Destiny’s Child tease unreleased remixes with Missy Elliott
Mathew Knowles, the former manager of Destiny’s Child and father of Beyoncé, revealed in a July 22, 2026 interview that unreleased remixes from the iconic girl group are coming—and Missy Elliott is part of the surprise.
Speaking with SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio, Knowles said, “We’re about to market a bunch of new remixes, some you’ve never heard before,” adding that the music should arrive within the next 30 days.
What the remixes include
According to Knowles, the collection spans multiple styles:
- Urban mixes featuring guest rappers
- Dance mixes for club play
- Standard remix revisions of originals
When asked whether Missy Elliott would appear, Knowles confirmed, “Missy Elliot. She’s on one of them,” before pausing and saying, “Ah, I’ll stop.”
It is not yet clear whether the remixes will be packaged as an album, EP, or individual singles. Knowles did not confirm a distribution partner or label.
Why now?
The announcement coincides with renewed cultural interest in the group. On July 22, Destiny’s Child posted the cover of their third studio album, The Writing’s on the Wall, on Instagram with the caption: “Receipts were kept. Rules were written. Classics were made. Celebrating The Writing’s on the Wall, released on this day in 1999.”
The LP originally debuted alongside the quartet lineup of Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson, and LeToya Luckett. After lineup changes in 2000, the group continued as a trio and released Survivor in 2001 before closing their run with Destiny Fulfilled.
“We have so much music that hadn’t been put out yet on Destiny’s Child.” — Mathew Knowles, July 22, 2026
Why It Matters
A new Destiny’s Child release, even in remix form, is notable because the group has largely existed as a catalog act since Destiny Fulfilled in 2004. For streaming-era audiences, remixes offer a rare new product from one of the defining R&B groups of the 2000s. The Missy Elliott feature is especially meaningful because it links two era-defining female acts in hip-hop and R&B. If the release performs well, it may validate a template for other legacy catalog remix projects.
