QuoteUrbanBridgez.com: Our readers have to hear your story about breaking up the argument between Brandy & Adina Howard over Wanya, where was this and what happened?
Ivan Matias: You're really digging into the vault here (laughs)! Brandy had been dating Wanye back in the day & he was a P.I.M.P. Boys II Men were on top & Wanye was the toast of the town. He was also messing with Adina Howard as he and Brandy were on & off as most young couples do. We were at a video shoot for Michael Speaks who was label mates with Brandy, Adina Howard, Ray J & YoYo who were all scheduled to make cameo appearances in his video. I was visiting the set with friends of Adina. The vibe of the shoot was tense. As we entered, we ran right into Adina at the back of the theater/club venue. The director was yelling & clearly upset because they'd been undermining his authority all day. The director told the artist that the shot wasn't working & his table of friends didn't have enough flavor. The director turned to the back of the club, pointed at me and yelled "yall need someone like him. Sit him at your table. I need him in this shot." Everyone turned to where Adina & I were standing with her Entourage. Before I could react; Michael Speaks & entourage protested. "He's an artist from another label. We can't have him in this shot!" Director called for a break. All the hoopla caused everyone to notice Adina in the back of theater. Out of nowhere, Brandy appears in the vicinity. I don't remember who initiated the exchange but one of them asked to "have a word" with the other. They took a few steps away from where we were standing. Brandy asked Adina if she was messing with "her man" to which Adina responded something to the effect of "If he's your man, what's his number doing in my phone?" Brandy, not missing a beat said something like "Well let me call him so you can ask him?" A phone was pulled out; a few of "this bitch" were exchanged. As it began to escalate, A few of us went & pulled Adina away because it appeared to be on the brink of a physical altercation. I must say Brandy was pretty gangsta! Moments later Ray J showed up wit a motorcycle smashing it! Michael Speaks & his people were hating on Ray because he was out shining them & they didn't want him in the video either. That was enough for the Norwood camp. no Ray J, no Brandy. They left the shoot...and so did we.

on working with Aaliyah:

QuoteIvan Matias: Thanks! 1: Working with Aaliyah was great. She was a good friend & one of the few genuine, unaffected people I've come across in the industry. We partied from NY to LA at industry events, chilled at her house, shopping, crashed each others hotels & sang each others tunes. I would sing "Are You That Somebody" from the Doctor Dolittle soundtrack & she'd sing "Dolittle Things" my duet with Changing Faces. She used to say it was one of her mother's favorite songs on the soundtrack. She was very close with her younger brother Rashad who is much like her in terms of cool, laid back personality & was often with her when we'd link up. They remind me of my older sister & I. She used to lecture me about smoking & ruining my voice early on. We recorded a song that was never released & that's how we met. People don't give her credit for being a great vocalist because she made it sound easy. Her vocal style was sick! I love an artist with a distinctive style that can take my song to another level with their own interpretation or change the attitude of the song for the better. Aaliyah was hands down my favorite artist/person in the industry that I've had the pleasure of knowing. I remember walking into the "Romeo Must Die" private screening to meet a friend. Aaliyah was in the back of the theater with brother Rashad & a few friends. Everyone else was seated toward the front of the theater. I heard someone calling me from the back. It was baby girl Aaliyah. She called me over & insisted I sit by her & Jay-Z. That's the type of person she was. That's how Hollywood Aaliyah wasn't! I've known many artists early in their career. They will walk past you like they don't know you years later. She wasn't that way. Aaliyah was the same person the first day we met that she was the last time we hung out

QuoteBrandy appears in the vicinity. I don't remember who initiated the exchange but one of them asked to "have a word" with the other. They took a few steps away from where we were standing. Brandy asked Adina if she was messing with "her man" to which Adina responded something to the effect of "If he's your man, what's his number doing in my phone?" Brandy, not missing a beat said something like "Well let me call him so you can ask him?" A phone was pulled out; a few of "this bitch" were exchanged.

