They remain one of the leading girl groups in the history of music and fans have been begging Destiny’s Child to church out one last hoorah.

Ir doesn’t look like that will be happening anytime soon, but Tank recently sat down with Drink Champs, and during his extensive interview, he praised Rowland’s talents.
When we often think of Destiny’s Child, audiences typically highlight Beyoncé’s vocals, but Tank, who has previously collaborated with Rowland, believes that Kelly gets the short end of the stick.
