The viral video seen above making its means round social media over the weekend stems from the unique assertion that made headlines not too way back by Brandy’s wild baby brother, Ray J. The truth TV sensation acknowledged that Beyoncé attending The Boy Is Mine Tour on a number of events and making zero interplay with one of many two main women has began to really feel intentional. As everyone knows, Bey has been there in assist of her Future’s Little one bandmate Kelly Rowland, who’s the core opening act alongside a rotating lineup of revered vocalists together with Keyshia Cole, Coco Jones, Muni Lengthy, American Idol winner Jamal Roberts and fellow ’90s modern R&B queen, Mya.
Some have argued that Beyoncé isn’t required to do something besides benefit from the present, very similar to Brandy did a couple of years prior when she attended The RENAISSANCE World Tour along with her daughter, Sy’Rai, on Beyoncé’s forty second birthday at that. Others really feel like pettiness may be at play given her willingness to pose it up backstage with the opposite star of the tour, Monica.
Satirically sufficient, there’s a number of decades-worth of photos exhibiting Beyoncé and Monica being as pleasant as one would count on from trade friends of the identical period.
Given that every one this began over a easy {photograph}, it’s fascinating to find that in nearly three many years of being in the identical trade and having a handful of mutual pals, significantly Kelly Rowland, you’d be hard-pressed to seek out one good picture of Beyoncé and Brandy in the identical room collectively. We tried and got here up at finest with the photograph seen beneath, captured on September 3, 1998 backstage on the Woman of Soul Awards in Los Angeles.
On the time, the 19-year-old By no means Say By no means singer might be thought-about the larger star of the 2, co-hosting the occasion alongside LL Cool J and the now-disgraced Brian McKnight. Nevertheless, it was Beyoncé because the lead vocalist of Future’s Little one, sooner or later shy of her seventeenth birthday, who ended up a giant winner of the evening by nabbing three awards as a gaggle for the mixed efforts of their R&B chart-topper debut single, “No No No,” and sleeper hit self-titled debut album. It could be the primary of many accolades to come back within the instant years following for her quartet, who quickly grew to become a trio earlier than she lastly branched out as a solo star in her personal proper.
Brandy however moved the needle barely past her quadruple platinum 1994 self-titled debut and aforementioned sophomore success in 1998, the 79th best-selling album of the Nineties for going quintuple platinum in simply over a yr no much less. After the 2002 launch of her fan-favorite third providing, Full Moon, the Moesha star’s profession suffered a notable decline that coincided satirically sufficient with Beyoncé’s rise because the top-selling feminine artist of the 2000s.
As the talk will get boiling scorching amongst followers on each side, some even going low by arguing who the true Vocal Bible is, we will solely hope a flick of those two pops up on the ‘Gram in some unspecified time in the future within the instant future — for the sake of Ray J, not less than!
