For the people pointing out that the guy in the studio (Warryn Campbell) isn’t Rodney Jerkins: yes, I know that. I was just using clips of Brandy in the studio from 2002. 😘
Okay, because I was like that looks like Erica Campbell's husband.
Warryn produced a song called, He Is. It’s on the album 💿 and the clips of Brandy in the studio are with him (from her MTV diary 📔 presents Special delivery) adding some new touches to the music 🎵 because she planned on doing it as a single at the time.
Lol not putting a kissy face at the end . Lol I love the passive aggression
@@nicchris960 she's not being passive aggressive.
Why are you posting a story from over 20 years ago when she was damn near still a teen. She is a grown ass woman today with her daughter being in college. Get over it.
Too much expectations on Brandy, while Ray J gets to run wild. I know this all too well.😐
EXACTLY
Well he's a dude (Ray J ) so double standard back then was common
@@nthuthukomdluli1052 that double standard is still very prevalent.
Reminds me of T.I and his kids, how he treats King over Deja.
@@anniem.670 yes
Maybe her mom's strict energy should have been directed towards Ray J...he's a mess. Love love Brandy ❤
You aint never lied!
MESSAGE
men will.be MEN
Exactly
Um. Mom AND dad should've directed that energy to lil bro, that's on both of them. Mom was not a single parent.
All I know is her “marriage” to Robert was her best acting role. Sis was convincing as hell in the beginning.
🤣🤣🤣
“Tony” worthy 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
@@dtatt3dup360 Maybe a Timmy..🤣
@@pn6528 thank u for the correction
Being pregnant out of wedlock was a sin but lying wasn't? People are weird.
Right
And what they tried to avoid w the pregnancy (truth), they got w the lie.
Over the top religious people are weird. This is the type of mess they do, I would know, I was raised in it all my miserable life 😂😂😂.
It the same with other sin as well. Hate people but be dinning the same. At least I am at a hypocrite
Girl I was watching this smhing the WHOLE time. I’m like does anybody feel convicted blatantly lying lol plus, it was kinda obvious it was a lie because they were on Oprah saying they were married but she was the only one wearing a ring. Awkward 😕
Brandy’s mom strikes me as someone who lived their life through their daughter. And she was grown enough to not fake a marriage for sake of pregnancy. Just another example of black moms raising their daughters and coddling their sons. Brandy is a forever legend
Exactly
You said exactly what I was thinking. Dealt with this growing up smh
Or maybe she sounds like a person who wasnt going to let the "industry" ruin her child. I think she did GREAT w Brandy
It maybe she actually sounds like an original mom, you know the mom you have to respect no matter how old you get, one that make sure daughter doesn't get used by industry, her mom was what a mom was supposed to be
How because they industry ruined Brandy ‼️‼️‼️ and watching Moesha she was horrible. I think that was her personality in real life
Ray J gets away with all that nonsense because black mothers tend to love their sons but raise their daughters.
Latín mothers are the same, the boys are the “princes” and fathers are stricter with daughters. For example Selena Quintanilla when touring stayed with her parents and sister but Abraham, her brother partied with the musicians and had multiple marriages and was running around like a thug.
This was the exact same thing I said in another video, and had about 4 or 5 people try to argue with me for almost a whole month about it……
Preach girl
Amen
@Mina E You are right. I am part of the guilty party, because my two daughter's have told me this also.
Regardless of how Sy’rai got here, I never stopped being a Brandy fan. Shit happens. Plus we haven’t heard anything about her being a bad mom
💯
Facts!!!!
Right! Like tbh this isn’t a big deal to me to make me not like her
Exactly, it was not a big deal to me either. I still continued listening and appreciating her music because her personal life had nothing to do with me.
Babies don’t just happen. Is that how y’all talk about bringing lives into the world?
Let’s be honest, moms… especially black moms are more strict on girls than boys (especially if the boy is the baby or younger)…. Not all but many.
Black women are NOT the only race to do that
True!
So true! I see it all too often and I feel it is why some BM can never take accountability for anything.
@@tiaraw872 that’s why she said MOST moms overall but said specifically black moms in referring to the situation with brandy
@@tiaraw872 Calm down Tiara, people can only speak for their ethnic group.
Just because she didn’t speak confidently for all groups, that doesn’t negate what happens with other races, chill.
Full moon era was iconic
“Like this” is still a bop 😩😩😩
That entire album is 🔥🔥🔥
@@carolerichards7013 two eleven is my shit! she's one of my favorite singing beast so its really hard to choose
Face whole album is hard 🔥🎇🧯
DEFINITELY!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Facts
I didn't know any of this about Brandy's personal life, but I'm shook that she had a man's FACE tattooed on her and they didn't even get married! To me, that was her biggest mistake.
She tattooed his face on her😭🤦🏻♀️
Agreed😂😂😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Dude had the magic stick on lock! That's the only way I could imagine some women putting a tattoo of her boyfriend face on her.
