This season Vh1’s highly rated scripted series Single Ladies welcomes former Destiny’s Child member and recording artist LeToya Luckett to the cast.

Luckett stars in the series as Felicia Price, Atlanta’s most powerful and ruthless music manager who rules her company and the music industry with an iron fist.

The 32-year-old Grammy winner is also set to release her first album in over 4 years later this year.

Fans of Luckett can follow her journey back to music and more on her web-series called Life, Love & Music.

In an interview with theGrio’s Chris Witherspoon, Luckett talked about her reconciliation with former Destiny’s Child members and opened up about her first time meeting Beyoncé.

Luckett says she attended grade school with Beyoncé and met the “Partition” singer on her first day of school, when she happened to be sitting in her assigned seat.

“I got to school, and we had assigned seating,” Luckett recalled. “I came into class and she’s [Beyoncé] sitting in my seat. And I was like ‘Mrs. Western, get your girl, because she’s definitely in my seat right now.’”

“We became the best of friends and went to high school together. I was like her low-key bodyguard. Nobody knows that though. I was her protector.”

Tune into season 3 of Vh1’s Single Ladies Mondays at 9/8c.
