Kelly Rowland doesn’t need your money.
After learning that someone had created an Instagram account posing as “Dilemma” singer and Destiny’s Child co-star Beyoncé and soliciting money from fans, Rowland took to social media on Jan. 3 to stop the scam.
In the screenshot he shared Mea Culpa actress on her Instagram stories, the attempted scammer’s message to a fan read: “Hey this is Kelly from Destiny’s Child, I lost my credit card and need money for a regular [sic] ticket so I can fly to your city for the show.”

“Can you send me some money? I’ll bring Beyoncé,” they continued.
In a follow-up message, the scammer added, “Hi, Beyoncé here,” as if Cowboy Carter the artist joined the chat.
Rowland wrote above the screenshot: “FAKE AF!!”
“Be careful here!” added the “Motivation” performer. “And don’t you think I know how to spell PLANE!”

Not only are Rowland and Beyoncé not asking fans for money, they are busy with many other things. Last month they went to support friend and fellow ex-Destiny’s Child member Michelle Williams at her opening night in Death becomes her on Broadway.
“It was a real pleasure to have them there because I know they are fans of the movie,” Williams, 45, recently told PEOPLE. “Kelly just said, ‘Wait a minute. How is she going to have a hole in her stomach?’ I said, ‘You have to come see the show.'”
The “Say Yes” singer, who plays Viola Van Horn in the musical, added: “Having them there felt anchored. Obviously we haven’t toured together in years, but it brought me back to when I was alone on stage with them. Even though they weren’t on stage with me, it gave me some fuel for the rest of the show.”

“The music I’m grinding together is really great,” added Rowland. – It’s definitely time for another album.
