ON DESTINY'S CHILD: "We built a very strong relationship over the years," says Toya, who has since gone solo. The girls struck gold in 1998 with the single, "No, No, No" featuring Wyclef and by opening for acts like TLC and a fresh-faced Christina Aguilera. The Writing's on the Wall blew up with songs like "Say my Name", "Jumpin' Jumpin'" and "Bills, Bills, Bills" and earned the DC ladies one of the best-selling albums by a female group, going eight-times platinum."We knew what our role was from the beginning", says LeToya. "It was always about Beyonce singing lead, but we were happy to have the opporunity we had and we had so much fun together [so] there was never any resentment." LeToya and LaTavia were replaced by two members in the "Say My Name" video and sued manager (and Beyonce's dad) Matthew Knowles. "I don't have her number or anything but we're cool," says LeToya of former bandmate Beyonce. "Anytime I see her back home we are very friendly." As for the followers of LeToya's solo career (her self-titled album debuted at #1 this fall), she says it's a mix of the old DC followers and new fans as well. "I appreciate my fans and everyone who stuck by me with everything I went through," says LeToya.
ON FASHION:"I'm more into fashion than I was before, and I have grown into it." ON LIFE AFTER A GIRL GROUP: "Hell yeah! If you're talented and have that certain something, you're gonna make it on your own just as much as you did in a group, maybe even more, I love being solo because I get to experience different things by myself and express myself."
