Brandy Norwood

R&B singer and songwriter Brandy Norwood took the world by storm in the ’90s. She reached stardom for releasing Missing You, The Boy Is Mine, and Almost Doesn’t Count, among many other music hits. She also ventured into acting and starred in the sitcom Moesha. Brandy is Ray J’s sister and Snoop Dogg’s first-degree cousin.

On June 16, 2002, Brandy gave birth to her only child with producer Robert “Big Bert” Smith,  which she later said that she only did out of the “pressure of having to be perfect”. She was 23 at the time. However, a year after they welcomed Sy’rai Iman Smith, the two called it quits. Now, Sy’rai is all grown up and is a college girl. The proud mom Brandy revealed that her daughter is also a musician, proving that talent runs in the family.
