[@dejavu6345]

There is nothing more beautiful than a daughter that admires her mother.

[@QueenNile]

I agreed

[@promostk]

Aww amen to that❤

[@nathalieduverna6963]

Mothers are our first Goddess 🌹

[@yolandawrightklosterman3581]

Agreed

[@kissit012]

And a mother worth admiring

[@RealityOfItIs]

I love the fact that Brandy never tried to use her daughter to further her fame and fortune, she protected and took good care of her.

[@Kevinschart]

remember when brandy faked a whole marriage because she was embarrassed about having a child out of wedlock? ahh, good times

[@emmanuelsiempre295]

@@Kevinschart is there forgiveness for her?

[@Kevinschart]

@@emmanuelsiempre295 Of course. I just think Katrina is misrepresenting the history of brandy that's all. Brandy and Erykah Badu were my first musical crushes. I have nothing but love for Brandy.

[@emmanuelsiempre295]

@@Kevinschart cool I understand

[@theTruthSeekerishere]

@@Kevinschart it wasn't that she was embarrassed or ashamed, people used to treat celebrities that weren't married and were pregnant terribly. She was trying to protect her brand. If you loved Brandy you wouldn't put out such animosity.

[@gladnessamadi3020]

She’s absolutely gorgeous got her mommas smile for sure😍

[@p.gizzle90]

And she also kinda look like her gma. Esp in the eyes area.

[@promostk]

Yes she does. A cross between her mother and uncle ❤

[@felitaluckett1194]

Yes. She is so beautiful 😍

[@irenerobinson6669]

You hit hammer right on the nail.

[@breemack7503]

She also looks like her dad.

[@DamnDemi]

Growing up in South Africa, & seeing your mother in Cinderella, hearing my siblings play her CD's, watching her in Moesha... Your mother is a living legend. 👏🏼

[@christophercatchings162]

Awww this made my heart smile. I'm sure Sy'rai will make her own unique mark on the industry the same way artist like Lalah Hathaway and Kierra Clark Sheard have despite their established parents.

[@ajaycbaby8837]

Kierra Sheard Kelly is always compared to her mother and she actually sounds more like her aunts Twinkie and Dorinda than Karen. It is a little irritating because she has her own sound and alot of people do not give her her flowers. Kierra is legendary.

[@kierah16]

Agreed.

[@jimmiehelenbarneschickb8342]

I love the part when Sy'rai told her classmates or others who teased her that her mom and uncle were Brandy & Ray J, famous, rich & all that! Now go bully others on your level. Sy'rai isn't having it. Good Luck young lady.

[@justinebrown5693]

Not just a star but a SWEETHEART.

[@nataliegraham3287]

Her admiration for her mom is everything 🔥🔥🔥she definitely knows what she wants!

[@bridgetmakafui8533]

I just love Sy’rai . Her and Brandy’s relationship is so admirable.

[@Blue-gx9lo]

I love her Voice, want to hear more lol , I been saying her name wrong her whole life 😂😂.Smh

[@michaiahmonson6951]

I love Sy’rai’s mannerism. Such a sweet, humble energy. Her parents have done well. ❤

[@CUZN1]

I love her soft bubbly disposition, she has such a purity in her voice and perspective

[@drtash21]

It still trips me out that Brandy has a teenage daughter when she looks like she could still play college age Moesha if they did a reboot.

[@joshuamcdowell9745]

I think Sy'Rai is 20 now

[@mikelyn1035]

She’s definitely grown

[@quasar4472]

Brandy ages slowllyy! I swear she looks the same since Moesha!

[@ajayjames5198]

She is 20 now..

[@Monii4251]

Her smile is everything. Even when she isn’t smiling it’s like she is.

[@beautifulstar2119]

She smiles like her mom.

[@justlikethat228]

Her vibe, her energy, her so is pure and sweet go after your dreams !!!!

[@wyntonmohorn]

For the record, Sy'Rai doesn't have to sound like Brandy in her music. Sy'Rai just has to put out great music. Which Sy'Rai does. 🎶🎶🎶

[@DontCryDryYourEye_DaTruthHurts]

Thank you! Just like Willow Smith us nothing like Will! Willow’s music is really really good! She’s killing it in the Alternative/Indy rock genre.

[@shaylove5439]

Period

[@4eversteena]

She shares her mother's humility. Such a beautiful trait!!💕

[@fabier2404]

Brandy did a great job raising her daughter. Sy'rai is so grounded, respectful and loving. It's obvious she grew up in a healthy environment

[@brizy___]

She had a show where she gave birth to her. We knew about you, sis! 🤣 So pretty and talented like her mom. 🤩💕

[@shantebarze1068]

Yes! Brandy Baby Diary on Mtv & VH1 ...

[@laurencameron3150]

She said her mother RAISED her quietly which is true! Yeah a lot of us saw when she was born but she definitely disappeared after that! 😂

[@Walking_withGod27]

She never said no one knew her. She said she girl up quietly.

[@msbelindab5231]

Yes it was called Brandy and RayJ.

[@shakendriamurphy2302]

Lol I said the same thing I was like "girl you were born on national television.....???..." 🤣 love this girl tho she got my attention musically.

[@Just-Princess]

Ahhh! I remember when she was born on the MTV show. I'm not even old (30), but Sy'rai being so grown made me feel it just a bit 😂. Such a lovely, pure spirit. We support you mama!

She is drop dead gorgeous, intelligent and such a sweet spirit

[@chrisr.426]

She is so beautiful and has such a genuine spirit. I can see so much of her mom’s peaceful/joyful demeanor in her. Wishing her all of the success in her journey- being compared to her mom’s talent won’t be easy but having Brandy as her mom to coach/guide her is a huge win.

[@lifeis2171]

She’s black.. so she won’t make it too far. Needs to bleach her skin.

[@RocknRollDina]

she beautiful inside and out. So refreshing to see young person who is lovely and not obnoxious with clown makeup. Love her personality and how she smiles a lot

[@feliciawhite8190]
