Kelly has always been Beyonce's cheerleader. This comment isn't shady in any form; I'm just acknowledging that Kelly made certain to compliment Beyonce in every interview back then.

[@JC-gq2lo]

They were all told to verbally compliment Beyonce.......Kelly was the only one that listen........that's part of the reason Latavia & Latoya was kicked out..........The Rabbit Hole is DEEP with this group

[@obamatherealdeal08]

@@JC-gq2lo Thats just ridiculous!!! There is nothing wrong with admiring another black womans talent! She was able to experience her friends greatness up front and there's absolutely nothing wrong with what Kelly said! Still to this day Kelly always compliment all the girls... shes just a non-confrontational type of chic. You can tell she was raised well and has a really good heart! She still talks about how much she learns from her inner circle from Lala, Beyonce, Serena, etc....

[@JC-gq2lo]

@@obamatherealdeal08 did I say it was something wrong with admiring another or did you interpret that I did ? Kelly was a YES MAN

[@obamatherealdeal08]

@@JC-gq2lo Everyone has an opinion looking from the outside but you don't know what was going on! Call Kelly a Yes man if you want but sis became a multi-millionaire and an icon for doing so! Years later still relevant as ever, and still rich making millions!!! I betcha those other 2 girls look back and they regret the decisions they made! When DC get back together & tour one day it's probably will be their biggest tour ever those women are gonna make hundreds of millions! So & the end Kelly played her cards right!!!!

They all wanted to stay together. They’ve ALL said on multiple occasions that they’ve never had a probably each other.

[@pritpala]

NO. Kelly, especially in this interview is heavily sucking up to Beyonce as if her life depends on it. She's clearly telling the other girls and everyone that we girls are kinda hanging on Beyonce's coattails as she boldly says "cause Beyonce hooked it uppp" and menting twice that she produced the whole thing meaning that she was the backbone. Seemed like the brainwashing from Mathew as she was basically their adopted daughter (or atleast close to it). So no. There is no way in hell you can say Kelly was the bridge in fact I kind of see her as the fire starter.

[@Emma-qh1id]

no, she is a strong beyonce follower - in fact she may be even scared of her

[@w3irdcreativetanner773]

Yes and they broke up 6 months laters.

[@brittneysperspective8433]

This was the end here. Its known that one of beyonces current pet peeves is for her employees who constantly complain about their job. Beyonce was over it. The other two were clearly burnt out. (And probably rightfully so. They were teenagers and felt over worked) but beyonce is a workaholic and wanted to keep going. Not to mention, her whole family was with her. They were away from their families. They had to break up. Sucks, because they complimented each other well. They never missed a step. *cough* Michelle.

[@Musicblue22]

The tension here boy was thick you can tell beyonce was over Toya complaining, Latavia just looked tired and ready to go home kelly once again all up in beyonce ass and anyone catch her awkward laugh like when letoya started talking more or less to push her point i know they got to arguing once the cameras went off but this was all Matthews fault tho he should've have been more diplomatic to everyone in the group You could see the divide here but I'm glad all of them have moved past this and are on am better accord now.

Kandi was the lead writer on Bills, Bug A Boo and a few others but they did co-write with her. Kandi said she strategically wouldn't write the whole song herself because artists like to collaborate and if they had a hand in writing it, there would be better chance that they would like it and it would end up on the album. Her strategically worked.

[@dominiquedevereux7205]

I wonder what happened in the short time between this interview & when they were fired. Beyonce lookin "over" pretending things are fine in this video. There was a Black British girl group (well, they had 1 white girl in the beginning but she left after the 1st album 2 ✌🏾pursue a solo career, ✌🏾 though the 1st album was a hit)--- ETERNAL that came out in '90 I think, and the group went down from 4 to 3 members after the 1st album, and 2 of the members, including the lead singer were sisters. Kelly was legally adopted by the Knowles after so many years, so technically she and Beyoncé are sisters. Anyway, after the 3rd album, the 3rd non-related member of the group was fired by FAX 🖨!! Letoya & Latavia found out they were fired when they SAW 👀 the video for "Say My Name" with Farrah & Michelle who had obviously been hired 2 replace them!! It's weird how their story parallels DC in that way.

[@arganiaspinosa9122]

Good for you, not afraid to announce to the world that you are an idiot with that comment. You do something CONSISTENTLY for 35 YEARS, pretty much since the age of 7 you might excel at it too. Bey's stay putting out albums and going on tours, she barely ever slows down other than to have her kids. She do not need to "sacrifice" for shit, she just does something you may never have heard of; HARD WORK. She worked her ass off and has been able to earn 32 Grammys, which is more than any other living singer. All the other girls were wishy washy with their careers, they put out music here and there, which y'all never buy. None of them has Bey's work ethic, even Kelly admitted that on camera a few years ago.

[@thesecondYouTube]

When you stop sniffing her asshole and start using common sense, spirituality and observation skills it will be an amazing thing.
