Brandy is back. After live-debuting her new single “Beggin & Pleadin” on BET’s “Black Girls Rock!” stage, the R&B songstress delivers the music video.
Rocking vintage vibes, Brandy struts with confidence and sexiness. While singing about a relationship gone wrong, she delivers potent vocals in a shimmering red dress. The Mike Ho-directed clip has a throwback feel and features a cameo from Brandy’s brother, Ray J.
Brandy is currently “Beggin & Pleadin” with her label. The singer is embroiled in an ongoing legal battle with Chameleon Entertainment Group for $1 million. She is claiming that the label’s CEO Breyon Prescott has refused to allow her to release new music, and that he tried to force her to sign a deal with Epic Records.
To help the cause, her fans have launched a #FreeBrandy petition via Change.org. “This petition is to stand as a united front by unapologetically advocating for the contractual freedom of Brandy; demanding that Breyon Prescott & Chameleon Entertainment release her,” reads the petition.
It continues:
“If you believe that Brandy should be free from this maliciously contrived contract and that she is a voice for our generation and imperative to our music soundscape, particularly to R&B PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION. There is power in numbers! We will no longer remain silent.”
