Destiny’s Child is one of the greatest groups to ever create music, male or female. To this day their timeless catalog of hits can set off any mood ranging from chilling with a nice glass of wine or turning up when it’s party time. And though the lineup changed over the years two of the main members have always been singers/best friends Kelly Rowland and Beyonce Knowles-Carter. They’ve both accomplished so much over their twenty plus year careers, which started when they were both young girls in Houston, Texas. However Kelly has had to deal with comparisons to Beyonce for years. And though she normally remains quiet, she is speaking up on how she truly feels.
Success And Friendship
Beyonce and Kelly have been friends since childhood and began performing together under the name Girls Tyme when they were teenagers. After the first version of the group formed they eventually settled on the name Destiny’s Child and rose to international superstardom. Now as individual artists both Kelly and Beyonce have achieved great success, though many tend to think of Destiny’s Child as Beyonce’ featuring Kelly and Michelle as opposed to an entire group. In a 2016 interview during a segment on Chicago WGN-TV while Kelly was referring to a project she was working on for BET Chasing Destiny questions began to refer to Beyonce’s now iconic release Lemonade. And although her response was polite it’s clear Kelly wasn’t there for any of it. (around the 1:50 mark)
Constantly being reminded of your friend’s success while you’re trying to establish your own thing must be annoying. However, Kelly has found a way to deal with it.
