‘Was it Worth it?’: Kelly Rowland Sends Fans Into a Frenzy by Revealing What She Has Done ‘For the D’

Kelly Rowland had social media in a frenzy when she revived interest in the popular #FortheD challenge by revealing her own secrets.

The “Destiny’s Child” group member reshared singer Erykah Badu’s infamous freestyle to the 2017 challenge on May 21. Along with the video Rowland shared the lengths she had gone in the past to get a next to a lover.

“Travel 20hrs, for an hr, just for the “D”… I’ve done it,” she wrote. 

When a fan asked, “was it worth it?,” Rowland simply responded, “Ask Tim,” making reference to her husband Tim Weatherspoon.

The “Motivation” singer married her manager in 2014. That same year the couple welcomed their first son, Titan Jewel, and in 2021 their second son, Noah Jon. 

“Was it worth it? She has 2 children with him hell yes it was lol!,” one fan wrote.

A second commented, “She married him. Winner!”

Another social media user questioned, “This was before or after motivation [laughing emoji],” making reference to Rowland’s sexy 2011 hit featuring rapper Lil Wayne. 

In recent weeks the UK “X Factor” judge has piqued fan adoration with her taboo tweets. Rowland shared the recent personal tidbit as part of her ongoing Friday #coffeewithkelly — which serves as a play on Rowland’s song “Coffee” where she sings about morning sex—conversations with fans on social media.

Rowland was also met with flak from social media users who felt the “Kisses Down Low” singer was pulling the veil from over matters not meant for the public. 

“Oh she wildin”

“She been on her freak s—t for a few weeks now”

“She is sharing too much of her personal business.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
