WHERE ARE THEY NOW: All 6 members of superstar girl group Destiny's Child | Business Insider India (2024)

Beyoncé has gone on to become one of the most successful musicians of all time since Destiny's Child broke up.

She's released eight studio solo albums which have sold a combined 42 million copies worldwide.

The 42-year-old singer is also the most decorated person in the history of the Grammy Awards, having won a record 32 awards.

Alongside Beyoncé, Rowland was the only other member of Destiny's Child to feature on all five of the group's studio albums.

As a solo artist, she's released four studio albums, the latest of which, "Talk a Good Game," dropped in 2013.

Most memorably, she featured on Nelly's 2002 song "Dilemma," which was a No. 1 hit all over the world and won the pair the Grammy award for best rap/sung collaboration.

Today, as well as continuing to make music, Rowland is working in TV and film.

Like Rowland, Williams has released four solo studio albums since leaving Destiny's Child.

Her biggest hit came in 2014 when she reunited with Beyoncé and Rowland for her single, "Say Yes," from her album "Journey to Freedom."

Williams released her memoir, "Checking In: How Getting Real About Depression Saved My Life–and Can Save Yours," in May 2021.

In the book, the now 44-year-old singer gave a candid recollection of her experience with mental illness and how asking for help saved her life.

Alongside LaTavia Roberson, Luckett left Destiny's Child in the midst of the group's success.

The pair felt the group's manager, Beyoncé's father, Mathew Knowles, favored Knowles and Rowland and was not paying them fairly.

After demanding a change in management, they were replaced by Williams and Farrah Franklin.

Luckett and Roberson subsequently filed a lawsuit against Mathew, Beyoncé, Rowland, and record label Sony Music, accusing them of breach of contract, defamation, libel, and fraud, according to Rolling Stone.

The lawsuit was settled out of court in 2002, just after Luckett and Roberson had started their own group, Anjel.

When the venture failed, the two singers moved on to pursue solo careers.

Luckett has since released three solo studio albums, the first of which, 2006's "LeToya," topped the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum.

Now a thriving actor, Luckett recently had a recurring role in the second season of Starz hit "Power Book III: Raising Kanan."

Unlike Beyoncé, Rowland, Williams, and Luckett, Roberson never released a solo album after leaving Destiny's Child.

She instead began working in TV and theater.

In 2017, she made her film debut in the horror movie "But Deliver Us from Evil." The same year, she also made a return to music with the release of her first song as a solo artist, "Best Time of Your Life."

In 2019, Roberson then launched a boxing magazine called "Slugfest Magazine." The publication has since ceased production.

Franklin joined Destiny's Child at the same time as Williams, replacing Luckett and Roberson.

Just six months later, however, after providing vocals on "Independent Women Part I" and starring in the video for "Say My Name," she left the group.

In July 2000, Beyoncé said in an interview with MTV that Franklin had missed a number of promotional dates, after which the whole group, including Farrah, "agreed that Farrah and Destiny's Child should part ways."

In 2015, Franklin contested Beyoncé's version of events in an interview with VladTV, saying that she left the group after being verbally attacked by management due to her not showing up to some of the promotional dates amid illness.

Now 42, Franklin released her last solo single in 2020, while she's also had a number of minor roles on TV.

In a recent birthday speech at a concert in Los Angeles, Beyoncé thanked all of the other former members of Destiny's Child except Franklin.

"I'm thankful for Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, LeToya Luckett, LaTavia Roberson," she said.
