I get it. Brandy and Aaliyah were groomed for the industry. Brandy's family uprooted their lives and moved to California in support of her career in entertainment alongside her father being minister of music at new church. This all happened to Monica by happen-chance. She was grassroots talent. Both Monica and Dallas have mentioned in this in the past. It was no secret that Brandy's reputation back then was that she was "Hollywood" hence why so many niggas fucked with Monica back then. And Brandy was beloved by mainstream media.
