Kelly Rowland has enjoyed a storied career in the entertainment industry and at 39-years-old, she continues to power on as one of the greatest voices of her generation. The singer decided to show her followers the body that she is so proud to maintain, slipping out of her clothes and hopping in a strapless bikini to flaunt her goods.

Arguing that the picture is *not* a thirst trap, Kelly managed to still stop people in their tracks. In fact, she even attracted the attention of Rick Ross, who commented on the picture.

“Kelly future bright,” wrote the Miami legend with a shining star emoji. People have been responding to the rapper with laughing emojis, joking about how he spoke up and expressing how they’re unsure how this pairing would work.

In Ross’ defense, Kelly looks incredible in this shot. He was just letting her know and telling her that he believes in her. Did he fall for the (non) thirst trap? Yes. But he did so in a caring manner.

Recently, Ross showed off a fleet of new cars that were delivered to his house, including one military-ready Maybach. The rapper has been wrapped up in a lawsuit with his baby mama, who is suing him for paternity and child support.

Take a look at Kelly Rowland’s new picture above and Rick Ross’ comment below.

They’re celebrated as one of the greatest girl groups of all time, but not everyone loved Destiny’s Child. The popular trio delivered some of our favorite girl power anthems during their heyday, but back in 2001, the singers took to Hot 97‘s Summer Jam stage and were met with a roaring “boo” from the audience. At the time, the reception was disheartening, but Kelly Rowland told the radio station that they learned from the experience.

“It prepared us, because what was so interesting was like, around that time Destiny’s Child was crossing over, and because we were crossing over, I think that it was a question if we were still down or Black, or…you know what I mean?” said Kelly. “At that time we crossed over so that was just in question, which is ridiculous.” She added that the way the group looked at it, if they were switching lanes, they wanted to make sure their community was represented and came with them. However, it didn’t quite go down like that, initially.

“Before we went out there, it was that overwhelming loud ‘boo’ and it was…we were looking at each other like ‘Are we going to do this, are we going to go out here?’” Kelly added. “I saw the look in [Beyonce’s] eyes and I was like, ‘If she’s going out there I’m not letting her go out there by herself. Like, I’m going with her.’ And then it was like a trickle effect, and then we were out there, we were on the stage.” 

As soon as they performed their set, they ran off stage and got as far away from Summer Jam as they could.“I don’t think it was anything anybody could’ve told us at that time. Here we are at the height of our career and we are being praised everywhere except for in our neighborhood,” Kelly recalled. “In the space that first took us on and gave us so much love.”

The group realized that the experience is apart of growing as artists and comes with success, so they chose not to dwell on the negatives. Watch Kelly Rowland chop it up with Hot 97 below.

Once again, Queen Bey’s 8-year old daughter Blue Ivy shows that she’s in charge.  

In a short video uploaded to Tina Knowles’ Instagram page, Beyonce’s mother and old bandmate Kelly Rowland wished a Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful mothers out there. Then, an anonymous and adorable voice in the back can be heard saying, “And don’t forget all the beautiful daughters out there…which I am one of!” 

This Mother’s Day upload by Tina comes following a shoutout from daughter Beyonce on the “Savage” remix. In a recent conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Tina commented on their adorable relationship, sharing, “That was really, really cute. People started texting me [saying,] ‘Ok, savage,’ and I was like, ‘What are they talking about?’”

While Jay Z and Beyonce’s eldest daughter doesn’t actually make an appearance in the short clip, the Beyhive speculated that the voice belongs to none other than Blue Ivy herself. Blue continues to live up to the boss-like persona attached to her by the Beyhive, with one Twitter user saying, “Blue Ivy won’t ever take her foot off their necks, she needs to be a voice actor. She is animated just like Dora.”

We’re finding out quite a bit about Kelly Rowland. The Destiny’s Child icon married Tim Weatherspoon in 2014, and they’ve maintained a relatively private family life with their young son, Titan Weatherspoon. During this quarantine, the world has seen a different side of Kelly after she’s discussed her bedroom kinks with her friends on social media. While talking about her marriage with PEOPLE, Kelly Rowland revealed how she keeps her sex life with her husband interesting as years go on.

“As far as sex is concerned, I’m like, ‘Well, if I have to play dress up and do role-play, honey, if I need to be Alicia tonight and give you a surprise in the middle of the night or something then it needs to happen. We spice things up a bit and keep it fun,” she said. “When we met each other, we had fun. Two years from now, we’ll have fun. I think if you hold that close to you, it can always show itself in your relationship.”

She also spoke about working through difficulties in her relationship. “Before I was married, I was like, ‘Well, if it doesn’t work, you just get a divorce,” she said. “[But now,] that’s not an option for me. That’s not an option for me because I know I have a good man. I know I have someone that loves me unconditionally and we’re gonna sort this thing out, we’re gonna figure it out. Above anything, we’ve got faith and we’ve got each other. Marriage means a lot to me. It’s something that I hold very sacred.”

Considering she’s a Destiny’s Child icon, it seems only fitting that Kelly Rowland would be apart of the Roc Nation family. Her lifelong personal and professional relationship with best friend and “sister” Beyoncé is well-known, so many assumed that she would partner her business with Knowles-Carters. However, that wasn’t the case…until now. In an interview with The Associated Press, Kelly Rowland briefly mentions her new management deal with Roc Nation and talks at end about her latest single “Coffee” along with her forthcoming project.

