H.E.R. Was Almost In A Band With These Two Stars
Yes, you're reading that headline correctly. Can you imagine H.E.R., Zendaya, and Kehlani in a girl group together? The ladies were almost part of a super group together, according to H.E.R. During an interview with Carlos Watson on "The Carlos Watson Show," the singer revealed details about her former group, Poplyfe. "Dylan Wiggins – who is D'wayne Wiggins's son from Tony! Toni! Toné! – we used to be in a band together," H.E.R. said (via Revolt). "We used to perform together when we were really young. Kehlani was actually in our band. We all used to sing together. Zendaya was going to be in it at one point. They all grew up together. I came into the picture in Oakland and we used to perform together."
Poplyfe was a contestant on season 6 of America's Got Talent. The Oakland-based group finished fourth place in the talent competition. The group disbanded in 2012, with some of the members going their separate ways. Kehlani stayed in the group, Zendaya went on to act in Disney's "Shake It Up," and H.E.R. continued pursuing music. H.E.R. also spoke about performing with Kehlani during a 2019 interview on "Big Boy's Neighborhood." She told Big Boy, "We used to sing Jazmine Sullivan's 'Need You Bad,' Prince's 'Pop Life,' and Beyoncé's 'If I Were A Boy.'" Would you listen to H.E.R., Kehlani, and Zendaya in a girl group? We would!
