    Kelly Rowland was the first person in her family to buy a house

    The 43-year-old star shot to fame alongside Beyoncé and Michelle Williams in the late 1990s as a member of Destiny's Child and recalled how "great" it felt for her to collect the keys to her first property after years of schlepping it around the country with her mom while trying to build a career


    Speaking in a video posted to Instagram, she said: "I was the first one in my family to actually buy a home. It was in Houston, Texas, and I will never forget going to the office where you fill out all of your paperwork, and when they gave me the keys to my first home, I think I cried.

    "I think I shouted. I was also scared, you know what I mean? Because this is a very big purchase.

    "It's a big investment, but it's a lot of responsibility. But I remember how great I felt, because I remember my mom and I moving from pillar to post. She was a very hardworking woman. She was a nanny and a housekeeper, and we never had like a house that we owned. So getting those keys, that was incredible. "

    The 'Dilemma' hitmaker - who now has a reported net worth of $26 million - was speaking out about her first time buying property as she learned that 85% of Americans feel as if they will never get the chance to own a home and urged them to vote in the upcoming election.

    She said: "So please, it's important for you, for your future, that we get out here and vote. Let's make our voices heard. Make them loud and proud and don't let nobody talk you out of your vote. Speak up for your future."
