Exclusive: Destiny’s Child Stars Michelle Williams & LeToya Luckett Talk New Projects

Published: Saturday 6th Jul 2013 by Sam

As a collective, Destiny’s Child are one of the most successful groups of all-time. Moreover, though, eight years since their split, each of the group’s members have gone on to achieve solo success that has served to strengthen the DC “brand”.

Continuing the trajectory in the here and now are Michelle Williams and LeToya Luckett, both of who we caught up with this week at Debra Lee’s Pre-BET Awards Gala 2013. Watch above as Williams dishes on her new Urban inspirational project (led by new single ‘If We Had Your Eyes’), while Luckett talks joining the cast of hit VH1 show ‘Single Ladies’. Of course, we had to quiz Ms. Luckett on her musical endeavours too. Hit ‘PLAY’ for the tea.

    F*** any nappy-headed hating h***. Michelle and LaToya can BLOW. Just like Beyonce & Kelly. Matthew may have fed them b****** dog food and made them get $100 a album, but he chose girls with talented voices! Wishing the best for them! (Even though I know they gon flop)

    • Prince Tea July 6, 2013

      Actually… Don’t sleep on these girls wallets. Every single former member of Destiny’s Child (including Latavia & Farrah) EACH have at least a $1.5 million net worth to their names. Look it up if you’d like 🙂

        gurl please!! miss me with that!! aint no way in hell farrah franklin got 1.5 million when she was in the group for 5 months! two years ago she was tryna sell dc memorabillia on ebay under a secret name. talking bout she found it in farrah’s old storage room. B**** PLEASE!

      • POP ROYALTY [RUDE BOY] July 6, 2013

        LOL at farrah’s Sneaky ways. 😆

        a b**** gotta make some coins someway.

      • D-money July 6, 2013

        Yea you’re right
        Beyonce is obviously the richest with $300 million
        Then Kelly Rowland has $18 million
        & Michelle Williams has $8 million.

        The numbers might be higher now
        But yea, they got bread

    LAWDY I JUST LOVE TENITRA MICHELLE WILLIAMS HER STYLE OF VOCALS ARE ALWAYS A HIT FOR ME & I LIKE COUPLE OF LETOYA LUCKETTS SONGS ALSO NOT A STAN FOR HER BUT IT WORKS @ TIMES I DO PURCHASE ANY MEMBER OR NON-MEMBER ALBUM CUZ IM A FAN ALL THE WAY THROUGH!! Excited for the NEW ALBUM MICHELLE & LETOYA!!

  4. muzikluv July 6, 2013

    Michelle is looking real good and healthy. Glad to see her really happy and excited. Her energy is super.

    LeToya getting those TV cheques with all these programmes she’s featured in. Music may have taking a backseat for a while but glad she she working on it and hopefully its get that great promo the 1st album got.

    I’m so impressed with them both having that “keep it moving” spirit.

  5. ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) July 6, 2013

    Michelle does look good and healthy. She scares me sometimes cause she can look a little too thin at times but she looks vibrant here. Can’t wait for that album! Mary Mary’s “The Sound” is still my favorite top urban gospel album, maybe hers will change that 🙂

    • Matthew Charlery Smith July 6, 2013

      The Sound is a great album but I really wanted more songs or at least one or two more that sounds dedicated like “The Sound” and “Boom” rather than the other dance 3 that were all electronic and sounded quite similar. The second half of the album is also great. Do you like “I Trust You”, the bonus track?

      My fave of theirs is still the “Incredible” album. It’s just 70 minutes of great diversity and they haven’t topped it since.

      Still not feeling this Gospel direction of Chelle. Just confused by her general message of World then Church. Toya doesn’t seem to really want it and she NEVER communicates with her fans!!!

    • Cee July 6, 2013

      I LOVE Michelle. I love all of DC3. Chelle is super nice and i’m happy things are looking up for her. I’d love to see her on TV and in movies acting, she’s actually pretty good. I can identify w/ her on her weight. When your naturally thin like us it is VERY hard putting on and maintaining any weight you gain, so you have to exercise to build up muscle. She’s like 5’9, so she has to try harder than myself who’s much shorter lol

  6. mildred July 6, 2013

    Please this flops should think of making a mark in the industry instead of still holding to the success of dc. Lol u guys are happy about their 1.8mill when bey alone is worth half a billion doller. Bey dominated them because she is smarter and more talented than all the other dc members

  7. ya July 6, 2013

    Can’t wait for letoya project nd I hope dat promo is oon lock this time. Also speakn of toya she got a live show comn up n dc @ Howard theatha I thnk 17th I wanna go. & tenitra Michelle new songs is good wanna hear more

  8. HOWYOULIKEIT July 6, 2013

    Gotta love all the DC ladies

    • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) July 6, 2013

      YES!
      Kelly>>>>>Michelle>Beyonce

      • HOWYOULIKEIT July 6, 2013

        lmfao. you tried at least

  9. Team Tasia July 6, 2013

    LeToya is the ONLY DC member besides Bey to have a #1 album (two to be exact). Both of her albums were hot, but Lady Love was a classic! Toya is a hustler! She’s still getting those DC royalty checks, her solo checks, checks from her boutiques, checks from The Preachers Kid, The Wayans Show, Single Ladies and the show that shes hosting on Centric! Grind girl and get that money! I love Michelle, not too fond of her music, but she can blow!

    • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) July 6, 2013

      #Beautiful has been certified platinum in Australia and Gold in New Zealand.

      • Team Tasia July 6, 2013

        What does that have to do with anything?

      • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) July 6, 2013

        Just letting you know…

  10. DOSSOME July 6, 2013

    I really respect LeToya’s hustle,she never plays with opportunities…Her,Beyonce,Michelle & Kelly would’ve made the perfect DC line-up.

  11. ya July 6, 2013

    both of em are doing their things LETOYA is on her grind and I wish her wack ass record label would release her music do her some justice just for sitting on there uhhhhh!!!! And Michelle always seems to be on it just they don’t give her proper promo.
    And on the positive side Michelle is doing her thing lately and Letoya is on her grind, both of their music is great its different from Bey’s and Kel’s so they have their own lanes. Cant wait for not only the records but the performances too…

  12. Mark111 July 6, 2013

    DC is the only group other than The Beatles and New Edition to have most of the members to have careers after the group. Name another female group that the backup and ex singers went off and had solo success.

    • DOSSOME July 6, 2013

      @Mark111
      What of SPICE GIRLS??Majority of them had solo success.Of course Victoria Bekham had the least successful solo effort

      • Mark111 July 6, 2013

        You know I thought of them, but wasn’t sure. There were huge in the UK right? I remember Scary had a hit over here in the 90’s with Missy.

      • DOSSOME July 7, 2013

        Yes,the were..Each of them had solo top 10 hits…I like how they were marketed.5 different girls,all with different personalities.It was very rare to see them dressed the same way just as it was difficult to tell who was their lead singer (Scary or Ginger?)

  13. whitney did it better July 7, 2013

    I love Letoya. I can see her co-hosting a sho like THE VIEW

  14. Jonathan Gardner July 8, 2013

    SO PROUD of both these ladies and have been PATIENTLY WAITING for the past 4-5 years for their next albums!!

    SO HYPED for both of them.

    Michelle’s new single IF WE HAD YOUR EYES just debuted in the Urban AC top 50 today at #48 and is one of the FASTEST MOVERS this week!

    I predict a #1 soon enough
