Brandy has her new single, ‘Put it Down (Ft. Chris Brown)’, to promote but there is something more pressing on her agenda. Indeed, although the singer nabbed the cover of Ebony magazine alongside Monica to highlight her own projects, she decided focus on defending her brother Ray J.
Basically, Brandy believes that the media has been unfairly harsh against Ray J, especially after his sex tape with Kim Kardashian leaked. Read her plea for understanding in Ebony magazine below:
I know who he is. And I”m pissed off about some of the things I’ve been hearing. It really bothers me that [those are] the kind of things that people do for money.
He’s misunderstood. It’s one thing to have this image of [a ladies' man], but it’s another to become this other type of person that they’re trying to make my brother out to be. I know who he is. This is a man who loves his mama and his sister and his niece. Ray J loved Kim Kardashian. They were irresponsible with their–you know–but he loved her. For five years, he was with her.
In his mind and in the world’s mind, he was in my shadow for such a long time. To watch his sister become whatever I became and to not have that same path or that same way it happened for me; to be called ‘Brandy’s brother…’ To finally break out of it, you’re going to brag; you’re going to feel something about yourself. It’s not coming from a bad place, and I can tell you: Some of the shoes Ray J’s walking in, you’d take off immediately. You wouldn’t be able to handle the type of shoes he’s in.

WTF why do they continue to book these 2 as a 2 for one deal, for hey form some super group we have yet to be made aware of it mean damn brandy, I rather see u up there alone or next to someone with better music as of late!
Lol how to keep our sons safe…. What about our daughters ebony? What about the kids? Lol jk
They both look stunning. Nice!
They both look amazing…
I love Brandy and get why she is defending her brother. However, I can’t cosign it. Ray J has done some stupid stuff ie getting on the radio and bragging about punching Fab in the face. Plus he’s pretending like he didn’t know Whit was on that yayo. He gets a boy bye in my book. Anyhow, why are Brandy and Monica going everywhere together. I could see if the single was a hit but sadly it was not. They are better musically better apart than together now.
they look so good on the cover !
They both look great on the cover!
nice cover I just want Brandy to have a better wig

I know it may be hard to believe since you queens are so stuck on stanning and watching Basketball Wives’ ghetto antics week after week….but two successful females are actually FRIENDS in this industry! So just like when Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, or any other celeb friend is doing something, it’s relevant for the other. & IABTM may not have been a #1 single but we still associate that with the two of them so it’s relevant for the time being.
they both look stunning and Monica is styling her hair in the classic 90s style like she used to. Very nice! Ebony mag is so classy.