“I’m very excited about this album. I’m excited for the fact that the years that it took me to find tempo,” Kelly told AP. “The whole album’s not up-tempo, but I’m excited to share my tempo. I feel like I always had mids and slower records but yeah, I’m ready to dance. Especially when we come out of all this, we need to dance.” She also added that the album is almost finished, but she just needs to squeeze in one more song.

Kelly Rowland also mentioned that she’s an independent artist, and AP wanted to know if the project was going to be released through Roc Nation. The singer stated that Roc Nation was her management company and that it was a new deal. “It’s family and it just happened. It just really happened to work and it’s working out really well so far,” Kelly added. “My team, I have a great team. It’s not to say I didn’t have a great team before, I had a great team before. You evolve, you move on and that’s really it and Roc Nation is home now.”

The quarantine may have slowed down the release of Kelly’s record, but she promises that it will be delivered this year. Are you looking forward to more from Kelly Rowland?

This quarantine has Kelly Rowland letting her freak flag. The “Coffee” singer has been spending time with a few of her friends on Instagram as they dish a bit of girl talk on Live. Fans have tuned in to watch the Destiny’s Child icon talk about her life, especially her sexual escapades in the bedroom. Days ago, she and bestie Lala Anthony chatted about their favorite sex positions. “I’m a f*cking rider,” Kelly revealed.

Recently, Kelly Rowland popped up on Live in a split-screen with KeKe Palmer. The two talked all about sex and Kelly wanted to know what curiosities KeKe had about intercourse before losing her virginity. “I’ll be honest, and this is gonna sound so stupid to everybody that’s watching but I think a lot of people have this question,” KeKe said. “I didn’t understand penetration because I had never had sex.” KeKe laughed at herself for even saying it out loud. “I didn’t understand that penises got hard ’cause I never seen one. So, before sex, I just kept wondering, how do people have sex? The penis is just flat.”

Kelly couldn’t help but laugh at KeKe, but the talk show host didn’t seem to mind as she chuckled at herself, as well. Check out KeKe revealing her childhood confusion below and let us know if you can relate.

For those of you who are regular Instagram users, you’ve probably noticed that there has been an influx of Live sessions. People are passing the time by live-streaming any and everything, including celebrities who are chatting with one another social media. Last week, Lala Anthony and one of her best friends, Kelly Rowland, shared a screen and the singer talked about her favorite sex toys. The pair of besties have returned but this time they both discussed their kinks and what they like to do in the bedroom.

“Hit it from the back or missionary?” Kelly asked Lala. “Um, so wait. Is that a question for me or is that a question for everybody watching?” Lala answered. The “Coffee” singer replied with a laugh, “Either or, darling.” Lala gave an answer and said, “Hit it from the back. I think that missionary is, and can be, boring as hell and I think if you only do missionary then I’m going to consider you a very lazy person. It’s the easy way out. Flip that thing round, now we talkin’.”

Then, someone in the comments wrote that they prefer “from the side” as a sex position option. Kelly Rowland enthusiastically agreed and said, “Just the thought of it is…that’s great.” The singer added that she’s a “ride or die chick,” insinuating that she likes to be on top during sex. “I’m a f*cking rider,” Kelly added. Check out these two laughing their way through the sex position talk below.

She’s not one to share too much about her personal life, but we learned a little bit more about Kelly Rowland on Wednesday (April 8). The private Destiny’s Child singer keeps much about her marriage and home life under wraps, so it was surprising to hear her speak candidly about a few of her favorite sex toys. This COVID-19 pandemic has us all quarantined at home, so many celebrities are coming up with ways to keep fans entertained all the while escaping boredom themselves. Kelly Rowland linked up with her good friend LaLa Anthony on Instagram Live and during their casual conversation, the topic of bedroom toys came up.

Kelly’s immediate interest had LaLa chugging Ciroc out of the bottle. After Kelly admitted that she’d “already had four” drinks herself, she mentioned one toy that has seemed to treat her right. “You know the little rings that goes around…,” Kelly said as she trailed off while making an “O” shape with her finger. You can use your imagination to figure out what she was talking about. “That’s so nice.”

LaLa mentioned that someone in the comments said that men aren’t open to using sex toys in the bedroom because they don’t want to accept that a woman can handle business without them. “You can always have a warmup, a brief warmup,” Kelly added. “And then have them watch your brief warmup and then have them join you.”

LaLa couldn’t help but laugh at her friend’s honesty before telling her, “You’re a freak.” Watch Kelly Rowland talk about her kinks below.

These are strange days we’re currently living in, and people are making the most of their time in isolation. The world may be under a COVID-19 quarantine, but people are entertaining themselves, and others, by sharing funny videos to social media. Since she had a few hours to spare, Shantel Jackson, the girlfriend of rapper Nelly, dressed up as her beau and recreated his look from the music video to his hit single “Dilemma.”

The song featured Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland who has been playfully criticized over the years for sending Nelly a text in the visual that looked to be from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Shantel fitted herself to mimick her man and lip-synced his lyrics into the camera. Her friends commented laughing emojis, including Porsha Williams and Tamar Braxton.

One of her followers said she looked more like a DeBarge than Nelly, but Somaya Reece told Shantel that her impression was spot on. “First of all, your eyebrows are perfect. Second, you got your man down to the hand gestures ???????,” she wrote. Check out Shantel Jackson impersonating her boyfriend Nelly and let us know how you think she did.
