Brandy Denies Turning Into a Rapper

Brandy has laughed off reports she is seriously considering a career in rap after rhyming on a pair of tracks for her upcoming album.

The "Never Say Never" hitmaker introduced her rap alter-ego Bran’Nu in December 2009 for a collaboration with hip-hop producer Timbaland.

The singer admits she shows off her MC skills once again on her upcoming sixth studio album, but she has no plans to pursue her hip-hop persona any further. She says, "Maybe two songs (on her new album) feature rap, but I’m not turning into a rapper."

Brandy is preparing a joint album with brother Ray J who is also a singer. The collaborative album which is yet to have a release date is slated to be dropped in stores later this year.
