I never knew Chaka Kahn had a daughter.

[@TheFelishagay]

I thought she only had a son.

[@dominiquedevereux7205]

I knew her daughter but I never knew she was ever in a group 😳. I thought she just sang back up for her mama sometimes.

[@DP-pj7qn]

Wow they were so young and you can tell which one is her daughter

[@Mr.ConstitutitionalAuditor]

Yo where they at now?

[@retrorhythms]

I reached out to several of them via social media after posting this. Milini is the only one who responded.

[@Mr.ConstitutitionalAuditor]

@@retrorhythms that sucks call them all again, leave a voicemail or somethin, I want a reunion performance 😐

Girl groups are NOTORIOUS for falling apart faster than boy groups. Backstreet Boys are still around, New Edition (all SIX!!), Boyz II Men, Silk, H-Town, 98 Degrees, All 4 One, are all still around in some capacity. Name 5 female groups that are still active in any capacity besides TLC, SWV, and maybe Excape.

[@jrb175]

Envogue are still active.

[@blackdragon6]

@@jrb175 not the original line up. But fair point.

[@ertfgghhhh]

How was she a child and not involve her mom?

[@saltwatercb]

Exactly. Such baloney. Like we're supposed to believe she did it all on her own at the age of 14? Puh-lease.

[@sherrygrant317]

Chaka's daughter got pregnant and left the group

[@sherryrene6809]

Maybe they could reunite they career was very short lived I didn't even know any of there songs.

[@Onlythetruth247]

I've never heard of them. I remember the movie though.

[@ebonyrushharrington2197]

Me neither

[@damienchance2622]

Dam.. I wonder what happened to them??

[@BlaydeAlabama]

Chaka daughter got pregnant

[@saltwatercb]

Donnie: "I hope you'll be bigger than New Edition...in weeks to come, we'll be looking back, saying 'Can you believe what happened to these girls? They're huge.'" If you've seen Chaka's daughter lately you'll know his prediction about size was right on target.

[@PlanetMeMeTV]

I’m I crazy for wanting a jacket in 2022? 😂I love this group.

[@a.k.a.theruggedmanchild9685]

does anybody has a video of them on soul train

[@BlaydeAlabama]

Had no clue they made it to the train

[@Mxyzptlk_Lives]

Tammy Coleman? Isn't that Chaka's sister and Milini's aunt?

[@seanlewis1148]

Yup

[@jdfodio]

...but Milini "did it on her own". lol

[@saltwatercb]

@@jdfodio What she did manage to do on her own was get pregnant less than a year after this video, essentially ending her career in the process. Such drive and initiative!

[@fuhyou3223]

Motown picked THEE WACKEST singles to release from this album!! They could have gone with Home By Midnight, I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend, or even Testin My Love. Just horrific promotion all around and they could SING.

[@retrorhythms]

Unfortunately, Motown did a poor job promoting the majority of its acts from the mid/late '80s to the mid-'90s. There were of course a few exceptions; but I think, in the case of Boyz II Men and Another Bad Creation as examples, there was a lot of momentum from Michael Bivins' involvement and that once those groups started to take off, Motown really invested. But there are dozens of talented acts that never got off the ground with minimal investment and product pretty much just thrown out there: Nikita, La La, Ada Dyer, Colin England, Magic Lady, and Angela Cole, to name just a handful. It's no wonder that El DeBarge and Smokey Robinson left the label during this time period.

[@vonnii1013]

This group could have took off

[@jdfodio]

1991 Chaka: "...at least as big as New Edition...this industry is like a circus..." 2012 Chaka [speaking on Whitney's death]: "This industry is demonic." So why did you want your daughter to be successful in it, Chaka?! @7:45 - God will keep them together? God is who broke them up to keep them alive! Mark 8:34-37 - Then, calling the crowd to join His disciples, [Jesus] said, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?Is anything worth more than your soul?

[@priscillawilson9703]

From 1991 to 2012?? Obviously none of them had the life & industry experience that time bought them. I believe Both Ms. Khan's have learned quite a bit since then.
