According to Brandy, she first met Morris while touring with Boyz II Men in 1995, when she served as an opening act during their popular II World Tour. At the time, she described him as someone who took on a mentor-like role in her life. He offered advice, checked in regularly, and became someone she leaned on as she navigated the pressures of fame at a young age.
Over time, that connection reportedly evolved into something more personal. Brandy writes that their relationship officially began when she was 16 years old and Morris was 22. She explained that what started as admiration slowly shifted into emotional dependence.
“What had begun as admiration had transformed into something else,” she wrote in the memoir, reflecting on how her respect for him grew into romantic feelings she didn’t fully understand at the time.
