I LOVE Brandy! Like love, love, LOVE her! And I love the joints that Rodney Jerkins and her did together. But I would really like to know what is the TRUTH between them 2 being so distant all these years... I remember stuff in the press from Brandy voicing what happened during the "Human" era... but idk... I believe its something more or deeper... She's since praised him and he has too but from a distance. I do agree, Brandy has definitely held her own after him. She has indeed made bangers after Rodney but most singers usually reconnect somewhere again down the line.... even if it's for 1 song...

Janet was with JD for long period of time for like 2 or 3 whole albums i believe but if you look it up, there are production credits on those albums from Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. But they weren't as praised (or even at all) on those albums like they were with her on her others albums for some odd reason... People think JD exclusively produced those albums for Janet.

It's also the same with Beyonce and The Dream... People probably thought she had a WHOLE new team for the Lemonade album but no, he definitely has production credits on there too...

So I just don't understand it. Their relationship at this point seems slightly "cordial" and idgaf HOW much they praise one another from distance. People who are true fans knows that Rodney was like family to her. So my eyebrow has always been raised at their dynamics over the years... It's weird.
