* NeverLiveItDown: Sadly, there's two candidates for her: either the car accident or the fact that she and her former "husband", who she had apparently married secretly, were in fact never married.[[note]]Made even worse by the fact that Creator/{{MTV}} even gave her a special to document the upcoming birth of her baby where she repeatedly referred to him as her husband.[[/note]]



* TearJerker:

** Her good friend and idol, Music/WhitneyHouston, passed away in the same hotel where she was also filming her own ''Behind The Music'' episode. Worse, she died on Brandy's ''33rd birthday.''
* TheWoobie: In her youth especially. Not only was she regularly bullied on the set of the sitcom ''Thea'' by the star of the show, but her ''guidance counselor'' once told her that she would not succeed and should give up on trying to be successful because she wasn't beautiful. [[MsFanservice Obviously, she got better.]]

* FandomRivalry: With Monica back in the day, culminating in the hit song "The Boy Is Mine" and the well-known [=VMA=] performance of the two from 1998. It has died down since then.

* MagnumOpus: Many of her fans regard ''Afrodisiac'' to be the ''best'' album Brandy has done. While not a critical success, it's considered a precursor to the PBRAndB genre of R&B, inspiring artists such as Music/{{Beyonce}}, Music/{{Rihanna}} and even John Frusciante of the Music/RedHotChiliPeppers.
