Brandy‘s career has been sitting on top of the world of late thanks to a number of major moves.
Indeed, the Vocal Bible has made headlines in recent months after signing on to star in the Broadway adaptation of ‘Chicago’ and for landing her own BET sitcom called ‘Zoe Moon.’
Now, it would appear a role on music drama ‘Empire’ is on the cards for the songstress (who is also working on a new album).
After teasing involvement in the Lee Daniels drama earlier this month, the singer all but confirmed her recruitment by joining the cast at the FOX Upfront presentation today.
The press event, which is held to tout the shows on the 2015-2016 schedules, is typically only attended by the talent on the programming being promoted. And per the snaps above and below, a roll-call of ‘Empire’s stars populated every pic B-Rocka featured in; stars such as Taraji P. Henson, Jussie Smollett, Jennifer Hudson, and Timbaland – who executive produces the music on the series.
Put simply, it’s highly unlikely Ms. Norwood was there for fun. Fingers crossed a formal announcement is made soon.
Pending then, peep more pics after the jump…
Bran slaying the acting gigs to unlike Mama I want to Sing or Glitter ????
B**** you Stan for a hit one wonder with a missing eye, a s*** has been and a big bird never been stfu
#22k
Ciara out here selling less than Tinashe so your one to talk????????????????
The Caesar fan is delusional kiii ^ you cant pay it too much mind
3 flop back to back albums for its fave has gotten to the creature ????
Please point me in the direction of Mister Ed Rowland’s platinum album b****
CiError whispering ass aint go platinum since 2006 b**** you probably wasnt even born then lol
KELLY NEVER WENT PLATINUM B**** LMAO
Oh, and it’s already been confirmed so haha!
What’s that, The Game final season, current Broadway gig with Chicago, and her own show Zoe Moon on the way, oh and now the confirmation of Empire! Oh and we simply can’t forget new music on the way, and more!
Starz stand up! Haters, stay tuned…
Stay tuned for what, her upcoming 4th consecutive flop.
@realistic According to who? For such a “flop” you sure had enough time to comment on a post about her.
Get a damn grip.
Flop. Her last hit the “Boy Is Mine” says hi.
@Realistic What is a hit? What standard are you using? R&B charts? Hot 100? #1’s, Top 10s, Top 20’s, Top 40?
Her last Top 40 Pop single was Right Here in 08, and she had a Top 10 R&B/Hip Hop single with 2012’s Put It Down. I’d say she’s not doing too bad, especially for an artist who doesn’t release annually. Any other questions?
Flop, no excuses.
@realistic dummy. no standard, no grounding. What ‘hitmakers’ do you stan for anyway?
Don’t answer that. #caseclosed
Your fav’s a flop, deal with it.
@realistic A so-called flop that you care about and are clearly checking for. Your damn life is a flop. Get it together. #fixitjesus
Flop.
She does seem to have a team who knows what the are doing. We shall see.
FLOP
@KRowldawg an APEly stan is trying to throw shade? Ha! That girl don’t even know what lane she wants to be in. Your fave will always be known as a poor-man’s beyonce. The shade wrote itself there. You may be seated.
MANdy will be Known as a poor mans E.T. Lol she hasn’t been hot since 1998 your dismissed
@KRowldawg You’re a damn smelly rowland stan. You’ve got some nerve trying to come for Brandy, of all people. Brandy outsold your fave’s career with ONE album darling, just ONE. You can’t say sh*t about no one. Kelly is only relevant when beyonce, or DC is brought up. Now sip on that truth, dumbass.
Now have a pile of rolling stone seats.
Not a f****** Kelly Rowland Stan coming for Ciara kii I can’t! Not when Kelly has zero platinum albums and her last gold album was in 2002!!! She couldn’t even sell when albums were selling! She couldn’t even sell with the #1 hit Dilemma! Ciara is more successful and beautiful than that horse b**** will ever be!!!
Motivation is more legendary then anything CiError have done sis. You need to sit this one out because Kelly had receipts while CiError has tumble weeds lol. CiError cant even sing
I caaaaaaaaant! Kelly is a lazy lessor who can’t sell unless Beyonce is involved. B**** sit your section 8 ass down #teamnoplatinumalbums #teamhorse
Promise and Ride disagree but okay. ????????
Good for you Bran. You could be a two album has been who’s beak is bigger than her “career” lip syncing scratchy bird calls a certain stan considers vocals, who is jealous of Beyoncè in a PTA meeting like some…

lmaooo hey sis 🙂
Brandy is a great actress but a flop singer.
