We now take a look back at the female R&B groups who emerged during the 2000\u2019s. The decade prior featured some of the most iconic groups of all time who are still making an impact to this day. Unfortunately the 2000\u2019s was not quite able to live up to that hype.<\/p>\n
The 2000s marked a significant decline for female R&B groups, as the era was defined by the transition of breakout stars from groups into successful solo careers. Destiny\u2019s Child was the decade\u2019s most prominent group, achieving massive commercial success before disbanding in 2006, which launched Beyonc\u00e9 into superstardom. While some groups like TLC continued to release music, their careers were impacted by internal and external challenges, most notably the tragic death of Left Eye in 2002. New groups like 3LW, Cherish, and Danity Kane emerged, often through reality television or with strong label backing, but struggled to achieve the same longevity and impact as their 90s predecessors, leading to a landscape dominated by solo artists.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve been on the music scene for many years and have made it our job to keep up to date on this type of information. Have you ever found yourself wondering \u201cWhatever happened to\u2026\u201d your favorite artist? Hopefully we\u2019ve helped to answer that question. You\u2019ll find that most of the groups on the list below are now sadly broken up or dissolved, but at least left us with quality music while they were still releasing it. This list includes the R&B groups who debuted between 2000 and 2009. Click on any artist name to see all recent posts about that artist.<\/p>\n

They broke out in 2000 with the hit singles \u201cNo More (Baby I\u2019ma Do Right)\u201d & \u201cPlayas Gon\u2019 Play\u201d. Their self titled debut album came out that year and the album \u201cA Girl Can Mack\u201d arrived in 2002. The group broke up after that while Kiely and Adrienne went on to join The Cheetah Girls, and Naturi eventually got into acting. The group remains one of the most discussed \u201cwhat if\u201d stories due to their public fallout. Adrienne Bailon-Houghton has become a staple in daytime television (The Real) and recently reunited with her husband for music and various Disney projects. Naturi Naughton successfully pivoted to a high-profile acting career, starring as Tasha St. Patrick in the Power franchise. Kiely Williams most recently appeared in reality TV circuits like BET Presents: The Encore, where she leaned into her reputation as a group \u201cenforcer.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The group emerged in the early 2000\u2019s with their singles \u201cMiss P\u201d and \u201cDo It To It\u201d from their debut album \u201cUnappreciated\u201d. They followed with the album \u201cThe Truth\u201d in 2008. Cherish have continued to release singles over the years, with the most recent coming in 2017.<\/a> In 2021, the group was featured on the reality show BET Presents: The Encore. You can check out our recent interview with the group. <\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Wyclef Jean helped introduce the group made up of Ryan Toby, Robbie Pardlo & Claudette Ortiz in 2001 with their self titled debut album. That project featured the singles \u201cCaramel\u201d and \u201cWhat Would You Do?\u201d. The group broke up after, and the members went on to have solo careers and have not reunited since. Claudette was featured on producer Salaam Remi\u2019s 2021 single \u201cAll I Need Is You\u201d.<\/a> Former group member Robbie died in 2025.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Another high profile group created by Puff Daddy as part of his Making the Band series. The group originally consisted of Aubrey O\u2019Day, Dawn Richard, Shannon Bex, Aundrea Fimbres & D. Woods. They released the successful albums \u201cDanity Kane\u201d and \u201cWelcome to the Dollhouse\u201d in the mid 2000\u2019s. The group disbanded after and went into separate solo careers. Shannon, Dawn and Aundrea reunited in 2014 and released the DK3 album. Shannon and Aubrey have also formed the duo Dumbblonde in recent years. Danity Kane most recently released the single \u201cNeon Lights\u201d in 2019.<\/a> In late 2025, a portion of the group announced touring plans and is touring during 2026.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The girl group of Puff Daddy arrived in 2001 with their hit single \u201cHe Loves U Not\u201d and debut album \u201cIt Was All A Dream\u201d. Their second album \u201cReality\u201d was eventually scrapped after they were dropped from Bad Boy. The group has reunited to tour over the past decade, but has once again broken up and not released new music.