Brandy is far too gifted to be tied to Rodney until they're old and Gray. She doesn't "need" him. Period.
I'd love to work with him and there's a reason she's still open to working with him herself. But if you tell me he HAS to executive produce .... In 2022

no
She doesn't owe him that, just like she can't tell him who he can and can't work with. This one sided shit is lowkey sexist too but ima leave it alone and continue to stan for them both.
They've fed us and Brandy is about to feed us for the next hopefully 20 + years If God allows. Enjoy, or don't!
