Latavia [formerly 1/4 of Destiny Child] and Meelah [1/3 of R&B group 702] graces the cover of ‘Be‘ Magazine latest issue. Both women are the newly joined cast on TVone‘R&B Divas’ show reality show.
The two shed light on their new reality gigs, and talk little about how their friendship blossomed after meeting in church in Atlanta [where the two live] and the ‘tea’ on what caused their absence from two major pop groups.
Latavia on Destiny’s Child:
” Honestly, working with Destiny Child was one of the greatest things to have ever happened. I would never want to take that journey out of my life, for it has made me the person that I am today.
I genuinely like good music and I love them [Beyonce, Kelly, and Latoya]. The situation had nothing to do with us, so I support them the the fullest. “
Meelah On 702 Break-up:
” I haven’t spoken to them, and I don’t know how they’re going to feel. Hopefully they will be supportive. There’s no beef or anything.
I think they will acknowledge the fact that I did not thrown anyone under the bus or I did not give the real tea about what happened. ”
On Their [Meelah and Latavia] friendship and working together on R&B Divas]
Latavia: ” The first time I met Meelak and 702 was at rehearsal when I was with Destiny’s Child, since then I’ve ran into Meelah at a few engagements. However, there was one particular time that I can recall running into her.
I was attending a church service and this was during the time in which my situation with Destiny’s Child had happened. I guess it was her situation at the moment too, and she was knelt at the alter. So I went to her and prayed with her. “
Meelah: ” I was so happy [finding out she was joining]. It made this opportunity even better. We go way back, from the 702 and Destiny’s Child days. We got this dramatic story about how we met at church, and I fell in love with her. ”
Latavia and Meelah still got it. Be sure to pick up a copy of Be magazine [out now] and watch the two on R&B Divas [which airs on Wednesday at 10pm est].