I was a freshman in high school when this happened and I was shocked she faked being married but didn’t really care. I thought it was weird that they faked it though. I wouldn’t be shocked if Brandy had some issues because her mom was SUPER OVERPROTECTIVE of her but not Ray J. This is why you gotta let your kids grow and figure themselves out at some point and Sonya never did that with Brandy.
Sonjas relationship with Ray J is very telling. You can tell she babied him until he reached his late 20’s to 30s. In her eyes he can do no wrong. Look at how she behaved with Princess. You can tell she wants to be in control over her children’s lives and can’t help but meddle and frequently sways out of her lane.
Their father Willie mostly raised Ray J and Willie isn't as strict as Sonya. Willie Norwood is very passive. I can tell that from watching Brandy & Ray: A Family Business on VH1. It explains a lot.
@@joshuamcdowell9745 yes I remember watching that show sometimes and she ran all over him.
imapisces0308,
I agree 💯💯! Parents(particularly mothers) should not smother their daughters- give them a little bit of air. They have to make some mistakes, learn and experience things early or they may be slow and learning things late. I know this for sure🥴.
That’s because black girls and black guys aren’t raised the same I swear my brother and cousins could away anything but if I did something unladylike or bad all hell would break loose one time they checked my grandma Computer to see if I was watching P*rn but did they do that to my brother or my Male cousins no it’s not fair this is why so many girls have self-esteem issues I hate the boys will be boys mentality i’m just going to do better with my own kids that’s all I can say
she followed a script to lie about her fake marriage, but even with the tarnished image, she DELIVERED an iconic album called Afrodisiac. ps : legend!!
Yasss I loved that album!!!!
My fave album of hers!
Facts! I was 11 years ago old singing “talk about our love” as if I knew I was gonna relate to it later in life Bofl
yes
and it flopped
Brandy was under a microscope to be the innocent star that young girls can look up to and she had that "Girl Next Door" image. That must have been stressful and I see why she did it but it was so unnecessary. It woulda been ppl talking mess but Brandy is not obligated to raise your children to be in her exact image. She dealt with her own struggles and not perfect. It's crazy how folks think celebrities are suppose to be perfect role model.
When they make bad decisions people believe they are influencing their kids. We’re all human and we make mistakes. It’s up to us whether we want to make good choices.
The things her parents created her image not the industry it's funny how they didn't create one for her brother tho
Thank you!
@@tgirl1762 It was mainly that mother of hers. Sonya Norwood is a piece of work. Go back and watch Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business. Sonya is just ugh! Brandy and Ray J's father Willie is a bit more on the passive side.
Exactly!
Even if she had her daughter out of wedlock, Brandy is still a positive force for young girls, especially dark skinned girls.
We're so hard on young women. Brandy had one child. The young men can do whatever and get praises like they're the second coming. Don't give the bs about women can't do what men can. That's a loaded statement. We're not perfect, angels, princess, or even queens. Allow us to be human. There is more to us than being objects for everybody.
I know right. She ain't Jesus..And it's like that whole marriage " rockumentary" was totally weird to me. And I wasn't surprised to find out it was fake. They was trying way too hard!
Women can’t do what men can do because we ain’t the same sorry.
That “squeaky clean” image was overbearing and Brandy needed a way out so she did what she did. That’s what happens when you grow up in those strict religious household. You have to live up to so many expectation and it has an affect on you mentally, spiritually and even physically.
True and her crazy momma causing all that extra pressure on her too/good girl image
No midriff showing 🙄 girl please Ms Sonya was and still is a mess but she never have that same energy for Ray J dusty self
@@thetruesoulofanaquarius9302 exactly! Mad annoying. And that’s why Brandy rebelled becoming the same woman her mother despised. AN OUT OF WEDLOCK MOTHER!
Maybe if you loosened your grips a bit when she was a teen, she wouldn’t have done what she did. I understand being a protective parent but you need to do it in moderation. Everything needs to be done In Moderation.
Brandy was so smothered with religion and that good girl image and being sheltered that when she got much older and had a bit of freedom, she ran wild.
Keeping her locked up in chains and nun outfits isn’t the way. Instead of telling her not to do certain thing, EXPLAIN WHY. That’s the thing with these parents, they wanna rule with iron fists. DO WHAT I SAY. NO QUESTION! Brandy needed a MOTHER not a WARRIOR.
Exactly 💯 they had high expectations for her and let Ray J run wild.
💯💯💯
@@thetruesoulofanaquarius9302
EXACTLY!
While Brandy was being restricted and controlled Ray J was probably being coddled and allowed to do whatever he wanted-- case in point that s ex tape with Kim Kardashian.
This affected her career but this was the Era of her best music...she even had a show "Special Delivery" on Vh1 or Mtv🤔.. whew I was young but remember all of it lol so nostalgic
I remember that show!
YASSSSSSSSSSS
Yup I remember when that special aired
She even said this lie killed her career
right
Yep
I don't care what nobody say Brandy's Mom Sonja Norwood was a major part of her Downfall !
