LeToya Luckett Avoids Destiny’s Child Drama During Livestream
During an Instagram livestream with former manager Terrance Ross, he brought up the issue of radio stations being threatened for playing Luckett’s solo music. Ross didn’t name names, but Luckett was a member of Destiny’s Child before she was allegedly fired by Beyoncé’s dad, Mathew Knowles. According to Billboard, Knowles was the group’s manager at the time, and Luckett sued him over wrongful termination.
Ross claimed that radio stations received phone calls saying that if they played ‘Torn,’ they wouldn’t receive records from “this group anymore.”
“I can’t speak on that,” Luckett replied. ‘I’ll let you speak on that.”
“When your record went to radio,” Ross recalled. “There was a call put in that if you play that record, if you play that record, you won’t get no more records from this group.”
“But you know what? God be the glory,” said Luckett.
“That record fought through that,” he added. “There was a mandate called up to the radio stations.”
