Thanks in great part to Perez Hilton, a late 90s interview clip of the original Destiny’s Child members made its way around the net due to one awesomely gif-worthy moment.
As fans know, the clip shows a young Beyonce, Letoya Luckett, and Latavia Roberson imparting some serious side-eye action to Kelly Rowland after she introduced herself as the group’s ‘second lead vocalist’.
No member of the group has spoken out about the viral clip until now as Luckett, in hot promotion of season 3 of VH1’s hit show ‘Single Ladies’, weighed in on the clip with MTV:
Video stream not available in all countries:
“OK, yeah, so, I suddenly start getting texts on a particular day, I guess as soon as it surfaced and they were like, ‘Your face.’ And I was like, ‘What face? What are you talking about?’ And so I went and I looked and I died laughing because I don’t even know where that came from or why we were looking like that.”
“Everybody is like, ‘Shade for Beyoncé’s cough,’ What if the girl had to cough?” she asked. “[What Kelly said] was the truth, we really would sit there and everybody knew their role. It was a real team, like, we were team players. B was first lead; Kelly was second lead; I was soprano; Tavia was the alto and she was the spokesperson. Everybody knew their lane so no one ever stepped in anyone else’s lane. That’s how every team should work.”
“Our faces were hilarious, I did something crazy with my eyes, and now I’m like, ‘Why did I do that? That’s so mean,’” she said. “But I don’t think it was made, because what she said was so true, and we all knew that.”
Beyonces a shady b**** and Kelly cant sing. #FACT
Lol. That was funny. I was shady as a t*** too.
Always been a fan. Can’t Waite to buy her new album “Until Then…”
Beyonce always been a pretty girl. Kelly was not cute back then, sorry.
BEYONCE I LOVE YOU BUT YOUR SUCH A SHADY B**** HAHHAHAHAHAHA
I heard a clip of the new song Don’t Make Me Wait on the UK version of Amazon…. cant wait for full version heard they gonna premiere it on Single LADIES
Someone said it was because at the time Matthew Knowles had told them not to discuss their “positions” within the group because it would make them seem divided. So Bey’s cough and side eye was more of a “you’re not supposed to talk about that” reminder than shade.
Latoya expression was also quite shady.
You don’t get to where beyonce is without a few shady bones in your body, of course the queen go’n have some pitch black shade beneath her lightly shaded skin
Did any of u read what Letoya said? Hello, it was the truth, stop with the shady comments…, what if she had to cough? Haha u cant control that!!
Beyonce is a fake b**** and I hope somebody skull drags that b**** on the streets one day!….and then slap Blue bubble jawed ass!
Don’t act like yall aint never thrown shade in your life. Rather a bit of shade than Twitter thuggin about your Net Worth and bullying people on Instagram with your lap dog friend.
I hope someone slaps My Gums Tho ratchet ass the same way Chris beat his forehead fave before anyone tries to slap an innocent child.
says a Ciara fan
DC was like the movie Mean Girls lol. THE QUEEN was Regina. Kelly was the empty head one. Toya was the stuck up one lol. I guess Tavia was Katy. @My Guns(Teacher) Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeas WHY DON’T U DO IT! That way THE HIVE CAN FAWK U UP!!!!!
Eat my s*** b****!
people need to let it go, they were teenagers!
Now suddenly Letoya was the one shading? Bey was the one doing the most with her fake a** cough and side eye at the very second Kelly started talking.
And people, do not make excuses for Bey. She’s always been triflin’. Any excuse just to justify Bey I guess.
Nasty ass F*g @My Gums…..I’m gonna make ur ass eat the pavement. Scary ass worthless F*g.
Christina stan Why don’t u STFU and go buy either Bionic or the other Flop Album.
beyonce is the s*** end of story 🙂
A CHRISTINA FAN TALKING ABOUT FAKE. YOU STAN FOR THE INDUSTRY B****.
Beyonce has never been called a b**** by anyone! Christina BEEN known as a b**** by everyone from Mary J Blige to Avril Lavaign. Take a seat>>>>>>
All these years people thought KING B was the b*tch of the group. When clearly Toya said it was them all sometimes. That’s just how most teenage girls act. Especially a group of them n a singing group. I kind of wish THE QUEEN would of kept that B*tchy side of her. I know its not good to have an attitude and be a b*tch but i would of luv to see her response to the lesser h*** like Floperi and Hoodrat Coles.
News Flash: Beyonce throws shade as a 17 year old girl OMG shes devil woman!
Call me when someone who has actually met her and knows her ever slates her as a person though. I’m sure Bey was quite controlling when they messed up because she probably never heard the end of it thanks to Mathew!
And this trick is jealous of Kelly, she thought she would be number 2,
in the group after Beyoncé(light skin girl syndrome)
Forgot Kelly’s family… Still trying her luck till today
Sit in a dark corner letoya….
Well Kelly was second lead.. You no that if you was a DC fan and listened to all the albums
Why would Letoya be jealous of Kelly? Beyonce and Letoya are the only DC members to have #1 platinum selling albums outside of DC. Toya is doing her thing and not worried about 14 year old drama. Sit down somewhere…..