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This group was formed by The Dream and producer Tricky Stewart and featured members Kyndra \u201cBinkie\u201d Reevey, Lesley Lewis, Naomi Allen, & Sarah Rosete. They released their debut album \u201cHow to Be a Lady: Volume 1\u201d in 2009 but have widely been unheard from since.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The duo of Marsha Ambrosius aka the Songstress and Natalie Stewart aka The Floacist made up Floetry. They arrived in Philly via the UK and ended up at DJ Jazzy Jeff\u2019s \u201cA Touch of Jazz\u201d studios. It was there they created their debut album \u201cFloetic\u201d which released in 2002 and became a part of the Neo-Soul movement. They\u2019d release one more album together before disbanding to embark on solo careers. However, they came back together in 2014 to briefly reunite and tour.<\/a> They\u2019ve both gone back to solo careers since then.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The group arrived in 2002 via their Motown Records debut single \u201cXclsuive\u201d featuring The LOX. They released their debut album of the same name that same year but it faired poorly on the charts and the group has since broken up.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The group was made up of four members including LeTecia Harrison, Ardena Clark, La\u2019Myia Good & Quierra \u201cQui Qui\u201d Davis-Martin. They scored a big hit with the Kandi Burress penned song \u201cSingle for the Rest of my Life\u201d. Their debut album \u201cThe Way We Do\u201d released in 2002 and also featured the hit \u201cDay & Night\u201d featuring Jadakiss. The group broke up shortly after, and Qui Qui has been the most successful in a solo career.<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The duo consisted of Kim Johnson & Kandy Johnson caught the attention of The Isley Brothers who helped released their debut album \u201cIce Cream\u201d in 2003. R. Kelly executive produced their album and also wrote the lead single. The group hasn\u2019t been active since.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The group consisting of Falonte \u201cFonz\u201d Moore and female singer Vernell \u201cVee\u201d Sales was discovered by DJ Kay Gee of Naughty by Nature and signed to his Divine Mill label. Their debut album \u201cMars\/Venus\u201d released in 2001 and featured the hit songs \u201cAfter Party\u201d, \u201cWeekend Thing\u201d and \u201cDidn\u2019t Mean to Turn You On\u201d. Unfortunately the group broke up shortly before the album released, which Kay Gee discussed with us in an interview a few years ago.<\/a> In 2023, Koffee Brown re-emerged, with original member Vernell \u201cVee\u201d Sales as part of the group, with singer Ryan Lane replacing Falonte \u201cFonz\u201d Moore. As of 2026, they continue to release new music, including the latest single \u201cA Place Called Love\u201d in 2025.<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The R&B supergroup made up of Raphael Saadiq (of Tony! Toni! Ton\u00e9!), Dawn Robinson (of En Vogue), and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (of A Tribe Called Quest) came together at the start of 2000. They scored hits like \u201cDance Tonight\u201d and \u201cDon\u2019t Mess With My Man\u201d along with the self titled debut album that same year. The group disbanded after that one album and hasn\u2019t been back together to reunite since.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This short lived group gained notoriety through their signing to J Records and first single \u201cYoung & Sexy\u201d featuring Loon in 2003. The album was eventually scrapped and the group hasn\u2019t been heard from since.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This group made up of twins Nicole and Natalie Albino broke onto the scene in 2003 with their hit \u201cMove Ya Body\u201d and released their self titled debut album the following year. Several mixtapes, an EP called \u201cThe Other Side\u201d, and their second album called \u201cNicole and Natalie\u201d followed in the years after, and the duo continue to be active performing shows and doing DJ sets.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The group was put together by super producer Rich Harrison and featured a lineup of Audra Simmons, Christina \u201cBrave\u201d Williams, Kristal Lyndriette Smith & Amber \u201cSevyn\u201d Streeter.

The group eventually disbanded, and each have gone on to have solo success.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Another discovery and signing by DJ Kay Gee of Naughty by Nature.
