Le Toya Luckett, the  Houston singer with the Texan accent, made a name for herself as a Destinys Child Member of the original group. One of their all time classics was the cult hit, NO, NO, NO.  Can’t believe my tape still works. Yes, I got my cassette tape back in the day when the Wiz was open.

 As soon as the groups 1st album landed at No.1, the former members split up and  were replaced with Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland. I have met them all, but Kelly is the nicest of the bunch because she wanted a copy of Literary Divas.Destinys Child took off with several hit albums resulting in  more cult hits like “Survivor.”  The group seemed to have found an everlasting formula for success, but that ended when Beyonce’ Knowles took off on a solo career.  Destinys Child as in singular was destined and that child was Beyonce’. A modern day success story whom no one can take away her talent and contribution to the music industry from day one.

With talent shared  among all members like Le Toya Luckett, Michelle Williams, Kelly Rowland and Beyonce Knowles, explosve rumors circulated in media that top DJs were paid to not play music from departed artist, LeToya Luckett by Beyonce’s manager, Matthew Knowles. A bonafide TOP 5 album nationwide, LeToya Luckett has not been getting  spins on air waves as expected and now folks are not only pointing the finger, but want answers. Payola is a federal crime punishable by imprisonment. B.E.T. uses a vote on procedure as most media to refer an artist on their popular BET 106& Park Countdown site, but as quickly as the song aired it seemed to disappear.

The question is, has media conglomerated to the point where no other artist can venture to the top unless controlled by the industry. I sort of feel sorry for Beyonce’ who millions of her hard working dollars go to her father by an original contract and has to go along with her father who yes, was instrumental in launching Beyonce’s talent, but whom you can’t blame for not taking sides with LeToya whose communication was cut off abruptly from Beyonce’. 

 A child is going to stick by their parent’s wishes. Beyonce’ may be a millionaire on her way to being a billionaire with hubby Jay Z, but she never really attended higher education, so Dad is the brain of her business transactions and still is. There is nothing wrong with skipping the school thing and gaining wisdom with life lessons if your talent brings you more wealth than it would have had you attended college.  It’s a story we all know too well where girl groups rise to the top and as one becomes the  bigger attraction, the other members who quickly exert their talent are shunned from shining or dropped. Two chiefs can’t run the show.

Now that we all know that Le Toya Luckett can sing, she was able to acquire her own H-Town Reality TV Show  where she gets to tell her side of the story. Perhaps, LeToya’s part in Destiny’s Child is much bigger than what folks thought because she hasn’t stopped her journey for a minute as evidenced by the footage from her reality tv series.  This by no means takes away from Beyonce, a sweet soul who has the right to protect her territory.

After all, her vocals are much stronger than Le Toya’s, but the chick has got a lot of hits hiding in her album not being spun on air waves. When former members sued and won when they were fired from the group, it was evident that someone like Le Toya, a truly   instrumental member was a  bigger threat. She went on to do her thing and not bother anyone, but something is wrong with the fairytale where former sisters by trade are supposed to all succeed and live happily after. This artist’s  fair game for airwaves success has been denied. This isn’t helping with Beyonce’s popularity who would have to pay dearly to get out of a contract with her father.

Now  rumors have surfaced that Tina Knowles wants a divorce after reports surfaced that Matthew Knowles may have impregnated a 30 something women suing him for child support. She stands to earn a vast portion of his revenue of over 120 million dollars combined with his wife, Tina Knowles, who also has her own clothing line. By divorcing Matthew Knowles she clearly can bow out gracefully and get her share too now that the offense has been committed, but Beyonce still has to literally work her butt off to make profit over earnings of which a portion goes to Matthew Knowles for all her deals. She is leaning on a 300 dollar deal to perform in Los Vegas most frequented as a tourist home for foreigners and vacationers who like to gamble. To make all of that money in location is bananas . 

 It would be wise to have some accompaniment of old group members like Le Toya Luckett who is working hard and is owed a piece of the Destiny’s Child pie that her fans won’t let live down. After all it is the destiny of  each group member to reunite and Beyonce can make that happen despite her shrewd father who make s the Motown Era look like a fairytale compared to his empire today that brings more drama then media getting paid to brush it all off care to know. Here are some of the footage and videos from Le Toya’s H-Town Reality Tv Series. I don’t know why I am listening to Beyonce’s Sweet Dreams single right now on my computer. Must be a coincidence.
