50 Things Only Diehard Destiny's Child Fans Will Know
Like Beyoncé's mum casually designed all of their costumes...
Like Beyoncé's mum casually designed all of their costumes...
Beyoncé's father was their manager.
His name is Matthew Knowles, and he helped the girls rise to fame.
The girls would practice their dance moves and songs...
...in Beyoncé's family garage in Houston, Texas.
They would also practice at Beyoncé's mom's hair salon...
...called Headliners Salon, owned by Tina Lawson. "I'm not a regular mom, I'm a cool mom."
They were originally called 'Girls Tyme'...
...and they formed in 1990—seven years before they *officially* signed to a record label as "Destiny's Child."
Beyoncé was only nine years old when Girls Tyme formed.
Let that sink in (and throughly enjoy this clip).
The girls began as a group of six...and that didn't include Michelle Williams.
The six members were Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson, Támar Davis, Nikki Taylor, and Nina Taylor.
Then they transitioned to a group of four...
...which included Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson, and LeToya Luckett. (Still no Michelle.)
Beyoncé met rapper LaTavia Roberson (far right) while auditioning for a girl group...
...in 1990. Yes, she was a rapper.
Roberson and Luckett attempted to split from the group.
They claimed their manager, Matthew Knowles, showed favoritism towards Knowles and Rowland. #TheDrama
Luckett and Roberson were eventually replaced by Michelle Williams and a woman named Farrah Franklin.
But that ended pretty quickly, and soon they became the trio we all know and love: Beyoncé, Michelle Williams, and Kelly Rowland.
Franklin (far left) was reportedly kicked out of the group...
...because she couldn't handle their schedule.
And LaTavia Roberson claimed getting dropped led to depression.
It was during her time as one of the original members with Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and LeToya Luckett.
Destiny's Child was the world's top-selling female vocal group...
...between 1997 and 2005.
They have sold over 60 million records...
...and have recorded five albums.
The name "Destiny's Child" is derived from a passage in the Book of Isaiah.
The women are known for their Christian roots.
They performed at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2002.
#Slaaaaay.
Rowland has a *big* fashion regret during the group.
"One that sticks out, ugh, were these little yellow dresses with feathers at the bottom of it. We look like little chicks on Easter," she admitted. "I remember it didn't even have anything to do with Destiny's Child, but in middle school, I think it was, I remember going through this whole Clueless phase. And it was Clueless goes all wrong. I thought I was Dionne! And it just went all wrong. I had a There's Something About Mary moment, a Clueless moment, and I was like, 'Just chill on movies, Kel.'"
They were sponsored by McDonalds for their 2004 album 'Destiny Fulfilled.'
Their slogan was "Destiny Fulfilled...and Lovin' It."
