LeToya Nicole Luckett (born March 11, 1981, in Houston, Texas) is an American singer and actor. Luckett was a founding member of the R&B/Pop Girl Group Destiny's Child, but left in 2000 along with LaTavia Roberson in a highly publicized split due to issues with management. Luckett later embarked on a solo career with her first solo album LeToya in 2006, which was a success on the R&B charts and along with Beyoncé, they would be the only Destiny's Child members to have number one debut albums.
Luckett is also an actor, having appeared in the film Killers and starring in the series Single Ladies.
And if you're wondering, she and the other Destiny's Child members have patched up things.
