LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson left Destiny's Child in February 2000, filing a lawsuit the following month against Kelly Rowland and leader Beyoncé Knowles as well as the group's manager, Mathew Knowles (Beyoncé's father.) They reached an amicable settlement with their former bandmates in December, but are still suing the elder Knowles.

In December 1999, Roberson and Luckett attempted to split with manager Mathew Knowles, charging that he kept a disproportionate share of the band's profits, attempted to exert too much control, and unfairly favored his daughter and niece. While they never intended to leave the group, relations naturally grew strained, and when the video for "Say My Name" premiered in February 2000, many fans (not to mention Roberson and Luckett) were surprised to find two new members — Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin — joining Knowles and Rowland. Infuriated, Roberson and Luckett took legal action in March, suing both Knowles and their former bandmates for breach of partnership and fiduciary duties.
