the manager this time?
Y’all know Jayz gonna figure out a way to get his percentage. lol
That’s Mathew Knowles JR right there…………….
Maybe he will organize the tour so he can make more than them like he earned more than Justin and Beyonce from Live Nation for putting the hose tours together.
thatgrapejuice be trying it to the fullest… girl by with these allegations
Hopefully they have another singles run. My body is ready
Yessss #PoorRihanna
What does this have to do with rihanna…? Three old h*** getting back together hardly proves a threat to anyone. Moreover ciara and the rest who are struggling should be scared. Rihanna can and will suffice. Take a break model. Drop an album! Maybe another box office smash ! Bye
Get out of my mentions and focus on American FLOPygen!!!!
B**** watch your mouth, Rihanna can’t even sing that’s a laugh in it’s self. Even Michelle sings 1000 times better then Rihanna could ever dream of. What happen to Rihanna doing more Timeless music ???.. Didn’t work out to well and then she gives yall a song that’s no where near timeless BBHMM ??? Really child please
I’m up in here and what? Girl worry about I flop and ciara flopckie ! The nerve! Rowland please stop I love kelly! So I’m not going to come for her! Yes Michelle can sing better never said that she couldn’t, but she is still a flop. She is the only one out of the group who couldn’t launch a lucrative career outside of gospel; so she jumped back into it and still became overshadowed by unknown deities. However I supported say yes, yes, everything and the other one feat Fantasia. Eyes or something.
Where’s #RLATE’s release date sis? Please tell me…
I hope it’s DC5. LETOYA AND LATAVIA HAVE TO BE A PART OF THIS!
no…
DM reported this too but claimed they were going on a 10 year tour which is a full-on lie, since even the Rolling Stones wouldn’t commit to that. I’m excited but before i go full force, I wanna see the receipts:
https://youtu.be/AdyaLWMt6qA?t=21s
I’ve fell for this too many times (anyone remember the DC has to record an album bc they still had one album under contract rumor?), so it’s hard to believe. Still, I would love a DC3 & DC4 reunion tour in 2015 (marking 10 years since last album) or 2017 (20 years of Destiny’s Child).
Their story was always that Tina Knowles was the person who came up with the name when she was reading scriptures, so arguably she created the name.
But I think the girls just don’t wanna go to court with Mathew, cos his slimey ass will backstab all of them. They should just go with DC3!, either way i’m HERE for it!
it doesn’t matter who came up with the name. Matthew Knowles copyrighted that name to him, so whenever that name is used or they perform under that name, he gets a check.
Yeah I figured that part out. The girls will never admit it, but LeToya and LaTavia were right about Mathew from the very beginning.
Yasss post that rare shady interview! I was living for Tenitra eating that fried chicken and shading Kelly! It was all jokes but I love their friendship!
Beyonce stay carrying these hoez!! Either she really enjoys doing that or she is just trying to hurry up and fulfill the contract obligations and be done with it for good.
Carrying who ?? Because you can’t be Talking about Kelly … When Kelly is perfectly fine as a Solo artist.. They are coming back together because that’s what the fans want b****.
Kelly only has 5 fans. I thought her last era made that clear but I guess you in denial…..sad.
Yeah Jino u right, 5 stans who made her sold over 32 millions records as a solo act
Step 1: Go back
Step 2: Think harder
Step 3: Comeback later
Cause that ain’t it chile
But where are your receipts though????
Just Shut It The Song they performed was a michelle ft kelly and beyoonce song so there is no way they could have been introduced as destinys child.
am I the only person that doesn’t care what they call themselves?
Just hurry up and drop a new album and go on tour!!!
I’m reaching for the gods for this but I think it would be cool if Letoya and Latavia has some involvement in this reunion…whether it’s them performing their older classics on stage or feature on a track.
All these ladies are in a good place in their life and people forget (youngins) Destiny child began with them.
I was thinking the same thing lol. I’d rather Bey release another album with Kelly and Michelle before she does a joint release with Jay
Me too.
After Latavia’s stint on R&B divas, i’d leave her out. But Letoya is my girl and i am all for that!
Drop Michelle & replace her with Letoya. Then, we can watch the SLAYAGE. Michelle is hella weird. Never really liked her in the group. And, her voice is UGLY!
