Brandy’s Daughter Has Grown Up To Be Her Twin

Sy’Rai Smith inherited Brandy’s musical talent and her love of Beyoncé. As Sy’Rai told Vibe in 2022, Queen Bey has long been a part of her life. “I used to have this CD player in my room, and I would literally just listen to Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, and my mom,” she said. “I would go home and just sit there, and dance and have a brush in my hand and pretend I was on stage.

Brandy and Beyoncé, of course, both became household names in the ’90s. Now, there have been some whispers about the pair’s dynamic, but in 2017, the former took to Twitter to shut down any lingering feud rumors. “This is simply not the truth! Period,” she wrote. “I would never disrespect greatness, I’m too humble for that. Nothing else to be said.”

In September 2023, Sy’Rai and Brandy attended Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour in Los Angeles and documented the occasion on social media. They also brought the style, with Sy’Rai wearing a custom-made dress by Michy Milli and Brandy in a shimmering silver gown. “Thank you, my sweet girl, for taking your Mom out on the town,” she wrote on Instagram. This mother-daughter duo sure does quality time right.
