Brandy Reveals The Actress She’d Cast In Her Biopic
According to BET, the singer sat down for a recent interview with A24. During the conversation, Brandy was asked who she’d cast to play her in a biopic or film about her life.

“There’s a few people that come to mind,” she explained. “But off the top of the dome… Halle Bailey.”

During the sitdown, the singer also shared her biggest pet peeve, her favorite childhood TV, and other facts about herself.

Check out her comments below.

According to the outlet, this isn’t the first time Brandy has shared her admiration for Bailey. In 2020, the singer sat down with Billboard and remarked on Bailey being the first Black actress to play Disney princess Ariel in ‘The Little Mermaid.’ To note, Brandy previously made history as being the first Black actress to play Disney princess Cinderella.

“I believe that her staying true to herself is the reason why she’s in a great position to do all of the things that she’s meant to do,” she said of Bailey. “… I just wish her all the best I absolutely love Halle and… I see so much of myself in Halle.”

Ray J Recently Brought His Sister Brandy Into Headlines
At this time, neither Bailey nor Brandy have reacted to the internet’s discourse. However, in April, Ray J hopped online to bring his sister’s opinion to the public while showing off his new face “tattoos.”

As The Shade Room previously reported, Ray’s new look sparked concerned reactions from social media users. Furthermore, he shared that his sister Brandy was not feeling his appearance.

“My sister hit me and said, ‘Yo, your last post that you posted — like, take that s**t down,’” he recalled, per The Shade Room. “… She said I didn’t look clean. I look dirty… So I took it down. You know what I’m saying?”

Soon after Ray’s comments about Brandy, he revealed that his ink was indeed fake.
