Constance Davis 12 May 2025

What happened to the stars of Destiny's Child who stepped away from the spotlight? While Beyonc Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams continue to dominate the music industry, the paths of LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett have taken intriguing turns, leaving fans wondering about their current endeavors and lasting impact.

In the vibrant early '90s, before the world knew them as Destiny's Child, a young Beyonc Knowles, Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson, and LeToya Luckett were honing their craft in an R&B group known as Girl's Tyme. Their journey began in Houston, Texas, a city that would later become a significant backdrop to their collective and individual successes. Though they faced an early setback on the talent show Star Search, this experience only fueled their determination. They regrouped, re-branded, and Destiny's Child was born. Their initial offering, "No, No, No," marked the beginning of their ascent, quickly followed by the album "The Writing's on the Wall," which became a cornerstone of their burgeoning success.

LaTavia Roberson, an American R&B singer, played a crucial role in the group's early years. She contributed significantly to their initial success, recording two studio albums and helping Destinys Child sell over 25 million records globally. Her contributions helped Destiny's Child secure a place in music history and earn two Grammy Awards, three Soul Train Music Awards, and countless other accolades. In January 2000, both Roberson and Luckett were unexpectedly released from the group, marking the end of their original journey with Destiny's Child.

The success of "No, No, No Part 2," produced by Wyclef Jean, propelled Destiny's Child into the spotlight. Managed by Beyonc's father, Mathew Knowles, the group saw their single peak at number three on the Billboard Hot 100. This early success solidified their place in the music industry, laying the foundation for the legacy they would leave. The early era of Destinys Child was arguably its most impactful when Roberson and Luckett were integral members.

LeToya Luckett, following her departure from Destiny's Child, embarked on a successful solo career. In 2006, she released her self-titled album, "LeToya," which showcased her vocal talent and introduced her to a wider audience as an individual artist. The albums "Lady Love" (2009) and "Back 2 Life" (2017) followed, further demonstrating her artistic versatility and continued relevance. Alongside her music career, LeToya has ventured into acting and various business endeavors, keeping her profile consistently high in the entertainment world.

After leaving Destiny's Child, LaTavia Roberson opted for a different path, pursuing a career that prioritized personal projects. She, along with LeToya, and Tiffany Beaudoin and Naty Quinones briefly formed the group Anjel. The group was managed by 581 Entertainment and recorded 22 songs in Atlanta in 2003 with the assistance of Jagged Edge for an album called "Heavenly." The production deal with Jagged Edges production company, 581 Productions, however, fell through and Anjel split in 2003. While Roberson's focus has been less directly on the music industry, she has made appearances, including the highly anticipated Destiny's Child reunion.

In the sphere of television, fans might recall Anjel, a short-lived R&B group that included former Destinys Child members LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson alongside Tiffany Beaudoin and Naty Quinones. The group recorded a series of tracks in Atlanta in 2003, with assistance from the R&B group Jagged Edge, in the hopes of releasing an album titled "Heavenly." Unfortunately, their production deal faltered, leading to the disbandment of Anjel in the same year.

The reunion of Destiny's Child members is a landmark event. When Beyonc brought her Renaissance World Tour to her hometown of Houston, Texas, nearly every member of Destiny's Child, including LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett, gathered to celebrate. LeToya Luckett shared a touching group photo on social media featuring Beyonc, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, and LaTavia Roberson. LaTavia Roberson herself reflected on the experience, describing it as "priceless."

The impact of Destiny's Child on the music world and pop culture is undeniable. Beyonc Knowles, Kelly Rowland, LeToya Luckett, and LaTavia Roberson left an indelible mark on R&B history with their hit single, "No, No, No Part 2." Their music continues to resonate with audiences, and their stories serve as a testament to the complexities of fame, success, and navigating the ever-changing entertainment landscape.
