THE R&B girl group 702 was popular in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Named after the area code of the member's hometown, fans want to know who was in the group.
Who were the members of R&B group 702?
The history of 702 dates back to the 1980s, when it was created by a group of high school students at the Las Vegas Academy of Arts.
702's most known line-up consisted of Kameelah Williams and sisters Irish and LeMisha Grinstead, but it was originally a quartet that featured Irish's twin sister, Orish Grinstead.
While Orish might've been one of the founding members, she left the group before they blew up on the 1990s R&B scene.
702 gained recognition after performing for then-Biv 10 president Michael Bivins at the Jack the Rapper Convention, but it was their debut album, No Doubt, that put them on the map.

"We were so young we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into. But our parents really believed in us," Lemisha recalled during a 1997 interview with Billboard.
The group went on to release three additional albums after No Doubt before disbanding in 2006.
What happened to Irish Grinstead?
While 702 might've disbanded, the group's members still had a large fanbase, which is why many were shocked when LeMisha announced that Irish died.
She passed away in September 2023 at the age of 43, but the cause of her death has not been released.

LeMisha said in a statement that her death came after "a long battle."
"It is with great sadness that I have to let you know that my beautiful sister and friend has passed away this evening," LeMisha said in a September 17, 2023, Instagram post.
"She has had a long battle and she is finally at peace. That girl was as bright as the stars! She was not only beautiful on the outside, but also within.
"Sharing the stage with her was a joy I will cherish for the rest of my life! We, the family ask for prayers and respect for our privacy as we grieve an outstanding loss to our family."
Irish's death came 15 years after the passing of her twin sister.
Orish died in April 2008 at the age of 27 as a result of kidney failure.
Where is Kameelah Williams now?
The Grinstead sisters stayed out of the spotlight after the end of 702, but Kameelah went on to launch a successful solo career under the stage name Meelah.
She has released several songs as a solo artist, including Give It to You, Now You're Mad, Stupid in Love, Desert Love, Lullaby, and Think About Me.

In addition to releasing new music, Kameelah also founded P.R.O.U.D (Parents Reaching Out to Understand Developmental Delays), an organization that is dedicated to autism and special needs awareness, according to Sheen Magazine.
In July 2023, she also added 'author' to her resume with the release of the children's book, Zac's Favorite Socks.