Stawp “Michael Jackson Legends Panel voice”
But SLAYchelle gave DC3 that gospely sound you love f**! Beyonce said it herself. Letoya is cute but she ain’t out singing michelle no ma’am
To say that Letoya cannot out sing michelle means that you have not heard a Letoya Luckett album. The interesting thing is that Letoya and michelle use that high chest voice often, letoya can go just as high, maybe even higher but she doesn’t sound like a chipmunk when she gets up there like michelle tends too.
I used to think that until Tenitra took me all the way to church on ‘Through With Love’. That gurl was serving me some Nina Simone realness on that bridge †
Lol You can’t shade Michelle like that. She could sing, even though she had only a few good moments solo wise, but her voice provided the richness of the DC3 harmonies.
DC4 harmonies >>>>>>>>> DC3 tho.
And no one would care about these middle aged women getting back together but their die hard fans the rest of the public has moved on.
Coming from a sKeri fan ?kiii
And whats the shade coming from a Caesar Stan? Your faves career died with crunk music in the early 2000s
And your fave never had a f****** career to begin with f** try me!
Lmao @ Jackie. Ciara>>>>>Big Bird
But I bet can’t even get a plastic certification after 2 months ; when it does I’ll converse with you
@naomi ; f*** off b****,are you named after Naomi Campbell because your ugly ass has no edges ? Bald h**
Lmao you mad?
LMFAOO @ Keri Kween
@slayriah hey boo
Keri wrote a song on Goodies, check the credits h**!
I’m here for it.
Plays Survivor followed by bills bills bills
I hope this is true! but only after she drops that joint album!! I’m here for Beyonce continuing her legacy of ending careers!!!
Who’s career is she ending boo? But in all seriousness what’s your fave Destinys Child song?
She’s ending Rihanna’s career soon and say my name.
If Beyoncé could end Rihanna’s career then why is it hat Rihanna has been going strong for 10 years? Why is she a global superstar with 6 platinum albums and 13 #1 hits? Lmfao keep holding onto that dream; it’s literally all you have.
ummm did I mention Mariah?!! B**** I just laugh at your desperation to argue with a Hive member! Lmaooo Get lost b****.
*
*Back to smoking this blunt and paying your existence dust*
Desperate to argue with a miserable loose broke ass bottom? Lmao I correct any false shìt I see on here and based on your response, you have been corrected. Don’t forget to search for me in the next Mariah post since that’s your hobby and all. You can dismiss yourself now. Muah
yes honey your fat depressed ugly box shaped sour canon hole p**** ass can’t go a day without mentioning Beyonce or the Hive. We are your life baby! We own that pea brain of yours! You still clinging to one incident that happened in 2013! B**** I can’t even remember the last irrelevant Mariah post I even clicked on and I’ve paid all of your tragic weak redundant attempts at coming for Beyonce DUST! Like I said get lost b****. No one uses you anyway. Not even the lambs!! lmaooo #DesperateForAttentionAssBitch
Closes coffin^
Pea-sized brain? coming from the same struggling ass h** who doesn’t know the difference between ‘affect’ and ‘effect’. You’re the same B***** who tried to explain what a homonym is and got your ass clocked by several other commentators. You get dragged day and night on TGJ HUN…. That is where your life starts and stops. I feel bad for you because your life is clearly tragic. No education, no life, no walls, no hairline. Poot Box_Hive
but you guys been saying beyonce was going to end her career since she debuted and she has only become more of a force outselling her without doing the half. So I’m lost. Moreover which one of rihannad careers are you talking about. She has several to fall back in. Unlike beyflopa. Slay go crawl back into your hole.
oh lordt it’s still in my reply box with it’s liesssss! I was not the one who confused affect and effect and I damn sure don’t get dragged. Sad when you have to resort to lying. We all know that you are studying hard for your online medical assistant certificate. No need to embarrass us with your ivy league education. Sam should really consider hiring your nerdy ass to be his personal spell checker. We could never. Now take your wide load built ass and the last few strands on your balding scalp and bow out gracefully! You’ve finally got what you’ve been working so hard for. MY ATTENTION! lmaooo
.
