Brandy’s Daughter Sy’Rai Smith Opens Up About The Pressures of Having an Instagram Body & Feeling Like Her Mom Was ‘Embarrassed’ Of Her Before Weight Loss

Sy’Rai Smith, daughter of Grammy-winning singer and actress Brandy, is sharing how she dealt with some of her insecurities during her weight loss journey.


Sy’Rai Smith, 19 stopped by The Real earlier this week and opened up about the pressures of having an “Instagram Body.” When asked what made her want to focus on her health and her fitness she replied,

“I had a lot of health issues when I was at the size that I was. My mom was with me during everything. She saw me go through a lot and I just decided to really take my health seriously.”

Sy’Rai Smith also said,

“Living my purpose, I wouldn’t be able to live in that body if I wanted to fulfill anything going forward in my life.”

Sy’Rai Smith detailed the pressure she put on herself to transform herself into having an “Instagram body”.  When asked if being Brandy’s daughter made things tougher, she said:

“Honestly sometimes it was a little bit difficult, because you know, seeing my mom dressed a certain way or wearing certain things. When she was on carpet or I see her on set, or anything like that was kind of difficult because it was like, you know, why am I not that way? Why am I not that size? Why was I made the way I was made?”

She continued,

“And sometimes I would feel a little sad or feel like she was embarrassed of me.  These are all just insecurities in my head. She was never like that, she was always supportive.”

She later shared her desires to follow in her mother’s musical footsteps. She spoke on how Brandy helped her with her whole project and how hard it was working on the project with her mom. Sy’Rai Smith said she is a mixture of R&B and Pop. She also revealed her music is heavily influenced by her mother Brandy. She was happy to announce she has new music on the way.