She was not the pregnancy
@@tgirl1762 She was. Sonya was Brandy's manager. She was the one who put the lie in motion. Brandy was just doing what her mother told her to do and say. Sonya should have took that manager hat off and acted like her mother.
AGREED
Career and personal at that. Her parents came up with a whole lie about this girl marriage. Also, I thought dude wife came out and said him and brandy wasn’t married
So true!
If there's two things no one can take from Ms. Norwood, she is a living LEGEND with a vocal gift from the heavens and has been gorgeous ALL her life. Period.
There's actually three things... her very keen skill of lying.
Calling your child's mother a jump off in public isn't the act of a responsible father. If he was in a relationship and cheating, that is a reflection on his character, not hers.
Well she pretty much said she never loved him. Fxck around and find out.
I feel like they were both immature and could not control their emotions. I am sure he is happy now when he sees his daughter.
Ray J has a legendary sister and is out here acting like a child💀
I mean their two different people with two different minds. Just because they are family don’t mean nothing, btw I bet your like 15😂
@@sarahhhx3 nah I’m an adult, I understand that but that still don’t mean he should act a fool in public, plus I actually like the raycons
Never liked the dude rode off his sister coat tail...
those earbuds tho
CMON TRUTH! Your sister is a LEGEND & we’re out here acting like this! Bye!
Brandy’s mom has always been a little… strange to the say the least 🥴. She seemed controlling over her than her brother who can be a hot mess from time to time.
All the time
Indeed! I can see it all in her eyes.
You know black mothers tend to love their sons and raise their daughters.
Too busy helicoptering over her daughter she forgot to check on that disrespectful son of hers and that sus husband 💅
@@nickishisname Wha???👀
Her daughter looks exactly like her father Robert.
Have you seen her pictures recently ?? She’s giving 90’s Brandy !!! 😍😍😍😍 she’s Brandy’s twin
I think she’s a mix but definitely has her mom’s eyes
@@babygurll7 Looks just like her mom.
@@ErikaDavinci35 exactly 😍😍
I haven’t seen her lately but it seems like most celeb children look like they dad lol
Chile Brandy is NOT the first person to have a child out of wedlock damn near the whole world's population is full of those precious gifts😌. It's okay Brandy you are human.
I feel so sorry for Bran! She's a legend, soooo underrated vocally and she still struggles mentally because of what her mom put her through, she still doesn't get the truama of it all.
Her mom did great w her far as that industry goes and her image.
Her mom did an EXCELLENT job with her and her name is the VOCAL BIBLE!
WHO IS SHE UNDERRATED BY EXACTLY?!
@truthtorpedo4068 far from underrated exactly.
What did her Mom put her through?
The way that host kissed Brandy at 6:05 was very inappropriate.
Literally! I’m surprised I wasn’t the only one who noticed..
He was so handsy🥴🥴🥴
The comment I was looking for, I was cringing at that 🙃
@@PezOnTheBoards you know we “catch” everything 😂😂😂
He was grabbing her face which is force, I can see if she leaned in. But you can tell she wasn’t trying to have him kiss her.
As controlling as Sonja is, how did she not make that guy sign an NDA? Damn Sonya was slippin. Well, maybe she did cause we haven’t heard from robert since then
not controlling enough because brandy was in a relationship with wanya morris from boyz 2 men when she was 17 and he was well into his 20’s
Look on the bright side - at least they weren't married. Think about the spousal support he could have demanded.
@@kaylabey He was not well into his 20s he was 21
@@kaylabey 16.
She was 15 and he was 21 brand was born 1979 and he was born 1973
One day we will talk about how the pressure to be squeaky clean is entirely unrealistic and all the celebrities perfection took from the world. Whitney to be specific.
FACTS!!!!!
People judged Brandy for faking this marriage, but I actually felt sorry for her. The pressure she was under from her parents and the world must’ve been so intense. Her mother seems very overbearing, it’s so hard to grow up under that type of scrutiny and never being able to put a foot wrong.
Brandy’s mother should have been strict on Ray J who was literally a MESS in the industry.
Was...... he still is lol!! 😂😅🤣
@@larhondaburchett3271 😂🤣💀
I think Brandy is her favorite child. It’s messed up but I’ve always gotten that feeling.
@@larhondaburchett3271 yes still is 😭
With a capital M lol 🤣😂🤣
This was a good era for her musically even if not in personal life
AND SHE LOOKED TF GOOD
Full Moon is still one of my favorite Brandy songs of all time. I remember as a youngin playing that song on that little mp3 player that would play a song for like only 30 secs (forgot what it was called), and I begged my mama to buy the album ❤
@@roeshad yess, I loved her style and confidence during this era.
At that point she was grown but her family wanted to keep that image pristine and in tact. Also I feel her parents were the ones with the problem. Her mom has a very domineering spirit and I can just about imagine how she reacted to that news. And I’m SURE they weren’t in a driveway playing. Someone was in the driveway cussin and damn near tousling.
