Sy’rai Iman Smith is born
Brandy and Smith welcome their first child Sy’rai Iman Smith on Father’s Day. Brandy decided to air her pregnancy and birth on MTV’s Diary Presents: Brandy — Special Delivery. Publicist:
A daughter, named Sy’rai, was born to the former teen star and her producer-husband Robert Smith.
O Magazine interview
Brandy talks about why she left the television show Moesha in an interview with O Magazine.
I had no decision-making power on that show, yet I was blamed for so much. The same people who were smiling in my face were talking about me behind my back. Then I’d go home, and there was Satan, tearing me down. On top of that, I was trying to be thin because the camera adds ten pounds. I was abusing my body.
Never legally married
Brandy’s ex husband, Smith, comes forward to say he and Brandy were never legally married. He claims they only pretended to be married to preserve Brandy’s image because she was pregnant. Brandy claims she is “hurt and shocked” by Smith’s revelations. Instead of a legally recognized marriage, she claims they had a “spiritual union and a true commitment to each other.”
We still share a common bond through our daughter, Sy’rai. He is not thinking about her, me, or what we had together. He is trying to destroy my reputation while using me and our daughter to get publicity and radio airplay for his artists. I am stunned that he is being so dirty about it.
Smith responds:
My comments were in no way made to take away any responsibility from Sy’rai emotionally or financially. And in no way am I an irresponsible father. … I have recently been granted joint custody of Sy’rai. When breaking off relationships it’s always difficult, and I prefer not to air our dirty laundry through the media. I was just stating the truth. Brandy and I have many things to work out over a long period of time, [and] will hopefully [head] in a more positive direction.
