Interest in the series came last year after a clip of an old pilot featuring 3LW’s Kiely Williams and Farrah Franklin, who was apart of Destiny’s Child for 6 months after joining in 2000 along with Michelle Williams.
From there, BET noticed the clips attention it was getting, and gave the green light for a full season. It’s no doubt the women on the show are all talented and will sure make for a good season.
