Brandy shared personal details about her music career and why she almost gave up.

Brandy tells CNN

“There were times when I tried to come back and it didn’t work. Then I started to feel like, maybe this is not my purpose, maybe this is not what I’m supposed to do, because it’s not happening to me.”

“People are calling me a has-been, people are calling me washed-up and all these things. That starts to effect you mentally a little bit because you’re like, ‘Am I? Do I still have it?'”

“Clearly there was another plan in place, and I was able to connect with that destiny plan that is within us all and make a different choice.”
