T-Boz Sounds Off On Destiny’s Child

Finally, someone’s coming out and just SAYING it, already! T-Boz, headliner of now-defunct girl group TLC, was asked by AOL BlackVoices about the Kelly Rowland/Matthew Knowles paternity rumor, and what she had to say seems to have been on a lot of minds these days. T-Boz, born Tionne Watkins, told BV,

They get mad when I say this, but I don’t give a damn. It was all about Beyonce anyway. She was my favorite, too, but come on. Her parents are over everything. Who do you think they were going for? It’s always Beyonce. It was supposed to be exactly the way it is now, Bey is on top. I love Beyonce, and I am a fan of hers. She was my favorite in the group even before they were Destiny’s Child and they were the Baby Dolls. She was so cute and pretty. I like all of them, and I wish Kelly the best. When you’re in a girl group, you have differences, and you have to learn how to respectfully agree to disagree. There are a lot of things that happen behind the scenes that people don’t know about. Some girl groups have girls trying to steal other girls’ boyfriends and that’s the ultimate no-no. You have situations like the Kelly thing and Beyonce’s parents. You can say that I’m out for everybody, but if Lisa was to bring somebody in that’s her boyfriend, then I’m gonna feel like you got Lisa’s back more than mine, and that’s gonna be a no-no. I just think that brings a conflict of interest in the beginning. That would have been a hard group for me to be in, because I would have been like your mommy and daddy are running things and they’re gonna have you at heart the most. That’s just how I feel.

Do you agree with what Watkins has to say about parent-daughter preference? Let us know!

Could THIS be why Kelly was dropped from her label?