*sprays raid roach spray all over this b*****
“Slayriah recycles same reads”
*turns around and uses that tired medical certificate struggle ass shade*
Don’t be upset that I called you out on your unintelligence; you should be glad that I’m encouraging you to get into school before it’s too late. I’m sure you don’t wanna be flipping burgers at Burger King for the rest of your life sweetheart. Honey, when will you understand than no one is seeking your attention? You are irrelevant AF and literally no one gives a single f*** about your pressed soul. As long as you recycle that medical certificate ‘read’, I’ll remind you that you’re a dumb ass used up drug w***** who had to find out what a homonym really is on a freaking music blog of all places! Now make like your decomposing walls and disappear Thot. #ClassDismissed
DEATHHHH @ rihgirl claiming rihanna has out sold beyonce without doing the half!!! lmaooo Are you serious???! Your fave has had to release albums annually. she is currently on her eight album in ten years. Bey has outsold her discography and 50 generic hits by millions in the u.s. alone and only a few million behind in record sales with three less albums. Beyonce is also an accomplished actress with an extensive resume, touring GOD, and smart business woman that earns rih’s netwoorth in a year!! lmaooo Bye. I hope you don’t think rihanna’s ugly ass would actually make it as a supermodel and real life. cute BWAHAHAHA
ugh *yawnss* Hagriah get lost. You bore me with your weak essays. Besides I’ve already burned your nappy wig and moved on! Now run along and study for your medical terminology spelling test. Bye!
Rih has already made it as a model though! Heavily endorsed more than people who do it solely for their bread and butter. Ugly? Let’s not start posting links. Especially from the super bowl performance where they blamed lighting for beyonce looking like a transvestite! Lastly subtract dc3 sales please! She hasn’t outsold her. Yes the half. Bey has to use propaganda to sell. She can thank daddy, she can thank blue Ivys real mother, and she can thank jay. Moreover whatever else she earned she stole. You can pray for Rihanna’s demise. It’s simply not going to happen.
Beyonce has sold over 140 million records as a SOLO artist with FIVE albums! No DC sales included! She has not had to release annually in hopes of becoming irrelevant! Beyonce has her talent to thank for her success. You don’t make it nearly two decades in this industry off of propaganda! If anything, Rihanna should be thanking Jay-z because she was a certified irrelevant flop before he collaborated with her on her third album! Beyonce was already the lead vocalist in one of the highest selling female groups of all time! Rihanna should also thank Chris Brown’s fist, the multiple top 40 trends she had to d*** ride for success over the years, her stylist and social media. She is not a raw talent. Was just at the right place at the right time.lmao Rihanna is no more of a model than Beyonce and other pop stars before her, who’ve modeled for brands and shot hundreds of magazine spreads. If she wasn’t a singer, her fourfive head ass would still be picking coconuts somewhere looking basic af! Btw why is she so scared to release that album after three singles?? Which confirms what neyo said lmaooo that “reign” is slowly coming to an end!! 😀
@Rihboy
Why are you here? Shouldnt you be somewhere “sweating for a nickel and a dime” so you can create a Tidal account in order to watch American Floygen?
*Flopygen
I’m already a member 1. Lls. 2. Shouldn’t be quiet because you have been making every excuse to not support tidal; avoiding the reality that your a broke b**** hiding behind a thieving fraud? I’ve watched it about 7 times thank you. I mean just flawless. I didn’t like seeing Martin like that tho. Anywho get the phuck out my face and of my cocc
Tidal offers artist way more royalties than Spotify. Better than the 360 deal that your fave was previously on. So sit!
They should just go with DC.
I love how Farrah automatically gets paid dust whenever theres talk of a reunion, even though she always talking about it LMAO! Can you imagine getting fired from a job 15 years ago and then bragging about going back as if your welcome, SCREAMS! Anyways who would cover her shifts at Dunkin’ Donuts
That child was only in the group for like 30 days tho…
LOL! And shes always doing the MOST on IG posting the 4 pictures she took with Destiny’s Child when she was only there for a few weeks. I still live for the video when Farrah claims they were her friends and Bey was giving her the side-eye!
