In reply to Ms. Ling Ling.

Destiny's Child was set up from the start not as a band, but as an OBVIOUS soloist backed up by harmonizers: Bey branching out was the goal.

PROCESS:
Tina banned Beyoncé from sun exposure to look lighter than Kelly in Girls' Time, Tina bullied the original lead singer into being fired for being too big, Tina accused Kelly of mitating Beyoncé's tone until voice coaches changed her sound, Mathew manipulated Beyoncé into cosigning firing many girls for lame reasons (and threatening radio stations if they played fired members' music) before sabotaging Kelly and Michelle's solo careers, Jay paid to steal songs from Toni Braxton to launch a solo Beyoncé, and Bey herself musta made a lot of literal sacrifices to hit it big.
