Y'all remember the girl group TLC from the 90s, right? No?. Oh, just me then.
Well, TLC reportedly slammed pop star Rihanna for using her body and sex to sell records. Speaking to Channel 7's Sunrise on Friday morning, Tionne 'T-Boz' Watkins, 44, and Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas, 43, had a clear message for RiRi. 'Every time I see you you don't have to be naked,' T-Boz said.
The pair who are currently touring Australia said using sex and being naked is the easy way to get to the top in the music industry. 'It's easy to sell sex,' the duo, who have five Grammy and MTV awards under their belts, said. 'It's hard for us to say anything because any time we do, they say, 'Oh TLC must be jealous', but I call a spade a spade,' T-Boz added.
'We became the biggest girl selling group of all time with our clothes on and that says a lot,' Chilli chimed in. 'We could go around too with booby cakes [breasts] out all day long,' she said referring to Rihanna's sheer see-through dress for Monday's CFDA Awards.
The all girl group have had their fair share of hardships though their years. In 2002, the rapper in the group, Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes was killed in a car crash. 'The three of us had chemistry, now it's two and we have crazy chemistry. The fans also keep us going because they love us so much,' the singers added.
The duo officially calling it quits in 2002 following the tragic death but T-Boz and Chilli Thomas reformed for a series of concerts in 2009. Now they are on a national tour of Australia and are not modest about their successes to date.
'TLC is my favourite girl group, even though I'm in the group. I love our group. I love what we stand for,' Chilli said. 'The blessing out of all of this is that we are able to sustain and that's the hard thing to do in this business is to have longevity,' she added. 'It's almost 22 years that we've been in the business'.