@4C Chick it was! I know Oprah was tired of people lying to her lmao
Funny how her mom had all that energy for her and not her foolish brother
Right!
@@yageshabazz3456 Yup, a mother knows her children.But, he’s been trying hard his whole career. But a least he ain’t no slouch.
Her mother later admitted on their reality show that she tried to get Brandy to get an abortion to "protect her image".
Tattooing a man’s face on your body? Oh HELL NO!!!
Lol
Yeah she was bugging for that 🤣
Lol
She was young…we all make mistakes 😂
Wild girl 😂😂
If we are going to be completely honest the media should apologize to Whitney, Britney, Brandy, Christina Aguilera, Miley Cyrus and Aaliyah (for the way R. Kelly groomed her but she got the backlash). All of these ladies were just trying to grow and figure themselves out but they were shamed into keeping this image BUT their male counterparts could do whatever.
Janet too
LIL KIM, NIA LONG
You exaggerated a lot
@vanessarickford6260Nia Long???
Who is ",the media"???😂😂😂
Damn you can tell in the last Oprah interview that Brandy still felt so much shame about not being married. Someone *cough* Sonja*cough* really did a number on her confidence
She was raised with morals, I guess.
@Peaches J He obviously didn’t listen and was probably more rebellious! He’s a mess too but she made a comment about Brandy so that why I was talking about her.
Sonya did an excellent job with her and her confidence. Fall back.
@@evapeace2385 Sonja wasn't there for most of Ray J's upbringing. She was already on the road with Brandy while their father Willie Norwood mostly raised Ray J.
I didn't hold this against Brandy. The only problem I have is how Moesha ended we still don't know who was pregnant on that show!!
Right !!! I'm still mad about that lol
That Part!!!
Most likely Alicia
@@petitensweet08 I thought it was her too!
@@petitensweet08 girl I said the same thing. Remember she kept eating and sleeping?
It’s funny how nobody would care about this today- pregnant out of wedlock part anyway.
Nobody would've cared about it then either if she would've told the truth. Her mother being a christian created this image and didn't want it ruined by her loose behavior. Funny how she didn't catch the relationship with Wanye tho or did she🤔
I missed the days when women strived to b more than just baby mommas …just saying
@@tgirl1762 Shoot, pop star Britney Spears couldn't say that she wasn't a virgin. The press dragged her.
@@labelmeposh They dragged because of what Justin said about her not because she wasn't a virgin. He told the world she cheated on him when she really didn't and made a song about it. Christina Aguilera was a disney girl when she first came out then completely changed her look by her next album to a stripper type look and nobody really cared
Nobody cared back then either...
I had second hand embarrassment for her when it was exposed she faked her marriage. So unnecessary and the fact her parents were in on the scam is just shameful. My only sympathy is with their daughter.
Honestly no one cared but Oprah and white people. The amount of dirty secrets and lies that go on in Hollywood is astonishing.
Brandy deserve an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Toney for that performance. I still love my Brandy! Always and forever.
EGOT!
I was not surprised to find out she lied about being married
She probably wouldnt of been found out if she didnt go on live TV and say the stuff she did.
Yes it didn't feel real for me either. Like it was rushed for TV
@@biggunz29xx She was talking too much in those interviews.
@@seriousblakk Facts! I remember when all this happened and I would’ve just smiled and said “you guys will just have to wait and see, my album will drop on….” And kept it pushing cuz her private life is for her…they so hard on girls/woman but look at Ray J! The very thing they wanted for Brandy (marriage/kids) is actually what he has now and when he was younger he was allowed to just be and do whatever…he lived and partied while they were so hard on Brandy and she’s a single unmarried mother ….shit is sad with the double standards!
And let’s not forget “Full Moon!” That was such an amazing album.
Yes. Loved that Brandy redid PM Dawn’s song
From beginning to end
@@lauralarrabee7870 Brandy & Ray J sound so heavenly on that cover. It’s so gorgeous.
Hellyea "Let's get it cracking if you like" 🎵🎵🎶
"Like This" is one of my favourites on that album...
It sounds like Robert’s girlfriend was like, “Tell em the truth!!!!”
Good point! I never knew he was with someone else yet alone both expecting at the same time.
I don't think that's true. It's not fair when someone is giving a narrative that is not the truth. Brandy was saying some hurtful things. If it is not true, then he has the right to say his side of the story.
💯💯☕
@@A-Noodles Yes she was.
I think he just had enough of the charade when she started putting him down in the media (after she got with the athlete). She had no consideration for his reputation when lying to protect her own. When you're as big as Brandy was, you rarely notice the plight of the little people you're stepping on. In a sense, I can relate. I used to be one of the popular kids in school at one point, lol.
Actually when Sonya said "they said i was gonna ruin her career" well she kinda did. Because let's honest I think we all have inkling that Sonya told her to say that. Brandy went along with it and took responsibility but Sonya did that. The whole thing was stupid because no one cared that she was pregnant and not married.
