Singer Brandy, the recipient of a message from Whitney Houston shortly before her death on Saturday, remains tight-lipped about the note’s content. On Feb. 9, Brandy, fellow singer Monica and Clive Davis were in the middle of an interview for E! in Los Angeles when the Grammy-winner approached them. According to a post on ryanseacrest.com, “Whitney seemed a bit manic as she told Monica about swimming “2 hours a day” and conspicuously handed a note to Brandy before hugging Davis, her long-time friend and mentor.”Though later asked directly by E! about the subject of the note, Brandy declined to give a response, saying, “I’m going to just not say what it was and just keep it to myself for my own personal reasons.”
According to Fox News, Brandy is the older sister of “Sexy Can I?” singer Ray J, the on-again, off-again beau to Houston. The two female singers also co-starred in the 1997 film “Cinderella.” For these reasons, it can be speculated that the note was of a personal nature.
"Whitney meant everything to me ... She's the reason that I sing," Brandy continued.
With her jaw-dropping voice and enormous smile, Houston was—and still is—an inspiration to many female singers. With the ever-present pressure of the prying public eye, Brandy’s respect for Whitney’s privacy in the wake of a widely publicized death is commendable.
