Brandy is speaking out and setting the record straight after Shyne and Mase alleged that they dated her at the same time.
On Thursday, March 19, Brandy took to Instagram to share a lengthy message with her more than 6 million followers. Furthermore, she wrote, “In the late 90s, I had a platonic friendship with rapper Shyne. In an unfortunate turn of events, that friendship is now being mischaracterized as we dated. Unequivocally, we did not! Im not sure why an untrue narrative about a scope of what was a friendship more than 20-years ago is being reshaped during his current media interviews…”
As her message went on, Brandy explained that she’s releasing her own memoir, ‘PHASES,’ because it is “time” to tell her “truth.”
“Additionally, I rarely release statements and typically ignore stories about me in the headlines even when theyre false. But when I do decide to standup for myself, I handle things on my own. While I love my brother Ray J, I dont condone or support the messages hes shared on social media and have not asked him to defend me in any form…” she concluded.
Social media users reacted to Brandy’s statement about Shyne, Mase, and even Ray J in TSR’s comment section.
While Instagam user @planet_famous added, “No Brandy slander will be tolerated! We love our black Queens ”
As The Shade Room previously reported, Shyne recently appeared as a guest on Cam’ron and Mase’s ‘It Is What It Is’ podcast. During their conversation, Cam asked Mase if he ever dated Brandy, and Mase explained that he was “special” at one time. However, he added that Shyne also “wound up being special too.” Ultimately, Mase explained that he “let” Shyne be “special” to her.
Chiming in on the subject, Shyne appeared to confirm Mase’s recollection. But he alleged that he had no idea about Brandy and Mase’s relationship.
“We had a mutual friend who was a snitch but I was so excited, so I kept telling one of our mutual friends, and he was snitching me out. So Brandy was like, Yo! Who you told you here? How does so and so know that you here with me right now? And Im like, Aw, man,'” Shyne recalled.
Shyne’s statements led to Ray J threatening to slap the “daylights” out of him, Cam, and Mase.