She Sucks at both tbh
What’s Kelly Failureland doing these days?
@pretty iggy
And you being a fan of a rapper qualifies you to judge the talent of singers? Right, sit this one out hon.
@KRowldawg I guess Kelly’s life is a flop, because she’ll always been in beyonce’s shadow. Any questions?
Congrats. The real main R&B chick of the 90s.
Kelly and Aaliyah fans are so jealous of Brandy.. Is it because she has more money in the bank? Or is it because she sold more records?
@Brandnu I think it’s because she’s ALIVE and well you know, still booking sh*t 20+ years into her career. These people act like they don’t like Brandy but secretly they live for her.
#Starz stand up! Haters stay tuned…More to come!
Can’t be jealous of someone if they haven’t succeeded at anything since that “other girl” passed.
@Brian310 Brandy and Kelly are both successful in their own way. Their success is defined by themselves, not others.
13 years later, “Simply Deep In The Clearance Bin” STILLLLLL ain’t platinum!!! Kiii
Blank stare. Not a Ciara Stan talking about certification LMAO. Not only is she Aaliyah’s lesser, she’s also Brandy’s. Sit you bum b**** lol.
Blank stare. Not a Ciara Stan talking about certification LMAO. Not only is she Aaliyah’s lesser, she’s also Brandy’s. Sit you bumb b**** LOL.
Yes the f*** I am. Pressed, b****?
Lol The tea going around is that C-T***** is about to get dropped by her label, and her new man. Damn that 20k lol.
Kelly Rowland got a label yet b****? Kii
I’m far from a Kelly Stan, you T***** Stan Lol.
Honey you still claiming Jackie? Shouldn’t you guys be drawing up petitions and subpoenas for the remainder of the albums/records she was suppose to slay with this era? Don’t present yourself without a good backing sis. The phony hive that completed the squads newly found backbone deserted you all last week. Aaliyah will always remain much more relevant and cemented in the music hall of fame, while Ciara can only hope and pray that one of these trash bin collectibles take flight. ????????????????
Ciara is everybody’s lessor in the music industry lmaooo
OMG this is amazing! Finally a post where the comments aren’t all Beyonce v Rihanna!!!!!!!!!! Brandy v Aaliyah who’s the baddest b/tch?
This post is a mess! Congrats Brandy! She’s doing big thangs this year!
Big thangs popping!
What’s up yal, yal know I’m one of brandy’s biggest fans, so I’m going to certify this post with my words:……
…
…….
B-Rocka In the HOUSE!
I say B-Rocka in the HOUSE!
I B-Rocka ha ah ah ah ah ah shut ya mouth!
Yup, I’m so happy for her! Broadway, T.V shows, and she cooking up s*** in the lab?!?! Smh. Can’t no chick compare!
#Stars
LOL That was wack as f***. Stfu with your 90’s has been flop fav.
Is this who I think it is? The same MF that follows me on all my brandy & CiCi post? Smh lol. “Stop the press”? Lol. Change it to “I stayed pressed”. Cuz you mighty pressed.
O and I know you feeling my post. Thanks 😉
LOL Following you, your a name on a blog lol b**** you’re as delusional and weak as your fav’s head game lol.
Fool, you love me. & My name is on this post you commenting on. I bet I’m making your day. But I’m done wit you. Keep checking for my FAV like you been doing & like the rest of these bums.
I already know gone keep checking for me too but next time you might not be so lucky to get a reply.
#Duces ya bumb b****. 😉
I Don’t Stan for any artist I like who I like but it’s crazy how yall talk about Aaliyah the way yall do it’s crazy that girl not even here no more but Brandy is cool I still watch moesha to this day lol Ciara is idk Ciara I like her positive personality and Kelly is my girl I think she’s underrated at times, If she had the right people behind her starting as a solo artist I think she would be a bigger artist but she still doing her thing all them ladies are talented in their own right
@ANTMO Please! Go back and scroll up to the top of the comments section. It was an aaliyah stan who made the first comment. I don’t care if she’s deceased, if one of her fans tries it I’m gonna get them together. Can’t believe folks take so much sh*t from fans of deceased artists and expect folks to turn the other cheek to their nonsense.
K
Screaming at these Ciara,KellyRowland, and Aaliyah fans being so pressed. Yall mad your faves didn’t get the call to be on the hottest show on TV ?