Bish!!who would cover her shift at dunking donuts tho?! In dying!!!!hahahahha
LMAOOOOO! No, no, no you didn’t have to shade the girl’s income source. 😆
Im here for DC3 #Legends
I vote DC3 as well…#DC3! Let’s make it known!!
I will always support the iconic girl group Destinys Child. But i don’t know how much of this I should believe.
right I don’t know if it’s true either! You know how they love to use the Queen’s name for hits.
Don’t be delusional we know who pulls in hits here.
How is it delusional? Beyonce pulls in hits. Go seethe somewhere else.
Not Beyonce singing die with you(a none single) in her pajamas on a piano getting over 300 comments and nearly 2000 shares while rihanna’s new flop singles and videos barely reach 200 comments and 100 shares. Yeah we know who brings in the hits b****! lmaooo
I don’t like Michelle. She does absolutely nothing for me.
SLAYchelle > Britney
SLAYchelle > Rihugly
That awkward moment when Britney, Rih, and Michelle are all more successful than Ciara. Lmfao
Britney and R**** damn sure ain’t more talented though FACTS
Ciara is very talented. But Rihanna and even Britney have better voices than her. + I like Britney more as a dancer. Sorry
Death Britney sings like she has helium in her throat and can’t dance for s***!!! F*** outta here and Rihugly can’t even sing in key BYEEEE
Ciara can’t sing period. Talking and connecting words isn’t singing. Whining and whispering isn’t either. Don’t make me laugh Jackie.
Rihanna and Britney aren’t phenomenal vocalists but their voices are unique. Ciara sounds like any subpar R&B chick. Her voice is literally paper thin.
I knew it would result to this. Your queen has obviously run out of options, and in order to survive hurricane Adele she has no choice but to use her two DC lessors Kelly and Michele. Or whatever their names were!
Girl BYYYYYYYE!!!!!!!!!!

Well, chile, I’m here for it! Let them re-unite and slay us all again with a new tour and album! Bet all the undercover stand will come out from the rocks they’ve been under and forget about their faves to stan hard for them. I’m not mad, though. I just wan’t these receipts to be true. If it is, I’ll be perched and beyond ready to purchase the album and my tour tickets behind my computer. Let it happen ’cause I’m all here for it!
Bring another classic album and timeless music .

David revise your wording, you can’t say Destiny’s Child are following in the footsteps of the sugaflops just because they are changing their name. Sugaflops are an embarassment to british pop and they kicked out every original member and stole the name, so they shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence as DC3. They are not even on the same wavelength!
I would for this to be true. When they come together, it feels like old times. It doesnt feel like a bunch of washed up has beens trying to stay in tune. DC Forever!
Jumpin Jumpin slays me.
In the words of the legendary Ms. Nene Leakes, The Thirst is R-É-A-L. Lmao

Bye girl
Beyonce alwAys has to be propped up
My body, soul and spirit is ready! Yasss. *Plays bug a boo*
Damn! This woman doesn’t own her masters, nor name NOR the name of the group, yet she’s a quuen? Meanwhile Rihanna… nevermind, y’all already know.
“Their 2005 Destiny Fulfilled tour grossed approximately $70.8 million in the U.S. alone and according to Billboard it was the highest-grossing tour for either a pop or R&B band since TLC’s FanMail Tour.”
Forever in TLC’s shadow. Oh and they OWN their name. #Ooops Matthew and Pebbles should get married, lol.
Yet Bey and Jay own her and are billionaires? That’s y she’s not in their lane sis! Nighty night!
They don’t own s***. Rih will surpass Beysic in 5 years.
Parkwood says hello.
I think ‘Golden Gworls’ would suffice but it’s already taken. How about ‘ The Houston grannies’ or is that too obvious
Lame
All jokes aside, they should kick out Skeletor and the Pistons mascot, put Jessie J and Ariana Grande in their place… they could help Bey get a hit
They could be called ‘ A BJ’
#NowPlaying: Destiny Fullfilled
DC3 will work
Good luck to whatever name they pick out for their groups but I’d love to see DC5
I wonder what Letoya and Latavia are thinking of this move.
I love my DC3 girls but it took them more than 10 years to realise what Toya and Tavia knew in 1999
