Fans of Destiny’s Child have watched its members blossom into classy and successful young women. Well, most of them. Indeed, while Beyonce, Kelly, Michelle, and co continue uphold the integrity of their respected brand, the task is proving difficult for former member Farrah Franklin.

For according to TMZ, the aspiring solo star – who was part of the mega-selling group for five months from 2000 to 2001 – has been arrested for disorderly conduct.

Beauty, brains, business, and of course, stage blazing; Beyonce has become synonymous with them all.

However, in the last year, “stealthiness” has been added to the singer’s repertoire.

It’s for this reason, then, that many are wondering whether the star dropped a major hint about her next ambush on Instagram today.

Though one couldn’t tell by looking today, there was once a time when Christina Milian stood as a viable rival for ‘Naughty Girl’ singer Beyonce, both sharing a similar look and sound circa 2004 and 2005.

Alas, after being booted from Def Jam to make way for a then wholesome Rihanna, the last decade has seen Christina fail to reboot a career dripping with hit singles, perhaps distracted by her romantic ties to the men she enlisted to turn her Pop lemonade into Urban liquor.

Today, after what may have felt like an eternity, the singer has confirmed her official comeback to music’s scene, doing so with the support of mentor and the father of her ex-husband’s baby mama’s son, Lil Wayne.

Indeed, as recent fighting between the pair claimed more lives, the singer weighed in on the matter by tweeting ‘Free Palestine.’

Now watch as actor D.L Hughley shares his thoughts on Riri‘s supposed political stance.