BITCH!!!  :gorlonfire:


This is a good ass READ.  :gorlonfire:


Breathe is one of my fave songs. I need to hear the unedited version Blu sang.

"Blu Cantrell "Breathe". I was already a fan but Blu. She on a stool (which a singer should never do unless you're super dope) a sing her face off. She needed no direction. I have a version that was never released where she sang the devil outta that song. The label made us re-record some of the vocals to "dumb down" her vocal to make it more accessible. She was a character."

In the 90s remember all of the "rumors" of her being a bitch and fighting with countess and everything lol sis was like don't let this pop image fool you . I love that back then there was no social media so everything was tucked under the rug and what happened behind closed doors was just rumors.

and yeaaah I always thought he was too old for her even back then ..and how they pretended not to date until she was 18 lol right ....

I think sis still regrets not fucking her up lol but honestly Brandy gives me that she had a slick ass mouth and was cocky and not afraid but I doubt she could actually fight lol the girl was bullied throughout school. I think she just spoke her mind and wasn't scared to read a bitch and they couldn't take it .

This is a good ass READ.  :gorlonfire:


Breathe is one of my fave songs. I need to hear the unedited version Blu sang.

"Blu Cantrell "Breathe". I was already a fan but Blu. She on a stool (which a singer should never do unless you're super dope) a sing her face off. She needed no direction. I have a version that was never released where she sang the devil outta that song. The label made us re-record some of the vocals to "dumb down" her vocal to make it more accessible. She was a character."

This part of the Brandy story has me shaking

QuoteBrandy appears in the vicinity. I don't remember who initiated the exchange but one of them asked to "have a word" with the other. They took a few steps away from where we were standing. Brandy asked Adina if she was messing with "her man" to which Adina responded something to the effect of "If he's your man, what's his number doing in my phone?" Brandy, not missing a beat said something like "Well let me call him so you can ask him?" A phone was pulled out; a few of "this bitch" were exchanged. As it began to escalate, A few of us went & pulled Adina away because it appeared to be on the brink of a physical altercation. I must say Brandy was pretty gangsta! Moments later Ray J showed up wit a motorcycle smashing it! Michael Speaks & his people were hating on Ray because he was out shining them & they didn't want him in the video either. That was enough for the Norwood camp. no Ray J, no Brandy. They left the shoot...and so did we.
Ghan was ready to BOX

on working with Aaliyah:

QuoteIvan Matias: Thanks! 1: Working with Aaliyah was great. She was a good friend & one of the few genuine, unaffected people I've come across in the industry. We partied from NY to LA at industry events, chilled at her house, shopping, crashed each others hotels & sang each others tunes. I would sing "Are You That Somebody" from the Doctor Dolittle soundtrack & she'd sing "Dolittle Things" my duet with Changing Faces. She used to say it was one of her mother's favorite songs on the soundtrack. She was very close with her younger brother Rashad who is much like her in terms of cool, laid back personality & was often with her when we'd link up. They remind me of my older sister & I. She used to lecture me about smoking & ruining my voice early on. We recorded a song that was never released & that's how we met. People don't give her credit for being a great vocalist because she made it sound easy. Her vocal style was sick! I love an artist with a distinctive style that can take my song to another level with their own interpretation or change the attitude of the song for the better. Aaliyah was hands down my favorite artist/person in the industry that I've had the pleasure of knowing. I remember walking into the "Romeo Must Die" private screening to meet a friend. Aaliyah was in the back of the theater with brother Rashad & a few friends. Everyone else was seated toward the front of the theater. I heard someone calling me from the back. It was baby girl Aaliyah. She called me over & insisted I sit by her & Jay-Z. That's the type of person she was. That's how Hollywood Aaliyah wasn't! I've known many artists early in their career. They will walk past you like they don't know you years later. She wasn't that way. Aaliyah was the same person the first day we met that she was the last time we hung out

THIS PURE FUCKING SOUL
