What Happened To R&B Group Dru Hill? | Why Did Woody Quit?, Sisqo's Ego, Where Did All The Money Go?

Woody, Jazz, Nokio and Sisqo. They are the four men from the same city that came together to make up one of the best R&B groups to come out of the ‘90s, Dru Hill. Their story began with shutting down local talent shows and evolved into a very successful run full of platinum albums and top placements on the charts. Issues with their management as well as each other though, would tear them apart and leave fans wondering if things would ever be the same again.

Just that it wasn't long at all , it was very short. It was like a compilation of every song they ever did first verse and then the last part of the song. And it was just their show so no one opened up for them they have plenty of time to sing full-length versions of their songs and they didn't do it. It really could have been better.

Collectively we saw great things but individually I think they knew they weren't going to last. When they started arguing and/or fighting it's a wrap. Sisqo shoulda been solo and Jazz too. Those 2 men didn't belong in a group at all(to me). You saw he sang lead.

[@ericabatts4467]

A few key points was missed: SisQó also came out with a 3rd album called last dragon. In 2017 (i believe) they came out with a christmas album called Christmas in baltimore. First single called my favorite time of year.And along with Jazz' departure in 2018 Tao left to pursue his solo career with a single called whatever happened to love. When covid shut the world down in 2020, SisQó, smoke, and black featuring the manager Mr Peck had a KZbin podcast that aired twice a week at 2pm called SisQó live. And for the record Nokio didn't leave the group he just took some time off to reset.... you can catch up with the rest of US day one fans, family and members themselves on various dru hill fan pages on facebook where we keep u informed on what's happening and concerts and appearances. ❤