Right it would have looked better if she had messed up acknowledged it and then got married like Ciara
Exactly no one would’ve cared
The thing she thought would cause backlash may not have. The cover up was the image destroyer.
Looking back now, I can tell she was lying. Plus their stories were contridicting from TRL to Oprah. But who cares. It happens. Love her!
All for her image. She had to make sure the “Brandy” Brand will still sell.
The “spiritual union” will forever take me OUT!
IKR😳😹😹😹😹😹
The bastard didn’t have to call her a jump off 🙄
Jump off and that's the mother of his child 🚸🤷‼️
I know right😠
Yeah that's was too much
I guess he cared NOTHING about his daughter.
🤣
Rip. Lashawn. He was defineitely a staple in the industry.
Who was him?
@@MsDisneylandlover he was a song writer and producer. He helped to launch and sustain tamars career amongst many other accolades.
He sure was!!! RIP LaShawn.
Funniest shit ever is Sonya & Ray Js wife Princess resemble each other and Sonya can’t stand her ass 🤣💀
Sonya doesnt like princess??
@@anelissabrown2424 Nope!

It’s crazy how much they look alike.
@@anelissabrown2424 watch the first season of love & hip hop Hollywood 😂 AND the season they when they got married , it’s clear as day
Melody looks so much like Sonya too. That’s incredible.
I remember watching her MTV show that documented her pregnancy and birth.
Yessss and she didn't want to give birth in the hospital room smh
Yes! We were pregnant and gave birth at the same time. I told my daughter's father we had to get married before the baby came too, just like Brandy. 🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣🤣
Me too. And her BD played her dust the whole time
@@TheMarvelousBeautyChannel1 🤣🤣
Girl I remember that and I lowkey haven’t liked her after she had that baby shower for her fans and then gave all their gifts away but didn’t tell them that she was before hand.
I remember when this first happened. My Mom said out the gate, "Brandy is not hardly married. No way. And no wedding? On what planet??!"
🤣🤣🤣 mommas know best
@@thetruesoulofanaquarius9302 Don't they though. 🤣
yesssss my mom too😂😂😂 she said how she go from cinderella to eloping ? 🤣 no way
@@latenighthub very true. Plus her mom seem the type that would have had them do a real wedding if they were to elope
My mom said the same thing 😂
To be honest brandy is the LEAST problematic stars!!!!! Love her!!
I love Brandy but she’s had her fair share of drama. She actually killed someone in an car accident.
@@lovelife8606 Not intentionally. It was an accident. People just blame her because she has money. I do not believe that Brandy woke up one morning, got in her car and decided to kill somebody. She wasn't charged but people was coming after her with lawsuits. That was a difficult period for Brandy. Brandy even admitted that she was thinking about killing herself but thought about her daughter.
@@lovelife8606 you right!
LIES, Brandy has been a black widow behind the scenes Knocking Romeo's eye out, being a side chick, being a total BITCH to Countess Vaughn, and killing that lady 😒😒
Shit she accidentally poked Romeo from IMX eye out but I digress
I definitely remember the pressure on girls to maintain a virginal image in the late 90s/early 2000s. That’s why the Justin/Brittney feud was so big. He told the press that they’d had sex, ruining her image. Also, Jessica Simpson’s virginity was basically half the reason she was famous. I would have lied too.
Shit so sad
So true! No one shamed the men though, smh!
@@jaidasimone_ yess they all had purity rings, to the point I wanted one bc I wanted to be like Selena Gomez 😂😂

@@jaidasimone_ What?...🤣 that is so weird that wasn't in Disney when I looked at it...
This is my daughter while grabbing Brandy’s hand. I felt she was asserting her dominance over Brandy. That interview was always so strange to me. I absolutely believe Sonja was behind this lie. And let me be honest. I never liked the Mom. And I never believed they were married.
She was...
You're right. Look at the rest of the body language in that interview. Brandy couldn't even happily speak on the mother daughter relationship.
😭😭😭 feeling sis so hard "felt the pressure of having to be perfect"
Cant get enough of that 🔥 intro!!

@@youmakemelaugh1797 does anyone know that song in the beginning
@@phoebethomas3027 Right I wanna know the name of the song too?!
Damn….looking back at these interviews (especially the one with Oprah) & the mtv special….the way they all had clearly rehearsed lies 🤥 is disturbing/scary AF.
Extremely..it even looks obvious that she's lying when you look at her eyes.
Brandy was an actress before she became a popular singer! 🤷♀️ Ijs
The whole thing about the Dad and the shotgun? You could tell Robert was uncomfortable lying. The only one, I guess.
CheleBear no she wasn’t... she was a singer first you simpleton. but either way doesn’t matter which came first she clearly is multi-factored and very talented.
@@strwbrybabyg245
Have you ever watched Thea? She was interested in both, but her acting took off before the singing.
