LeToya Luckett Says Beyoncé ‘Created a Wonderful Space’ for the Destiny’s Child Reunion
The R&B star opened up about her recent reunion with the iconic girl group ahead of Urban One Honors on Saturday
The R&B star opened up about how the iconic girl group was able to reunite backstage when Beyoncé brought her Renaissance Tour to their hometown of Houston in September.
The singer/actress explains that fateful calls and texts helped to arrange the get-together — which put her and fellow founding members Beyoncé, LaTavia Roberson and Kelly Rowland, as well as Michelle Williams, in the same room for the first time in years — and that she is still feeling “blessed” by the entire experience.
“I’m so glad that [Beyoncé] created a wonderful space for us to all come together,” Luckett says.
“[The] love in the room was everything that I wanted it to be, thought it could be,” she shares. “It was what I wanted and always dreamed of. And I’m blessed to have even had that opportunity because there’s some people that’ll never get that.”
The “Torn” artist says that the “loving space” allowed for the “Say My Name” group to catch up, pray together, hug one another and “do our mama girl talk thing,” now that most of the singers have welcomed children of their own.
Luckett explains that it was heartwarming to see how far each member of the iconic Y2K group has come, and how much they’ve grown up since they were girls singing together in Houston. “Everybody’s just going on to do amazing things,” she says. “To also see everybody as moms and wives, we’ve grown up. We’re adults out here, it’s full-blown adulting going on.”
The star also spoke about how special it was to not just be in the same room with the founding members of the Grammy-winning group, but also Williams, 44, who joined the lineup in 2000 after Luckett and Roberson, both 42, left.
