Remember the 90’s group 702? After comedian, Sinbad, discovered them in 1996, and New Edition’s Michael Bivins mentored them, they came out with some bangin’ R&B hits, “Where My Girls At,” “Get It Together,” “Steelo”!  A few short years after their hits kind of became R&B music history, so did the group. Word on the Old School curb is that they eventually broke up due to some tensions among them, but that they are all in a great space now.

We now know what the third member, LeMisha, does for a living now. Check out the details about her new profession below…

LeMISHA'S SISTER & FORMER 702 MEMBER, ORISHA, PASSED AWAY IN 2008

Unfortunately LeMisha and her fellow 702 members' rode to their current happiness didn't come without a price though. Just before the world came to know 702, there were actually two other members outside of Irish and Kameelah and LeMisha- two singers by the names of Orish (LeMisha and Irish's sister) and Amelia (LeMisha and Irish's cousin). Both of the previous members left the group in it's very early stages. The saddest part of it all is that the original member, Orish, whom is also Irish's twin and LeMisha's sister, passed away in 2008 at the age of 27 from kidney failure, while she was also battling cancer. Orish was one of the founding members of 702 and after she left the group, their high school friend, Kameelah joined them. Throughout it all, Orish, LeMisha, and Kahmeelah have kept pushing ahead in life even through their grief. May Orish Grinstead continue to rest peacefully and we wish the other former 702 members much continued success in their journeys.

 

 

 

We didn’t hear much from any of the three ladies- LeMisha Fields (formerly LeMisha Grinstead), Kameelah Williams and Irish Grinstead (LeMisha’s sister)- until Kameelah surfaced one season of R&B Divas Atlanta recently. We still don’t know what Irish is doing.
