Brandy’s memoir Phases: A Memoir describes a tense Kanye West collaboration, but the available account does not establish an ongoing personal feud. In The Guardian’s March 31, 2026, summary of the book, Brandy says her label pushed her to work with an uncooperative West because it hoped to persuade him to sign with the label. That is a story about label strategy and a difficult professional collaboration—not proof of a lasting personal rift.
What Brandy says happened with Kanye West
The Guardian reports that Brandy recalls being compelled by her label to collaborate with West as part of an effort to sign him. She describes him as uncooperative. The account centers on the pressure surrounding the project and the label’s ambitions; it does not establish that the two had an ongoing personal feud. The Guardian’s memoir overview is the source for this account.
Why the memoir revisits old public narratives
Released March 31, 2026, Phases: A Memoir gives Brandy room to address a career and private life often filtered through media coverage. In a Parade interview published the next day, she explained: “So much of my story was told from the media. Now I can tell my own story.” Parade reported the memoir was available wherever books were sold at the time of that interview. Read Parade’s interview with Brandy.
Brandy’s account of her relationship with Wanya Morris
The Guardian says Brandy writes that she was 15 when she met Wanya Morris, who was 23, and describes his pursuit as a calculated courtship of a teenage girl by an adult. This is Brandy’s account as reported by the newspaper, not an independently adjudicated finding. The age difference is central to the memoir’s retrospective framing of a relationship that had previously been discussed publicly in less critical terms.

What she says about Monica and “The Boy Is Mine”
Brandy’s recollections complicate the rivalry story long attached to her and Monica. The Guardian reports that Brandy says she came up with the idea for their duet to undercut rumors that they were rivals, and that there was no real beef at first. She recalls later strain involving labels and teams, as well as tensions around vocals and the album title. In her Parade interview, Brandy also acknowledged tension but said they were young and working with different labels and teams.
The song became a defining success for both singers: The Guardian reports that “The Boy Is Mine” spent 13 weeks at No. 1 in the United States. Brandy’s album Never Say Never sold 16 million copies, according to the same 2026 Guardian account. KPBS/NPR reported in April 2026 that the “The Boy Is Mine” tour had 32 dates and sold out arenas. These figures describe the scale of the music career behind the memoir’s account, not evidence that the rivalry narrative was accurate.

Childhood fame, loss and the cost of being watched
The Guardian also describes Brandy’s writing about early experiences as a child performer, meeting Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson, and the pressures of growing up in public. Parade’s interview likewise addresses childhood fame and Brandy’s public image. KPBS/NPR reports that she co-wrote the memoir with journalist Gerrick Kennedy, who helped her recall events and shape the narrative; Brandy told the outlet, “For so long my story was told for me. So given the opportunity to have a chance to speak myself and tell my own story, I just felt like it was divine.” KPBS/NPR’s feature includes the interview.
Among the more painful episodes, The Guardian reports that Brandy writes about a fatal 2006 car accident in which a woman died, and the guilt and isolation she experienced afterward. That passage is presented as Brandy’s description of her emotional response; the article does not independently assess the events or assign blame.

How to read the revelations
- West: the reported account is a label-driven collaboration with an uncooperative artist, not substantiation of an enduring personal feud.
- Morris: the age and courtship details are Brandy’s retrospective account as summarized by The Guardian.
- Monica: Brandy distinguishes the initial idea of joining forces from later tension involving teams and labels.
- Personal history: the memoir’s recollections and emotional descriptions are reported through interviews and journalism; those accounts are not independent verification of every assertion.
