Brandy ‘couldn't say no’ to joining ‘Queens’

QUEENS, the Disney+ series, is set to document the reunion of the Nasty B ***** s – a hip-hop group from the ’90s – and Brandy is thrilled to have been cast in the role of Naomi, who is also known as Xplicit Lyrics.

She said: “Music is my first love so to be able to be a part of a show that is representing women empowerment and a ’90s legendary group – that’s never been done before.

“I felt like I could relate to my character Naomi, being a single mom, trying to balance everything even though she doesn’t do a good job at it. I did a way better job at it but, balancing, going after her dreams and having to raise a young daughter, that is something I can relate to and I just loved it.”

Brandy, 42, also shot to international fame in the ’90s, as she enjoyed success as a singer and as an actress.

And Brandy felt she simply could not turn down the opportunity to join the cast.

She told Entertainment Tonight: “The script was a page-turner – I expressed every emotion as I was reading and I just couldn’t say no to it.”

Brandy’s enthusiasm has been echoed by co-star Eve, 42, who plays rapper Brianna in the series.