Yea Kelly was
I’m by no means hating on Kelly but I’m just saying. Letoya is a grown ass woman and has no reason to hate on her.
Hey tGj post LeToya’s new snippet “Don’t Make Me Wait”! The full version will be available on Feb 11!
Lol @This pathetic R**** stan. That’s Shakira’s song and if two pop females duet on a song, of course it will become a hit. It still won’t top BL and it still won’t go #1 or stick around.
Don’t come at me BeyBonics! Christina may have been called a b*tch by some but at least she’s never been accused of stealing from others. Everything that Christina has worked for, she’s got it honestly. Christina didn’t need her daddy paying people just to get her recognized. Christina didn’t feign a pregnancy.
And in terms of being label a b*tch by some, it’s never been proven. Those who have labeled her that are females who are mad hatin on her talent and success.
@Christina The Real Talent. The industry is a shady place. Beyonce aint been any more shady than some legends, Christina is still the industry b**** so this is not the post for you. I’d rather play some tricks of the trade than be known as a mean spirited person by her peers.
And Christina Aguilera has been sued anyway lmao.
Death @ you using a tired 2011 rumor. And didn’t your precious Xtinas parent also f*** a publicist over? Like I said the industry is a shady ass place. You can’t be person who doesn’t say boo to a ghost in that industry.
Its not only females who labeled Xtina a b****. There have been males too. And Beyonce has talent and success and has never been labeled like Xtina. Stay delusional.
ABSOLUTE DEATH @THE CHRISTINA STAN!
Christina being a shady mean spirited b**** is more legendary than any of her music will ever be.Then you say don’t believe rumors and yet,you are still talking trash based off of hearsay alone.
Hi pot,meet your new roommate kettle.
Either or Destiny’s Child hasn’t been a group for like 9 years.This went on during their teens,most sane people aren’t going to think a person is the same as they were as teenagers.
The fact still remains Destiny’s and Beyonce have made a bigger impact than Christina ever will.
ANOTHER ABSOLUTE DEATH @aCiara stan being 1st to comment.So eager to drag,but still coming up short.
Funny how you say Christina being a c*** has never been proven yet you’re talking about Mathew Knowles paying for Beyonces career and that stupid rumor about Beyonces pregnancy.
Oh please, people have come forth with lots of damning evidence against Thievyonce. In terms of Christina being the “industry b*tch”, Christina has always spoken her mind, known what she wanted, used her talents, worked hard for her success and that automatically makes her a b*tch? The only time Christina has ever had legal issues was when she fired her first manager for stealing from her and the controversy over Ain’t No Other and because they had a minor publishing rights issue. Beyonce has been known to steal ideas from other artists and pass them off as her own then when the original artists come forward, it’s only then Bey releases a statement explaining what happened. Bey has always been shady as hell and at least Christina didn’t need to use back up singers to forward her career. She’s always been a solo artist.
I don’t see whats the point of this video n the majority of these comments. This is another thing where people/stans take something outta context and go to comparing. This is why people that truly enjoy music can’t enjoy it anymore. The cough and the face was suspect by Beyoncè, Toya’s wasn’t and I didn’t see it. Everybody in the world throws shade thats nothing new under the sun about that Bey is NOT perfect so don’t put her in that category that s*** is pointless just like her latest Grammys performance no tea no shade lol all the girls can truly sing so u over obessed fans that obess over celebrities that don’t give two f**** about you y’all need to get a life, job, and investing your time into ppl that genuinely care about you
@Christina but no one denied she stole. Beyonce is not the first nor last to steal. Your fav is still a known B**** and you’re telling me the long variety of celebs who have had the Wrath of Bitchtina are just jealous? Bye. Has nothing to do with speaking her mind. She is straight up stuck up person. This post is about SHADE not stealing, and your fav has thrown more bitchy shade and is known for being a shady ass b**** as a person than Beyonce.
The Skorpion Show impact!
I wish Pigtina could still an successful album. #FLOPTINA
They were being shady but I doubt she remembers one event from over 12 years ago she was a teenager they’re about in their mid-thirties now… Chile
Who cares, hell we’ve all been shady at some point or time in LIFE. That video was everything IMO…..
LeToya should have been 2nd lead and she knew it that why gave the side eye
@ SUNDAYLUV Yep LeToya definitely should have been second lead and DC’s original vocal coach basically came forward and said he don’t know why B tried to downplay their abilities because all the girls can sing but highlighted that LeToya had the second best overall voice to B. They said Kelly’s voice was lighter than air and noted that B and LeToya BOTH got accepted into that music academy, Kelly was rejected. smh. Kelly is pretty with a nice tone but she def got that by ass kissing vs talent.
this got me cracking up all over again lol
Lmao I love Beyoncé !!
People when I was also 15 I was shady as hell come on move on.
All the side-eyes were too funny lol.
My avi had to copy lol
Everytime Kelly sings I just get angry. Lol
