Boyz II Men’s Wanya Morris Denies Dating Brandy When She Was A Minor: Once She Turned Of Age, We Actually Fell In Love

Wanya Morris of the iconic group Boyz II Men has spoken out against age-old rumors that he dated Brandy, 41, when she was underage.

Wanya Morris, 47, took to his Instagram Live and spoke on their previous connection:

“Brandy and I were friends in the beginning. Her mother reached out to me as well as my manager reached out to Brandy because Brandy was a big fan of mine. I was like, ‘Wow, that’s amazing,’ because this young lady was pretty cool. I was young at the time. I wasn’t thirty-nothing. Don’t get it twisted.”

He continued:

“So what happened is, she became kind of like my little protege. I’m actually the one who introduced her to Vida Spears and Ralph Farquhar. They came to us to actually do a TV show on the UPN network and I said, ‘Well you know, Brandy’s down the hallway and she’s basically, she was on the Thea show.’ Okay, cool. Introduced her to that. The show came to fruition. My mom and I wrote the theme song to the Brandy show, so Brandy and I were really, really close.”

He added that they didn’t get romantic until she was “of age.”

“Once she turned of age, we had been hanging around each other so much that there came to be some sort of connection. An intimate connection. We actually fell in love. Now, we were young. That’s what happens. You’re young and you fall in love. Especially when you have the ability to be around somebody a lot. You begin to know things about them. And they know things about you. Now when you’re young, you make decisions based on your youth. You don’t make decisions, moral decisions that put you in a whole position where you know that this is what’s going to be for the rest of your life. You’re learning through everything. And Brandy and I learned through a lot.”

He went on to discuss her going to prom with late NBA legend Kobe Bryant amid their relationship.

“When it came time for Brandy to go on her prom, she was my girlfriend. Kobe Bryant was graduating from high school that year. Brandy was my girlfriend, she had just graduated from Pepperdine [University]. And her mom and I, we both made it so Brandy was able to go on the prom with Kobe Bryant.”

He added:

“When it came time for Brandy to introduce herself to the world. I’m the one who actually put her on the Boyz II Men tour. So she was with me. She was my friend, and we became intimate in a relationship. There’s no lie going on here. You can ask Brandy and she will tell you the same story.”

He condemned the speculation of him dating Brandy when she was a minor and said her parents were very involved:

“Whoever is there saying all kinds of crazy things like they know, regardless of anything, my age, her mother and father was a part of our relationship. They allowed me to guide Brandy and to help her through her career. They understood that we had grown close and that’s what it was.”

“Relax on what you think because I know because I lived it! And so did Brandy.”

The two ultimately broke up when he moved on with singer Adina Howard.

Brandy also said on her Behind The Music special in 2012 that she didn’t date Wanya Morris until she was 18. She previously spoke on their relationship and said:

“I’m just in love with somebody but can’t tell them. Too young to tell him. I can’t really tell my mom because she’ll have a heart attack as a mother and manager. What will I do? One day I got the courage to tell Wanya how I felt. I just told him that I loved him and thanked him for making me feel the way I feel because I had never felt that way before. He was just like, ‘Wow.’ The relationship took a transition, and we became a couple. I was on a high. It was love. It was real love.”
