Brandy, often referred to as the “Vocal Bible,” has finally responded to claims made by Shyne and Mase regarding their past alleged intimacy with her. After the two rappers, both nearing 50, made claims on a podcast about being “intimate” with Brandy simultaneously in the 90s, the internet largely dismissed their stories as “LAME.” However, Brandy has issued a strong statement refuting these claims, particularly those made by Shyne.
Denying Claims and Questioning Motives
Brandy broke her usual silence to release a statement that unequivocally denies any romantic involvement with Shyne. “In the late 90’s, I had a platonic friendship with rapper Shyne,” Brandy stated. “In an unfortunate turn of events, that friendship is now being mischaracterized as ‘we dated.’ Unequivocally, we did not!“ She questioned why Shyne would misrepresent a 20-year-old friendship into a fabricated romance. Notably, Brandy was specific about Shyne but remained silent regarding Mase’s claims, leading fans to speculate if his story holds more truth.
The singer’s silence on Mase’s allegations has fueled further discussion, with some interpreting it as a potential confession or acknowledgment of a different dynamic with Mase compared to Shyne.
Announcing Memoir ‘PHASES’ to Set the Record Straight
Brandy also took this opportunity to announce her upcoming tell-all memoir, titled “PHASES.” She expressed her desire to “debunk many of the misnomers” about her life and stated her intention to “name names and set the record straight once and for all.” If the memoir proves as spicy as her recent statement, the 90s hip-hop scene may need to prepare for some revelations.
The memoir is expected to delve into various aspects of her life and career, potentially addressing lingering questions and rumors that have followed her throughout her decades-long journey in the music industry.
Publicly Disavowing Brother Ray J’s Behavior
Perhaps the most surprising part of Brandy’s statement was directed at her own brother, Ray J. Following his recent “booty goon” rant where he threatened the podcasters with sexual assault, Brandy made it clear she does not support his actions. “While I love my brother Ray J, I don’t condone or support the messages he’s shared on social media and have not asked him to defend me in any form,” she wrote. This public disavowal suggests Ray J’s attempt to protect his sister backfired, leading to a public distancing from his behavior.
