During a chat with one of her fans on Sunday, she was posed with the question of how she continued pursuing her career after her time was up with Destiny’s Child. Luckett said the moment affected her self-esteem as well as her finances, “I’m not gonna lie to you, after DC I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I was about 18-years-old, I hadn’t lived as a normal teenager, I hadn’t gone to college. Even coming out of that, I wasn’t the most secure person because I was so used to having a ‘team’ mentality to think of going out on my own was terrifying. The thought of singing made me angry. I didn’t believe I had a voice, I didn’t believe I could sing, I didn’t believe I could return to the music industry. Make a long story short, after surrendering and getting to know God on a whole ‘nother level…I learned to surrender, get out of my own way, stop living in fear and allow Him to direct my path.”
She also spoke about her experience being homeless while working on her debut album: “During my journey I was staying at people’s house, I never told these stories before…I slept in a car in L.A. while I was making my first album. Not a lot of nights, but you know what I’m saying? I was drinking a gallon of water and buying the microwavable oodles of noodles.”
Although she started to cry while recalling the ordeal, Luckett continued to tell her story and connected with more of her fans.