Her mom really manipulated her image. I don’t hold it against Brandy at all.
He didn't have to call her a "jump off" though smh
He always struck me as being an opportunist. Who was using whom in that relationship? Ask that.
Yes
Right, I was like “stating the truth” is calling Brandy a jump off
Right. I oop’d on that one.
And brandy was too good for her! I always thought that!!
I can wait until Brandy does a biopic, this tea is going to be an iconic part of the movie. This was literally when everything changed for her. I think we’re going to find out wayyyyy more about this than what we see on the surface. And like many have already said in the comments, Momma Sonja played a major part in that. It doesn’t take away the tremendous amount of work she put into being a manger and also it wasn’t her fault her famous daughter went and got pregnant, she just had to do damage control. SHE wanted them to get married, my idol BRANDY was like nah let’s just say it lol so there it is.
Not EVERY celebrity is going to want a biopic.
@@TF-gf3fs she literally said she wanted to make one and star in it herself but…..okay 🤷🏼♂️
Brandy wanted to apologize but Mama said HELL NO. LOL. I would love a biopic from her and Monica
@@SoSillyWilly26 I mean really.. You really want a BRANDY biopic? Seeing as how they lied about her marriage? If Sonja will be involve it won't a biopic. It'll be pure fiction.
@@TF-gf3fs if every singer/celebrity that lied opted out of doing a biopic, then there wouldn’t be any lol. Hell, some ppl even lie in the biopic lol it’s just human nature. So yes, I would still love to see her incredible rise. She had it rough but always pulled through.
It really is sad that Brandy felt she couldn’t be honest about not being married while pregnant. Fake marriage aside…I hope she can find love and healing one day. Chile she might be happy and in a relationship and we just don’t know it. Either way I hope she and her daughter are doing well. Seems like being a teen star can really have traumatic, long lasting affects. ❤️
There was definitely pressure on her parents and her management. I didn’t care if she was pregnant out of wedlock Her music was brilliant! Didn’t it go platinum?
You’re right! Peer pressure can lead to traumatic emotions
The pregnancy was real
@@ashablack2291 I meant to say marriage
So here’s the thing. I hear people compare her to Monica because of the beef whether it was for entertainment or what and even accusing Brandy of being stuck up, but Brandy been thru it! Brandy had so much pressure to be perfect coming up and I feel like her mama and pappy had a lot to do with that. Black women couldn’t be carefree then and we barely can be now.
It’s a lot of pressure. Imagine the pressure of everyone’s jobs. If Brandy didn’t show up, there would be a lot of jobs at stake. Can’t even call in. So much pressure. And she always smiled through it. Oh Brandy! 😔❤️🙏🏽
Brandy leaned into that narrative of being the "opposite" of Monica... meanwhile 😂
@@essencekk I wouldn’t say she leaned into it. She was more so pushed into it. Brandy was trying to figure herself out while dealing with pressure and Monica was given love regardless of how she chose to present herself.
Something I noticed is other people around them encouraged the beef and got a rise off the tension.
Dallas Austin had an interview about it and thought it was funny. Society thinks beef between women is hilarious, especially with Black women.
Black folks also tend to glorify that hood ninja persona, but not every Black person is like that and Monica had a problem with Brandy because she didn’t fall into that category like she did and made it seem like Brandy was being a certain way and she truly wasn’t.
I was definitely listening when you bought up RAY J … you should’ve kept going 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
We don’t care and we still love Brandy! Now do a video about her accomplishments throughout the years. She’s inspired many Black girls across the globe and her talent is still praised by our music favs til this day!
I appreciate you taking the time to make this.
Whew Brandy is AN ACTRESS!!!!
The media run She did whewwwwwww
She doesn’t get enough credit for this lie. Just saying.
It was nauseating to watch her tell all them lies..lol..whew.
@@pn6528 like WHEEEEEWWWW
HONESTLY the video didn’t end fast enough.
It’s crazy I just thought about all the pressure they put on the Pop girls.
Full moon is one of her best albums too, so I feel like she had to do what she had to do 😂🤷🏾♀️ although I feel like her career still has never been as big since it came out she was lying 🥴
Full Moon is a masterpiece. I can listen to that album from start to finish.
Absolutely, I LOVE Full Moon and Never Say Never album's the best!!🙌😊🌟👑💎💯
But Full Moon WAS the beginning of her downfall and it wasnt that great of an album.
Then Robert told Wendy Williams about Brandy and everything...... why of all people he talk to her. SMH.
For a check 🤣🤣🤣
Extra tacky of him to do that😒
Brandy is My Queen! Before the Raven Symonè's, The Zendaya's, Keke Palmer's, China Anne McClain's and Normani's. There was Brandy. No one (Black American woman) other than Whitney and Janet was thrusted into Supreme Superstardom So Young! The Quadruple and Quintuple platinum albums. The movies the t.v. shows the dolls! But, what comes at the price the intense microscope, Brandy even coped with an eating disorder at the height of her fame. Not even feeling beautiful! Brandy is the epitome of coming out on the other side triumphant. This is more about how we expect young women to perform for us. To be pure to be good! Whatever that means. Not only did Britney suffer from our expectations so did Brandy!
