3LW was a Hip-hop and R&B girl group from the early 2000's. They lost one member after the first album and replaced her with another. The group disbanded in 2007.
The lineup was originally Adrienne Bailon, Kiely Williams, and Naturi Naughton. Kiely's mother was the manager of the band. Rumors were because of that, it caused problems in the group.
The video highlights some of the possible reasons the girls had a lot of tension. Especially when it came to Naturi vs the other girls.
After the Naturi was kicked out of the band she revealed on Wendy William's radio show why.
1) She felt ganged up on by Kiley and Adrienne.
2) Management told her she was being replaced by an understudy.
3) She accuses Kiley of throwing food at her, which caused her to leave.
5) She said she was forced to be the token "ghetto around the way chick" for the urban fans.
6) She said Adrienne was favored because her skin color was lighter.
Kiley denied all this in multiple interviews as shown in the video. Also in 2002, Naturi sued the remaining 3LW accusing them of allegedly attempting to "pimp her out". According to the suit they wanted her to date a member of another group in exchange for a joint tour.
3LW didn't last much longer even with a replacement. Kiley and Adrienne went to do a successful number of years with the Cheetah Girls. After the Cheetah Girls, the 2 former members of 3LW attempted their solo careers.
Kiley released a song "Spectacular" that didn't chart. She now has her own youtube channel called "Kileytv".
Naturi has found success in acting. She starred in the Broadway musical "Hairspray" and film "Fame". She appeared in episodes of "Mad Men" and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". She now stars in the hit tv show "Power".
Adrienne continued music, but had issues with her label for her solo album. She is now a member of talk show "The Real".
