No Longer a Child of Destiny

Le Toya at 16

Born and raised in Houston, Texas on March 11, 1981 to an African American father and her mother African American and Native American descent. This girl had talent and passion for music and befriended Beyonce' Knowles, Kelendria "Kelly" Rowland, and Latavia Roberson they formed a girl group called Girls Tyme later changed the name to Destiny's Child and their first hit in 1997 with No, No, No Part 2. By 1999 the love and friendship the girls had fizzled due to compensation issues with royalties.  Who is this woman?
Le Toya Luckett she just turned 30 on Friday.

In 2006 she reentered the music scene and her released her solo debut Le Toya which spawned the hit singles Torn, She Don't and Obvious. She is only former member of Destiny's Child besides Beyonce' to have a #1 album. Let me say it I love LeToya's music I purchased both albums the girl is good. In 2009 she followed up the success of her debut album with Lady Love released in March 2009 she had more hits with songs like Not Anymore, She Ain't Got Shit On Me, and Regret feat. Ludacris. Outside of the music world Le Toya has her own boutique clothing store in her hometown Houston, starred in the film Preacher's Kid, appeared in Killers, finished filming the movie From the Rough, and has recently been casted in the HBO drama series Treme. She even landed an endorsement with Olive Oil Relaxer products so that is another thing to add to her resume also she used to date rapper Slim Thug.

For those who don't know the whole story behind the Destiny's Child drama and if the ladies even reconciled I will fill you in. Before the ladies of Destiny's Child even signed  a record label contract manager Matthew Knowles wanted the girls to sign a contract for him not a label contract. Luckkett's mother disagreed and requested an attorney  see the contract Knowles ignored the request but Le Toya still signed with him.

As for the beef in an interview back in 2006 Le Toya said she was never really upset with Kelly and Beyonce' she was upset with Beyonce's father Matthew yet she said she understood why Beyonce' and Kelly became defensive. She also went on to say that she Beyonce' and Kelly have settled their differences and still love one another she even attended Destiny's Child's last few concert. Also Kelly comes by her boutique and sells Beyonce's House of Dereon clothing in her store. That's about all I know but it is unfortunate when money comes between family and friends and I am glad Le Toya is doing her thing. I mean after all when you turn 30 a light of maturity should come to your life.