Robert is a mess for playing along then exposing her.
Its chess ♟️ not 🚫 checkers ‼️🤷😅
Lol. I wonder why he went along when / for as long as he did.
Fatonya L mitchell no he made himself look clownish and no one knows who he is to this day, meanwhile brandy is still a legend 🤷🏾♀️ he played himself like a 🤡
@@strwbrybabyg245 PERHAPS he likes the back ground ‼️ like myself and Brandi need just worry about the person she Killed while drunk 🍺 driving ‼️..... Not 🚫 a good look... That's 1 thing he has on her his soul Isn't tarnished ‼️ Eitherway best life positive WISHES for all parties 🎉 involved
@@fatonyalmitchell3281 girl bye
So he didn't want to talk about the dirty laundry but he aired it anyway? He was clearly in his feelings.
She was trying to make him look bad. She's saying in interviews that she was never in love with him. That's making him look like a fool
@@l9ikjam no it doesn’t make him look bad & then it all goes on how you display it to the public. She was never harsh with her words, didn’t sound angry she was just saying how she felt. He on the other hand got in his feelings & let the ego get in the way, went straight to the most messy gossip person Wendy Williams & then had the nerve to later say he doesn’t want their dirty laundry to be all in the media when he went to the media about the situation first. He made himself look weak
@@tiaraw872 so being in a marriage for years and your wife telling everyone that she was never in love with him, didn't make him look bad? She wanted to tell everyone you wasn't in love but didnt want to tell them that she was in a fake marriage
@@l9ikjam per him, Brandy was a jump off and he already had someone else pregnant at the same time. So calling someone a jumpoff definitely was demeaning, when Brandy was way more respectful with her words.
@@cadillacdeville5828 she should have never started talking.
She didn’t want to ppl to know she had a child out of wedlock to keep up her clean image so she lied and she’s married. I hate that she felt like she had to do that because she didn’t want to disappoint her fans and their parents. :(
Brandy is am amazing Singer/Actress and nothing nobody could ever hurt her career, she's one of the Top performers who people love to watch and we're super proud of her no matter what ❤️Her daughter is a great plus,we love her too 💋🎶🎵
I believe most of this was Sonia’s fault. She always seemed to care about Brandy’s brand and not Brandy the person. But treated Ray J totally different. I watched their old reality show they had back in 2010-2011 and Brandy literally said this and had to talk with her about it. Ray J got to be messy all he wanted and didn’t get the same backlash as Brandy did. By Sonia AND the media. I’m just saying this shouldn’t make people turn their back on her or something like that. Doesn’t take away from the impact she had.
This was bad but I still love her and want her to truly find true love soon.
BEST comment..I couldn't understand why Brandy had to be picture perfect and Ray J was screwing all over the place..did Sonia not care or was she just putting the energy into the child who was making it big...it's crazy frfr...🤦🥴
it was the scorned lover’s fault who couldn’t shut up bc of pride. stop it. she was protecting her daughter like everyone else in the industry did. it was too salacious with her brand to have a baby young out of wedlock. that is the fact of the matter. i was a PR major. you just don’t understand.
and also stop denying we live in a man’s world. the standards are different for men and it is what it is. sad but true. brandy had a different brand than him. you sound like you live in a fantasy world and you’re very naive.
Lakenya Lawson bc you’re also naive and ignorant. the standards are different for me. sonja did the most logical PR thing for the time. it’s the fuckboy’s fault for being prideful and opening his big mouth
@@strwbrybabyg245 why are you being so angry
Brandy has a *gorgeous* speaking voice
“ I prefer not to air out our dirty laundry” how in the world can he say that when HE WENT TO THE MEDIA FIRST FOR NO REASON! If she was just a “jump off” why go along with the plan to begin with? Why be mad that she said she wasn’t deep in love with you when y’all were “together” if she’s just a “jump off”??? 🤦🏽♀️no wonder he’s irrelevant now. Celebrities have lied about way bigger things so I never cared
He probably went along for money and her overbearing mother forcing him to do it.
@@pn6528 naw I can see her forcing her daughter but you can’t make no man that’s not blood do what he did.
@@tiaraw872 He probably thought he was gonna get something out of it like money or his name out there for other artist to want to work with. Brandy actually went to the press first about their relationship he said what he said in retaliation but it was stupid because if the relationship was fake why do you care
He was acting like a child throwing a tantrum because she was saying what she felt
Clearly, he was being a jerk because he was hurt and mad. Guys are so petty that way.
Just like in their old reality show, Brandy said that Ray J is her mom’s favorite and he gets away with a lot and their mom, Sonja does nothing about it.
I knew it was Sonia’s idea.
It was ridiculous how people kept asking them why they kept the marriage a secret and they painted themselves in a corner with this scripted story.
