Let’s work from the bottom up. Brandy Norwood has luscious legs. Word to those gray-bearded, trench coat-wearing Texans in ZZ Top. Who knew? Spending most of her decade-long career wearing more clothes than an Alaskan nun in January, the petite princess stripped down on her fourth album, Afrodisiac. “I wanted this to be the most honest album of my career,” she says, referencing the LP’s naked truth motif.
Like Shawn “Young” Carter in the twilight of his career, Ms. Norwood has also changed clothes, now opting for short skirts and two pieces. States Brandy: “I waited ‘til it was time to expose myself as a woman.” States KING: two pieces are great, as long as they’re not the kind Chris Childs exposed Kobe Bryant with.
Showing some love to the regular guy on the street:
“I feel like celebrities are more intimidated than regular guys. I’ve been around a lot of celebrity guys, and they’ve been intimidated by me. But you see a regular guy in the mall, and he’ll be like, “What up, Brandy? I wanna be down. I know you be sitting up in your room, but I wanna go somewhere with you.” There’s no shame in their game.”
Revealing the most taboo thing she has ever done:
“I keyed somebody’s car before. I know that it was wrong. But I had a very good reason to do it. I did it because I was tired of being hurt. It was the same guy’s [car] who called me a bitch, like 13 times. That was my revenge.”
Answering whether she would strip down for album salesor not:
“I’m good. I wouldn’t do that for a quadruple-platinum album. To keep my daughter alive, yes. I would just do the work for that album and still keep my class. People may feel that they’re forced to be over-the-top sexy, but there are people out there who do it tastefully.”
