Destiny's Child reunites after 19 years: Why they broke up—and was Beyoncé the reason?
Destiny's Child recently reunited on stage during Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour, sparking nostalgia and renewed interest in their split. Formed in the early 1990s, the group achieved massive success but faced internal conflicts, including lineup changes and a lawsuit against their manager. Despite disbanding, Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams have reunited for memorable performances over the years. Destiny's Child just gave fans a blast from the past. As Beyoncé wrapped up her Cowboy Carter tour with a star-studded finale in Las Vegas, she brought out her former bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams for a surprise on-stage reunion. The trio's unexpected performance had the crowd roaring and sparked fresh buzz online—not just about their nostalgic hits, but also about what really led to their split nearly two decades ago. Here's a look back at why one of the most iconic girl groups of all time called it quits. From Girl's Tyme to Destiny's Child Destiny's Child, originally known as Girl's Tyme, was formed in Houston in the early 1990s. Starting with Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson, and LeToya Luckett, the group performed at local events and went through several lineup changes. After years of hustle and building a local reputation, they signed with Columbia Records in 1997 and officially rebranded as Destiny's Child. Destiny's Child shot to fame with the release of their debut single No, No, No and their second album, The Writing's on the Wall (1999), which featured chart-toppers like Bills, Bills, Bills and Say My Name. Their mainstream breakthrough led to massive global success, with the group selling over 60 million records by 2013. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Billboard named them one of the greatest musical trios of all time and the 9th most successful artist of the 2000s. Throughout their career, they earned 14 Grammy nominations and took home two awards. Trouble Behind the Scenes While Destiny's Child was soaring in popularity, tensions were brewing behind the scenes. Trouble began when members LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett grew dissatisfied with the group's management—particularly with Beyoncé's father, Mathew Knowles, who also served as their manager. They felt he was giving preferential treatment to Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland. In 2000, both Roberson and Luckett filed a lawsuit against Knowles, alleging breach of partnership and fiduciary duties, marking the start of internal conflict within the group. Lineup Changes and Fallout In 2000, LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett were replaced by Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin. However, Farrah exited the group just five months later. Her departure stirred controversy—she told that she was "verbally attacked by the management" after missing promotional events due to illness. Beyoncé, on the other hand, claimed Farrah lacked commitment, which led to her removal. Following this shake-up, Destiny's Child continued as a trio. Their 2001 album Survivor was widely seen as a reflection of the group's turbulent past and resilience. Reunions Over the Years Later in 2001, Destiny's Child announced a hiatus and reunited in 2004 for their fifth and final album, Destiny Fulfilled. While the group gave all its members a platform, Beyoncé's solo career soared the most prominently. After their formal disbandment, each member pursued individual careers with varying degrees of success. Despite parting ways professionally, Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams have reunited for special performances over the years—most notably at the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show and the 2018 Coachella festival.

(Exclusive) Rekha Bhardwaj: Let's not call an item song a ghazal
Rekha Bhardwaj highlights the shift in focus towards instant success among youngsters, impacting the creation and use of ghazals in films. She notes the pressure to create viral hits often leads to the superficial inclusion of ghazals, sometimes mislabeled as item songs. Youngsters want instant success,' shares Rekha Bhardwaj , emphasising how even if a film includes a ghazal today, it's often just to create an instant hit. At the recently concluded ghazal festival Khazana in the city, the singer spoke about the power of live performances, how ghazals have evolved and why they must be treated with reverence. Excerpts: 'Youngsters want instant gratification and success, toh focus change hota hai' Rekha, who has lent her voice to songs like Phir Le Aaya Dil, Kabira and Genda Phool, among others, points out how the pursuit of virality creates pressure. She elaborates, 'Youngsters want instant gratification, instant success and instant appreciation... toh focus change hota hai. Even if they include ghazals in a film, they will only do so to ensure it becomes a hit. Ek ajeeb sa pressure hai ki gaana hit hona chahiye. Phir toh mushkil hai. There are filmmakers who have used a certain Sufi ghazal in their film, but it's actually an item song. Why don't they call it what it is? If you are making an actress do belly dance on a ghazal, then you should call it an item song.' While she dislikes the idea of using the term 'ghazal' loosely, she doesn't entirely condemn item songs. She explains, 'It's not wrong to have an item song because it's part of our culture — nautanki, kothe pe gaana bajana, it's all part of our culture. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mini House for 60 sqm for Seniors with Toilet and Bath (Price May Surprise You) Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo Let's take pride in that. There's nothing wrong with having such songs if the situation calls for it in the film.' 'Ghazal is a facet of love, romance and longing' Rekha feels that what sets ghazals apart is their emotional core. 'Ghazal ek poetry hai jise hum melody ke through express kartein hain. It's a facet of love, romance, longing and shringaar ras. Ghazals are eternal. The best thing is that youngsters are taking up this form, more in the interiors than the metros. But this genre needs more exposure.' 'Aaj ke ghazalon ka, qawaaliyon ka, rang badal raha hai ' The singer believes that there has been a generational shift in creative focus in movies and music. She says, 'Yes, there aren't many ghazals in film albums, but there are composers like Pritam, Vishal (Bhardwaj), who do include ghazals in their films. The only thing is that aaj kal ghazalon ka, qawaaliyon ka, rang badal raha hai, and ab aesthetics ke hisab se hota hai.' She adds, 'Youngsters apne exposure ke hisab se hi ghazal banayenge. If you take Urdu words from Google and put them in a ghazal, woh toh kam hi padega na.' "Youngsters want instant gratification, instant success and instant appreciation... toh focus change hota hai. Even if they include ghazals in a film, they will only do so to ensure it becomes a hit." - Rekha Bhardwaj