Right, like just tell the truth!! Fans will respect you more!!
@@jennifernabrahamable I think she started to realize that the lie was a mistake, that she wasn't ruined. Getting pregnant is a natural thing and not a "sin," and I could see that she was tired of the whole facade, but was backed into a corner.
She was young and moving too fast. It’s ok we all make mistakes. Love you Brandy
we be fake married too, brandy
😆
🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Truuuuuth
It's sad she felt she had to lie.
i understand why she would fake a marriage because she was preggers and didn't want people to judge her
Her public life IS NONE IF OUR BUSINESS this girl gave us timeless hit and healed broken hearts…let’s give her her flowers now…she’s iconic and played a major roll in my teens years!!!she still human!!!THANK YOU BRANDY🥰🤩💯
I didn’t realize how big of a Brandy fan I was until I watched this video. Lol I even remember being so excited to see her pregnancy special.
That was quite a shady situation lol.
Indeed
I hate how the media and people are so up in peoples business.
Got to find something to talk and gossip
I know but I'm nosy by nature. I know it's wrong but when my neighbors are beefing I just "happen" to water my yard. I should be ashamed of myself... but I'm not. I only tell the neighbors' business to people in my house or my mama
@@mzgreenjeansapproves lol so what do you do when people get into your business?
@@brittmar538 I'm boring so basically my business is old news 🤦🏿♀️ if someone makes up something then I get super petty. I'm a scorpio soooooo it's not pretty and I do a deep dive into their business like I'm an old school journalist.
Let the past be the past, we forgave Brandy 😹😹
Lol rite I never was mad at her she still was my bae
Exactly 💯
Alicia Keys on the other hand 😑😑😑😑
@@cadillacdeville5828 lol I still like Alicia Keys I don't like what she did tho but if Mashonda can forgive/be sister wives we can forgive too 🤣
There was really nothing to forgive her about tbh it’s just a situation that became public but has no affect on us at all
Can we talk about the cultural reset that was Full Moon. Completely different sound for music , ughhh I stan.
While watching Brandys show on her pregnancy journey my mom and I stated that we didn’t think they were married because Robert always seem to be be so disconnected
the last clip with ray j and princess love and hip hop pool scene gets me every time 😭
😹😹
OMG I remember watching that documentary when it came out! And I remember thinking that her husband/baby daddy wasn’t a good fit for her. He was sort of goofy and detached from her during the documentary 😭
Facts we low key knew even though we were “kids” lol but it was definitely obvious
Exactly they didn’t even have any chemistry during the documentary. He seemed very detached.
@@BeautyisHerName692 and they never showed the baby’s face. This is so crazy because I definitely remember this documentary 🤣🤣
I had no idea it was all a hoax all this time. I thought it was just one of those Solange shotgun weddings because of the pregnancy 🤣🤣
I was a teenager I felt the same way he was very detached and disinterested
Brandy's story illustrated the need to project a perfect image that's really a facade. The people around her seemed to only care about upholding the image and not about her actual feelings in the matter. I remember watching the show and even then I saw no real chemistry between them. She went to surprise him at the studio on one episode and he seemed annoyed that she was there. Not like a husband who is happy to see his pregnant wife. When they toured the birthing suite he was on his phone the whole time, again not the reaction of a happy, expectant father and husband. I pray that she found peace and will find true love. She's done well with her daughter and that's a blessing in and of itself.
I rather her have lied, then to really have married Robert. There was a reason she put on this act as opposed to actually getting married.
You can tell how much she was lying because every time they asked, she kept rocking side to side nervously. She couldn't give a date because she knew lmfaoo
her album after this was fire. but it seemed like. She wasn't popular that much. I still rocks with afrodiscisic.
Afrosidiac is a classic song, my gosh
Yes Afrodisiac was definitely slept on
To be honest I think Brandy just had a hard time transitioning from teen star to adult because people were so stuck on her being Brandy the teenager, on top of this scandal and her not working with Rodney Jerkins anymore
A bomb album. Unfortunately radio was changing at that time so it didn’t get the praise it deserved.
The amount of pressure that was placed on her at such an early age is insane. I’m sure it had long term effects on her. Brandy is a legend, and I hope she understands just how much she has impacted the culture! This queen deserves her flowers.
The fact that he put her on blast speaks volumes about his personality!
“I prefer not to air out our dirty laundry to the media”…. So that’s why he went to Wendy Williams of all people 💁🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️. He definitely didn’t need to say anything about it. Granted her mom was going overboard with having her go through with it, but still. Side note: Wasn’t the whole “no navel” showing thing a slight dig at Aaliyah’s image back then?
I think Monica cause they did beef with each other.
I feel bad for Brandy. She seemed to really want a happily ever after and she’s now given up hope on it. I hope one day she can still get that dream wedding.
The fact that this “Christian family” boldly created and went on a tour spreading this lie is crazy to me.
Crazy madness lol
