‘Borderline’ beauty Brandy has revealed a bout with depression nearly pushed her over the line, a predicament she says could’ve become her reality had it not been for her daughter, Sy’rai.
Details inside:
As she continues the promo run for her latest critically acclaimed LP, ‘B7,’ the GRAMMY winner hasn’t been shy about discussing matters related to mental health.
From new single ‘Borderline’ (and its accompanying music video seen above) to a song on the album titled ‘Bye BiPolar,’ she addresses the topic in ways like never before – a truth underscored in a recent interview with ‘People’ magazine.
Taking to the publication’s August 31st issue, B-Rocka revealed:
“I was a little bit lost eight years ago musically, creatively, spiritually,” she tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story, opening up about the highs and lows of child stardom and her battle with depression. “I had to pull myself together, I had to pull it all together and make it all make sense.”
When quizzed about her 2006 car accident that claimed the life of a 38-year-old woman, the GRAMMY winner opted not to decline specifically but did reflect on her state of mind around the time.
“I remember laying in bed super depressed,” she says. “I [told] myself, ‘So, you’re just going to go out like this? That’s wack. You have a daughter. If you can’t do it for yourself, do it for her because this is not the way to leave a mark in her life.'”
Though in a much better place now (even clarifying that she has not been diagnosed bipolar despite the song title on ‘B7’), she did make a chilling statement.
“If Sy’rai wasn’t here, I wouldn’t be either,” she says. “The place that I was in, it just felt like I wasn’t going to make it through.”

So nothing on her album B7 aka BFLOP dropping 179 spots off the charts?
She has multiple songs on her album that allude to her suicidal thoughts: Saving All My Love, Unconditional Oceans, Lucid Dreams, Borderline, Bye Bipolar. All have very deep lyrics and meaning. I encourage anyone who is a fan to really listen to the lyrics. I said it before and I’ll say it again, an amazing album that is so far, the best this year. In the past 5 years the top female pop/r&b are Lemonade-beyonce, Take me apart-Kelela, Solange and now B7!
Lies you tell. The album is a hot mess of a flop.
How did a Monica fan click on Brandy’s music……. Ohhhhh your another bootleg b****…
Zzzzz I can’t even finished the 1/3 of the album. Too slow & too boring….. feels like you are listening to the black lena de ray or over the hill version of Billie Ellish😴😴😴😴😴
Yea because songs that u can shake ur a** to on the dance floor are the only ones worth listening to. If ur only complaint is that it’s “too slow” then I am GLAD u don’t like the album because it shows that someone with such poor taste in music doesn’t appreciate quality. Up ur criteria homie!
kudos to you for riding so hard for Brandy but that final statement is a reach. She has every right to experiment with her sound but B7 is one big lullaby and definitely not among her best work. Pt 2 of the record is great but Pt 1 is a dread and Pt 3 is a bit boring.
That’s THEIR opinion just like you have yours! Ain’t no reach baby! B7 is getting critical acclaim.
Anything for attention. Ugly flop ass
Monica aka buggs bunny baldhead ass is not all that hunny, Brandy is way more exotic ..buggs bunny has not worked with half the people Brandy has from Whitney to Chaka Khan to Tony Bennett….. They don’t want buggs bunny 👯 Monica on thier name

STFU B****. Brandy is speaking and singing her truth. Why you’re mad the world will never know !
🤣🤣 Yet you have yet to address that tragic billboard drop of 179 spots for that garbage 🗑 album. This is now her 4th CONSECUTIVE FLOP ALBUM 🤣🤣
Why is it that Monica fans always make it to Brandy posts first? Doesn’t Monica have some pics for y’all to like on IG? Damn. Lol
Brandy stans rush over to Monica’s posts like hungry bugs all the time so what’s your point? at least Monica herself has never rehashed this stale beef publicly…
Why TF you lying!!! Monica posts on here barely get engagement but y’all flock to f****** Brandy posts like its nobodies business. Just look up & down the last 2 Brandy posts. Look at ANY recent Brandy post matter of fact. Full of MONICAS DOVES throwing shade and being f****** haters for no reason. Baby the receipts are right there!!!
I’m not big into B7 but I’m glad Brandy is back on the cover of big magazines. I hope she has left those dreadful days she speaks of behind her
Prayers to her and continued solace. Mental illness is real and I’m happy she’s talking about it. 🙏🏾
