Roberson and Luckett later filed another suit against Destiny’s Child. They claimed that the first single, “Survivor”, from Destiny’s Child’s 2001 album of the same name violated their previous settlement due to its lyrics which they believed referenced the ugly split with lyrics such as “thought I couldn’t sell without you, sold nine million”.

It became one of the biggest selling albums released by a female group and was certified eight-times platinum in the U.S. The album includes four hit singles, “Bills, Bills, Bills”, “Bug a Boo”, “Say My Name”, and “Jumpin’, Jumpin'”. LaTavia also gained co-writing contribution more on this album than their first. Roberson performed lead on two songs: “Sweet Sixteen” and “Where’d You Go”. Additionally LaTavia sang lead on the song “Can’t Help Myself” but this song only was released on the albums Houston Edition. In late 1999, in the midst of the success of The Writing’s on the Wall, Roberson and LeToya Luckett attempted to bring in a third-party mediator to work with their manager Mathew Knowles; however, the pair soon found themselves on the outs with Knowles. When the “Say My Name” video debuted in February 2000, the pair learned they’d been replaced by Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin, which led to several lawsuits with the outcome of Roberson and Luckett being entitled to royalty checks from the previous albums they had made with the group.
After that, they created a group called Anjel with two other girls, Naty Quinones and Tiffany Beaudoin. They recorded a 22-track demo to release their album, Heavenly, with the help of Jagged Edge. Unfortunately, the production company which handled the group fell through and all the girls from Anjel went their separate ways.

The tracks were leaked on the internet.