It’s crazy. I just want to know why? Why are they bringing them up? Lol. This is about B-Rocka. Smh
you do know that aaliyah stan is a troll right? so yall can relax
I know I never get how other people names come up in these posts when it be specifically about one artist lol I really hope it be teenagers on this blog that be talking reckless I know no adults can’t be this immature lol thumb me down all yall want lol
Lol! Trolls Smh.
a Jason derulo stan lmaoooo get him a gold album please her don’t sell past 300k
@BeyRihLiyah Speaking for myself, but I don’t live on TGJ, I only post on here when they write articles about my faves. I don’t have time to know who’s a real or fake account on here. Even more, I do not have the time to troll the pages on here of artist I do not care for. That just reeks of bitterness, and that’s not a good look for these folks.
but what im saying is that was a troll account
@BeyRihLiyah Well, like I said I’m not on here, so I didn’t know. But thanks for clarifying. #dontfeedthetrolls
Honey you Stan for Jason DeruLOW enough said!!!
Is Jason too busy still being the White American version of Fist Brown? While selling even LESS albums than Fist?
She will bring down the ratings
@Mimi Carey girl please! As if people would stop watching just because brandy’s on there. Y’all better get the hate out now cause y’all are gonna get tired of seeing her quick! Lolz
Just like u bring down your mama’s EBT card payments
Brandy is and will ALWAYS be in demand not just because she is super talented but because her talent is respected and influenced so many others in the business. Lee Daniels and Jussie Smollet requested Brandy’s involvement in Empire. Broadway requested Brandy in Chicago. Whitney requested Brandy in Cinderella. Diana Ross requested Brandy for Double Platinum. Ralph Farquhar requested Brandy for Moesha. Peter Edge requested Brandy for Epic Records and LA Reid has requested her back this year. Mara Akil requested Brandy for Zoe Moon. Timbaland requested for Brandy to let him oversee Afrodisiac because she was the only other female r&b singer he wanted to work with besides Aaliyah at the time. See where I’m going with this?
@MUSICHEAD
You better fvcking PREACH!!!!!!!!
I done got the spirit!! #FuckWitIt!!!!!!!! Say that s***!
Omg, you better say this!!!!!!!!
I would never think 67krandy would have so many souls bothered. This chick is irrelevant to the core.
@Yonce She can’t be THAT irrelevant if mere mention of her appearances makes the f*** go bananas. You all better get your hate out right now, y’all bout to get really tired of seeing her, and i’m living for it! lolz
I agree with you
Smh..Make that 65k.
I’m glad y’all are keeping track of her 1st week sales as of late. What kinda fans? Hope y’all cop the album when it comes out. More to come!
Dis Ugly Flop B**** Is In The same Irralavent Boat As Maya,Christina Milian, Ciara, Ashanti And Monica. Flop A** B****** Could Never Compare 2 BabyGirl✌????
@Angel_AALIYAH and where exactly would that leave your fave? Haha, another pressed Liyah stan bites the dust. I see why y’all are mad. LOL
She remains praised and influential. #anymorequestions
That is another troll account.
B**** Fuvk You F*****. This Post Has More Comments Than Brandyke Has Album Sales #30Million
@Brian310 Same for Bran, 20 years later! Lol And are you a troll as well? Listen, I’m NOT like them,whoever they are. I don’t have time to babysit the post of an artist that I don’t like, especially with the encroachment on comments I made that weren’t even directed at certain people. That’s just so immature, juvenile, and I don’t have time for it.
@Angel_AALIYAH You’re probably not a real aaliyah stan anyways. Aaliyah was sweet, and a real lady, and actually had class and you…well…Don’t! Lolz Any other questions?
Don’t be mad because I responded to you trying to be shady…you asked about Aaliyah and I told you, she is praised and influencing others the only time I drag Brandy is when you tried my girl.
@Brian310 Boy, this post has nothing to do with aaliyah, so again why are you even here? It was an aaliyah stan tried it FIRST, that started all the sh*t. Go back to the top of the comment section and humble yourself!
It’s not my fault you can’t tell the difference between a troll and a legit poster anyone with common sense can see that if the 1st comment on a blog post is a hating comment 9/10 it’s a troll.
@Brian310 Sorry bro, I don’t live on this site, so excuse me if I’m unfamiliar with the protocol. Please don’t take my comments to heart, I don’t have anything personal against aaliyah. I read Brandy shade, responded and asked questions later.
