<p id=”par-1_91″>When fans spotted Beyoncé cheering from the crowd and sharing smiles with Brandy at a recent stop of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/brandy-says-she-and-monica-played-into-their-infamous-feud-following-the-boy-is-mine.html/”>“The Boy Is Mine Tour,”</a> it felt like a symbolic passing of the torch. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/brandy-was-no-fan-of-her-first-hit-single.html/”>Brandy, an enduring voice</a> from the ’90s and early-2000s, has returned to center stage with renewed energy and purpose with her 2025 tour carrying the legacy of her smash-hit duet. And Beyoncé’s presence underscored the tour’s magnitude. Unfortunately, Brandy’s team recently had to issue a statement following comments that appeared on a Beyoncé fan page. Here’s what went down.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-brandy-s-team-posted-that-her-instagram-account-was-hacked-after-her-account-commented-on-a-beyonce-fan-page”>Brandy’s team posted that her Instagram account was hacked after her account commented on a Beyoncé fan page</h2>
<p id=”par-2_76″>Brandy’s team reportedly aimed to do damage control following viral comments that appeared on a Beyoncé fan page. According to <a href=”https://theshaderoom.com/brandy-instagram-react-beyonce-fan-page-messages-screenshots-the-shade-room/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Shade Room</a>, the comments appeared on the Beyoncé fan page, KingBeyHive. One comment that appeared from Brandy’s account read, “That’s my outfit you down here in,” seemingly accusing the superstar of copying Brandy’s look. Another comment read, “I dare you to come down here again and take a picture with me it will go viral!!!”</p>
<p id=”par-3_19″>On Dec. 2, 2025, Brandy’s team took to her Instagram Stories to set the record straight about the comments.</p>
<p id=”par-4_39″>“The @brandy Instagram account was previously compromised, as of early morning Tuesday, December 2nd. At this time all access has now been fully restored. Brandy looks forward to seeing everyone this weekend at #TheBoyIsMineTour! — Management,” the statement reads.</p>
<p id=”par-5_65″>This is certainly a relief for Brandy and Beyoncé fans. In the past, the two consistently spoke positively about each other’s talent and influence. Brandy often praised Beyoncé’s work ethic and vocal precision. And Beyoncé acknowledged Brandy’s impact on a generation of singers, including herself. Their interactions and occasional public shout-outs over the years highlight a relationship built on a shared commitment to advancing R&B.</p>

<p id=”par-6_20″>A resurfaced clip from 2012 shows Brandy calling out fans who insisted on comparing her and Beyoncé at the time.</p>
<p id=”par-7_81″>“I don’t think I’ve ever heard a comparison to me and Beyoncé,” she said in the clip posted by TrueExclusives. “I wish these fans would quit that, because when you put competition in the midst of what’s so unique and so different about every artist out there, it keeps you from appreciating everybody. Yeah, everybody has a preference, but if you like Beyoncé, and Lady Gaga, and Rihanna, and not put them against each other, then you can enjoy all three.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_49″>“I have all of their albums. I love them all,” Brandy continued. “Everybody has their own tone, their own sound. Nobody can be Beyoncé better than Beyoncé. Nobody can be me better than me, or any of these other great artists — Adele, Alicia Keys. Let people be unique.”</p>

<p id=”par-9_42″>Brandy has been denying beef with Beyoncé since 2017. According to <a href=”https://thejasminebrand.com/2017/01/04/brandy-denies-disrespecting-beyonce/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Jasmine Brand</a>, a story from Global Grind circulated claiming that Brandy and Beyoncé had serious issues. The story came after one of Brandy’s songwriters made the claims on social media.</p>
<p id=”par-10_15″>Brandy took to social media to set the record straight after the story was published.</p>
<p id=”par-11_37″>“This is simply not the truth!” she wrote, tagging Global Grind. “Period. I would never disrespect greatness, I’m too humble for that. Nothing else to be said.” She finished the post with a peace sign emoji. </p>
<p id=”par-12_55″>Later, Brandy posted an Instagram image of Brandy Barbie with Beyoncé Barbie, proving there are absolutely no issues between them. “To not love and respect Greatness would be a disgrace to my own gifts,” Brandy captioned the post. “… I love me some Bey and I love me some Solange. Now I’m done with it.”</p>
