Ray J’s latest viral moment takes aim at Jay-Z and Beyoncé with the purpose of drawing respect to the legacy of his sister, Brandy.
Ray J’s December 2 Instagram video delivered equal parts comedy, candor, and concern as he publicly urged Jay-Z and Beyoncé to acknowledge his sister, R&B legend Brandy, during the Los Angeles dates of The Boy Is Mine Tour. Speaking with his trademark mix of levity and sincerity, the singer addressed what he believes is a repeated oversight by two of music’s most influential figures.
“Yo, at the end of the day, Jay-Z and Beyoncé. Like honestly, bro…” Ray J began, laughing as people around him “ran into the room” because they thought he was “about to talk some shit about Jay-Z and Beyoncé.”
He joked that everyone assumed he was “crashing out,” but stressed that the message came from “the heart.” The message eventually turns into a request.
According to Ray J, the Carters have attended several stops of the Brandy and Monica tour — “this y’all six or seventh time,” he said — yet have “never say what’s up to B,” even as they take photos with other attendees.
“I don’t like it,” he admitted, while repeatedly emphasizing respect: “I love you, Jay, and I love you, Bey. Y’all the two biggest stars in the world.”
Ray J made clear that Brandy has never raised the issue herself. “She never told me about this,” he said.

Ray added that he would “probably get in trouble for this” because “Brandy and the family did not co-sign this.” Still, he felt compelled to speak up as both her brother and as a longtime fan of the Carters. “N***as need to pull up… come say what’s up to Brandy too, Jay-Z and Beyoncé. That’s it.”
He said his family would welcome the interaction: “We want to take some pictures with y’all too. And we want to be inspired by the inspirational words that you guys are going to give us.”
Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé’s former groupmate in Destiny Child, is the supporting act on the Brandy and Monica tour. Other supporting acts include Mya, who replaced Muni Long. A clip of Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé’, Patti Labelle, Brandy, and Monica together has been circulating social media recently.
Ray J ended the clip with a direct plea, soft but firm: “Jay-Z and Beyoncé, please… pull up and say what’s up to B. Y’all ain’t said what’s up to B at all. I just don’t think that’s okay — and I love you.”
The moment showcased Ray J’s signature mix of unfiltered emotion and deep familial loyalty, turning a small backstage frustration into a heartfelt call for recognition.
