Career

She appeared in “Say My Name” and provided background vocals for “Independent Women Part I,” but departed after five months amid health issues and management tensions.

Post-Destiny’s Child, she pursued solo R&B with singles like “Lolli Pop” (2007) and “Push Up On Me” (2020), collaborated with Method Man and Sean Paul, and acted in films such as Trippin’ (2001), The Brewster Project (2004), and Single Black Female (2022), plus TV like All of Us.
