Kelly Rowland is not interested in pitting her new girl group against any other girl groups — there’s room for everyone!
Earlier this week, former Destiny’s Child manager Mathew Knowles publicly challenged Kelly and her group to a “group off” with his new girl group Blushhh during a video interview with The Tom Joyner Morning Show.
In the clip, which has since made its way around the internet, Mathew speaks briefly on Kelly’s show Chasing Destiny before going on to put the challenge on the table.
Mathew Knowles Challenges Kelly Rowland & Her New Girl Group to a ‘Group Off’
Kelly recently appeared on Hollywood Today Live with her new group to chat about the show and when the topic of Mathew’s challenge came up, she was ready with an answer.
“I don’t really give it any energy, to be honest,” she told hosts Garcelle Beauvais and Ross Mathews. “I feel like there’s space for everybody. I don’t feel the need to do that. I’m just so happy for my ladies, for his ladies and, you know, there’s room for everybody.”
Kelly also revealed during the quick sitdown that her new group doesn’t quite have an official name just yet, but she says she wants it to be something the girls themselves can be proud of and come up with together.