Jennifer hudson thinks she’s the s*** kii sit yo sausage link ass neck down.
here we go with these stan wars and its the same people on here everyday with the same old late fake read flop is the only thing yall can say to call shady yall needs to learn how to read before u shade artist like brandy ciara beyonce or kelly rowland.
Aaliyah fans are nasty and tacky like the rihaids fans.
Aaliyah Was JayZ’s True Love. Beyonce Has F****** Hallitosis. Gtfoh Stank Breath!!!
TROLL!!!!!
Shut Up Brian I Ain’t No Troll Like Aaliyahstan
Your the same person as that Aaliyah stan account you clocked yourself
Dyin @ this brandy vs. Kelly vs. Ciara vs. Aaliyah stan wars. What makes it more funny is that they all are more successful and relevant than KerimeuptheHill! ????
I’m so happy for Bran! This woman is receiving so many blessings this year and she deserves them all. I don’t know why everyone allowed that fake Aaliyah stan to start up so much beef in this post. Knock on Norwood called it right from the door(in that 2nd comment)! Don’t let trolls win! Brandy and Aaliyah stans don’t even clash! That’s such a fail! #AlmostDoesn’tCount #TryAgain #WeNeedAResolution Both were sitting on… #TopOfTheWorld
I’m not here for stans of 2 talented artists bumping heads. Ya’ll need to stop falling for this s***! Both made their mark and have a lot of people that respected their artistry. Anyway, back on topic… I’m not a fan of Empire, but I will be on the look out for Bran on the upcoming season!
Bye She’s a Flop Deal. The Starz Are F****** Haters
Take a f**king nap already!
@royalkey
Always a pleasure to see your name on this site. You’re one of the most level-headed people on here. I don’t come on here much, so I don’t know who the trolls are.
@Knock
Thanks babe! I love seeing all the starz in these kinds of post excited for everything that Bran’s doing this year. It’s a great time for us! … As for these trolls, I don’t pay them any mind. They’re so random! I try keeping interaction down to a minimum with them.
thank you that “Aaliyah” stan is a big time troll one day its a “brandy stan” and another day its a “monica stan” they just want these 3 woman to get dragged
I’m sure it’s also a Keri and Kelly Ro stan too! I wish it would just sign on as troll!
It’s prolly your DUMB ASS….f****** pressed ass b****. Where’s American FLOPxygen on the charts??????????????
@Jackie but didn’t you get caught trolling hmmm what was your troll name oh yeah “NENE LEAKES stan” remember yall had matching avis :)thats why flopackie is selling less than basic flopstinct
What did I just walk into?
Anyways…
74.15%
— 12 CIARA JACKIE
EPIC 16,878
She still slays Lana though.
OK but Lana can
•sell 182K first week (which is more than Cedric’s last three albums sold in their entire runs; Jaquan will be lucky to sell half of that in TOTAL)
•get her albums certified in the US and worldwide
•sell out amphitheatres and arenas worldwide while Cedric is still doing nightclubs 11 years into his career
•have impact (literally every “indie/alternative-pop” girl is a direct clone of Lana, see: Borde, Banks, Ryn Weaver, Zella Day, the list goes on)
Only right. Great fit.
Lmao why are you guys dragging Brandy “Aka Skeletor” like that?
SCREEEEAAAMING @ this mess on the comments. Yaaaasss @ that nasty multiple account troll Brandy stan getting dragged. I’m definitely more excited about having Brandy on Empire than JHud or Rita.
Brandy is so underrated as a true artist..her album Human was one of the greatest album out there….
I’m glad she is still working after all these years..
monica also is so underrated…
dead at people coming for Ashanti..Ashanti may not have the best voice in the game..but the majority of her music were solid
people forget ashanti was beyondfake huge competition back in the day…..
I’m talking about music wise….meaning for the slow a** people..ashanti always had the better music..beyondfake had smoke and mirrors
as for Aaliyah….there wouldn’t be a beyondfake if she was still alive..joe camel was obsessed with her..
Umm…I need to see your receipts for Ashanti being Beyonce’s competition because Ashanti pretty much fell off as soon as Beyonce dropped her first album. Ashanti only had 1.5 years of pop stardom.It was all down hill after 2003.
Damm! This post is messssssssssy!
It’s refreshing to see a stan war that has nothing to do with the Hive and the Navy.
Good for brandy
Why when anything good happens for an artist there are over 100 comments of arguing over whose better?
The girls are bitter on here, There really gonna pull their hair out whens shes on T.V slaying there favorite shows every week, DEAL!!
