Thursday, April 2, 2026 - Singer Brandy Norwood has confirmed longstanding rumours that she was in a relationship with Wanya Morris when she was 16 and he was 22.
The revelation is contained in her new memoir Phases, where
she said the relationship began around 1995, about a year after they met.
Brandy described Morris as both a romantic partner and a mentor during the
early stage of her career. She wrote that she admired him at the time, but
later felt that admiration was taken advantage of
According to her account, Morris referred to himself as her
boyfriend in private, although he did not publicly acknowledge the
relationship. “I was under the impression that we were madly in love, or at
least what I believed love to be at sixteen,” she said.
Reflecting on their intimate relationship, Brandy said, “He
was getting what he wanted from someone too young to recognize she was being
used.” She added that she initially intended to wait until marriage before
becoming s3xually active but changed her mind because she “believed that having
se3x with him would cement our bond.”
Brandy said she later felt she had convinced herself it was
her decision, even though she now questions whether she truly had a choice. The
singer also said they had planned to make the relationship public once she
turned 18, but the relationship ended after she discovered his alleged
infidelity.
Morris has previously denied claims that they dated before
she turned 18. Speaking in 2021, he said: “There’s no lie going on here. You
can ask Brandy and she will tell you the same story.” The differing accounts
highlight a continuing dispute over the timeline and nature of the
relationship.
