On Dec. 18, 2016, former Fifth Harmony member, Camila Cabello, decided to part ways with the Miami-based girl group.

According to sources, tension had been festering among the group for some time. Cabello also continuously voiced her desire to pursue a career outside of the group. The singer even opened to press about solo prospects.

The group was assembled by former American Idol judge Simon Cowell during the second season of The X Factor in 2012. The pop group went on to sign a record deal with the music mogul and has managed to score two top five Billboard Hot 100 hits which were "Worth It" and "Work From Home."

Cabello Comes Forward

In February 2017, the singer opened up about the fallout from the leaving Fifth Harmony. Cabello stated that she hasn't been in contact with any of the girls.

"I was always super open [that] I couldn't just sing other people's words and be totally happy with that," Cabello said.

In the interview, the recording artist went on to say that she thought she would receive a positive reaction to her decision.

The 20-year-old said she was surprised by their reaction to her desire for a solo career.

"I hoped that it would be a peaceful turning of the page and we would root for each other. But I only got love for them," Cabello explained.
