Shyne appeared as a guest on Mase and Cam'ron's "It Is What It Is" podcast, where the two discussed their alleged past involvement with Brandy
The conversation was highlighted by Brandy's brother, Ray J, who threatened the two rappers for speaking disrespectfully about his sister
Brandy responded to the discourse, denying having dated Shyne and asking Ray J not to get involved
Brandy is setting the record straight.
In an Instagram post shared on Wednesday, March 19, the singer, 47, addressed a recent podcast conversation between rappers Moses "Shyne" Barrow and Mase, in which both joked about having had intimate relationships with the singer.
"In the late '90s, I had a platonic friendship with rapper Shyne. In an unfortunate turn of events, that friendship is now being mischaracterized as 'we dated.' Unequivocally, we did not!" Brandy wrote in her caption.
"I'm not sure why an untrue narrative about a scope of what was a friendship more than 20 years ago is being reshaped during his current media interviews."

She continued, "People telling their version of my story is why I am releasing my upcoming memoir PHASES. It's time to tell my truth and debunk many of the misnomers that people think they know about my life."
Brandy also addressed brother Ray J getting involved on her behalf, writing, "Additionally, I rarely release statements and typically ignore stories about me in the headlines even when they're false. But when I do decide to stand up for myself, I handle things on my own. While I love my brother Ray J, I don't condone or support the messages he's shared on social media and have not asked him to defend me in any form."On the It Is What It Is podcast, Mase's cohost, Cam'ron, brought up Brandy and asked the two about rumors that they both dated her, with some of their time spent with her overlapping.
"I was special. He came in and wanted to be special too, so I had to let him be special," Mase joked.
Shyne agreed, saying. "No lies told. He was Shaq, he was the champion, he was the MVP. I was Kobe, no pun intended, because they said Kobe was a special friend of Brandy's as well, but I was coming out of high school on the championship team, and he was the superstar, but I definitely did want to be special."
Ray J found the conversation between the two disrespectful of his sister. In a since-deleted video addressing the two, he urged, "Keep my sister's name out of your mouth, and if not, I'm gonna slap the f--king daylights out of you when I see you."
