fan of his music now keep in mind W was born on July 29th 1973 and Brandy was born on February 11th 1979 this means they have close to a 6year age difference what happened is we actually you know she became kind of like my little Protege you know what I mean so anyway one went on to say he was the one who helped her snack the role on the 1993 sitcom Thea when the show first premiered in September of that year Brandy was 14 and W was 20 but he insisted that they were just friends in 1994 bry's debut self-titled studio album was released which included the song brokenhearted the album was certified quadruple platinum in the US and sold 6 million copies worldwide the following year 15-year-old Brandy and R&B group Subway were the opening acts on boys to men's national tour when it came time for Brandy to introduce herself to the world I'm the one that actually put her on the boys to Mentor okay so she was with me you know she was my friend during her Behind the Music episode Brandy said while on tour she fell in love with W who was 21 by that point because she was so young she was afraid to share her feelings but one day she said she finally found the courage to speak up she said I just told told him that I loved him and thanked him for making me feel the way I feel because I had never felt that way before they became a couple and Brandy told Behind the Music I was on a high it was love it was real love now he need his ass beat they kept their romance a secret but she said at some point she told her mom what was going on unsurprisingly Sonia wasn't pleased with the age difference her mother was definitely you know a part of our relation a very her mother and father was a part of our relationship they allowed me to to guide Brandy and to help her through her career they understood that we had grown close and that's what it was you know what I'm saying while still on tour together w got his hands on a copy of bry's debut album he really fell in love with the song brokenhearted and suggested that they turn it into a duet they did and the remix was released in August 1995 years later blogger Hollywood Street King revealed that Brandy reportedly got pregnant according to the Blogger Randy allegedly terminated the pregnancy we were unable to confirm if this information is true but we're going to call Cap I see what you did there bestie trying to cover your ass ain't you I don't blame you girl I don't blame you Brandy was bitten by the acting bug once again and in January 1996 she became the star of moisha my mom and I wrote the the theme song to The Brandy show so Brandy and I were really really close months later in April 1996 NBA bound High School senior Kobe Bryant met Brandy at the Essence Awards Kobe's mom told the Philadelphia Daily News that Kobe came home from the event and said I met such a nice beautiful intelligent sweet person according to e- news Kobe wanted to ask Brandy to be his date for prom but he was a little shy one of his high school classmates told the Philadelphia Inquirer that Kobe would bring a teen magazine to class and it had a picture of Brandy in it every day he would say I'm going to bring this girl to prom and his classmates told him he was crazy eventually he asked someone in the industry to contact Brandy when she received the call on Kobe's behalf she told the Philadelphia newspaper I thought he was cute I read about him after I met him and then I saw he was going somewhere in life and I thought I would love to go to the prom with him she said she had to ask her mom first but W later said in an Instagram live session Kobe Bryant was in was was graduating from high school that year Brandy was my girlfriend and her mom and I we both made it so that Brandy was ever was able to go on tour I mean on on uh the prom with Kobe Bryant since she was still dating w at the time it's likely that she used the prom for PR purposes since all eyes were on Kobe and it was an excellent way for Brandy to bring some attention to moisha in May 1996 she accompanied Kobe to his high school prom after the dance they went out for a late dinner and Brandy later told the Philadelphia Daily News I pecked him twice his lips were soft say what now what in the mot toown Philly is going on here so was Brandy lying or was she cheating on W we're unsure but we do know that she and Kobe attended the premiere of the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie eraser in the summer of 1996 and Kobe made his acting debut on a September 1996 episode of moisha right before he made his debut with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1997 and Kobe's dad Joe Bryant told People magazine that Brandy and Kobe were just friends Joe added she comes to the games and she's friends with his sisters but it's nothing romantic you don't know you don't know what them kids be doing Joe as we all know Kobe went on to marry Vanessa in 2001 despite some bumps and a separation they remained married until his untimely 2020 passing still determined to keep her real relationship a secret Brandy told V magazine that Kobe was cute but she said she had her sight set on someone else that someone else was most likely her secret boyfriend W of course bry's relationship with her mom Sonia became extremely strained while she was dating W in an interview with VI magazine Sonia revealed that one of the biggest issues Brandy has to this day is her belief that Sonia stood in the way and never allowed bry's relationship with W to Blossom maybe cuz your ass was a teenager and you was dating a 20s something year old man maybe that was what problem was Brandy meanwhile R&B singer Adena Howard who was also bry's label mate was still writing the success of her debut studio album do you want a ride which included the song Freak Like Me Adena headed back to the studio to work on her second album and she connected with W despite Brandy being in the picture Adena and W started smashing see there Brandy Your Mama Know Your Mama knew he was too old for your ass W met Adena and it's on and popping when you meet Adena it's on Atlantic Records executive Sylvia Ron told Adena to focus on her career and to leave W alone however Aden didn't listen and she continued to allow W to smash her cheeks to Smither that sound fun as hell her behind the music that that you broke her heart cuz you fell in love with somebody else I mean you only fall in love with somebody you only fall out of love with somebody else if somebody makes you fall out of love this ninja got a lot of damn nerve he ain't trying to take no kind of accountability huh I guess you just slipped and fell off in it huh okay according to adena's unsung episode Wendy Williams discovered the messy love triangle so she called Adena Adena opened up like she normally would except for she has some Choice words in there for Sylvia and for Brandy well that pissed syvia off when Sylvia found out Adena was talking smack she canceled the release date of adena's second album that's what her ass get get to step Randy told Behind the Music that her 2-year relationship with W fell apart in 1997 after he fell in love with someone else that someone else was Adena of course while she was still dealing with the breakup Brandy still had to film episodes of moisha according to ABC the pressure to look perfect caused Brandy to stop eating her weight plunged to 105 lbs Brandy said it was destroying me but I looked great and that's what mattered for whatever reason a grown ass man dating a teenager didn't ruffle too many feathers back in the 9s and as more and more people became aware
