In the mid-Nineties, Brandy was on top of the world as one of the rapidly rising stars of music and television. In addition to her wildly successful debut album, the young performer was also the star of her own UPN comedy series, “Moesha,” one of the few shows that launched the network, which ran for 11 years from 1995 to 2006. Moesha’s success was the on-screen chemistry between Brandy and her co-star, Countess Vaughn.

However, there was speculation for years that the two didn’t get along off set. In a brand new interview with The Art of Dialogue, rapper-turned-actor Fredo Starr said the rumors could have been true.

“Why did Moesha die?” they asked Starr, who played Quinton “Q” Brooks in 49 episodes from 1996 to 2000. The rapper was then asked to substantiate long-standing rumors that Brandy and Countess ate beef during the series.

“I mean there was definitely friction…definitely,” said the Onyx member. “There were times on set once they argued a couple of times. They’ve come to terms with it, .

He also noted that Vaughn, while appearing on the show as Kim Parker, had enough influence to publicly challenge Brandy at the time. This was not the case for other actresses reminiscent of Sheryl Lee Ralph, who openly discussed her challenges with Brandy while playing Brandy’s mother on the series.

“I’ll tell the truth, Countess Vaughn was funny. She was hilarious and they needed her on the show, so she had every right to argue. She had the right to precise her opinion. She had the right to accomplish that,” Starr explained.

He continued: “Whatever happened, I’m sure she was frustrated enough that it exploded.”

Fredo Starr was only on the show for 2 seasons, playing Moesha’s boyfriend Q, but he and the producers knew Vaughn had the chops to grow to be a principal herself.

“The Countess was so awesome, she was a great actress…she did her own show,” Starr continued. “They said, ‘You know what, they don’t get along. Let’s give her her own show. She talks as if she could help herself” – and she rocked for five years. She filmed 100 episodes. All he has to do is check his mailbox.

Starr added: “You know, sometimes beef is good. They managed to make it two shows.”

As the interview continued, Starr concluded that the on-set altercation could have likely been the work of two talented actresses who desired to turn the show into one other lucrative spin-off.

“They’re actresses, right? They could have been, they could have played. This could have been the whole act. and they just milked it,” Starr said. “I didn’t even think about it. The next move after “Moesha” was “The Parkers.” The authors had a unique task. The producers had a unique task.”

“The rumor was true,” Starr concluded. “But like I said, these are actresses. They probably played. Great damn job!”

The conflict between the two ideas has often been talked about over the years, and in line with the stars, it was indeed an unpleasant one.

Brandy said that in 1998, a yr before Vaughn left the show Vibe Magazine“I think she’s very funny and very talented. I just feel like she wants to be where I am. People tell her, “You’re the reason the show is a success.” And she told me that before. And she called me ab-h to my face. She said, “I’m the reason the show is successful, b—.” In front of many people.”

Brandy added: “She wakes up, looks at herself in the mirror and feels disgusted. I do not.”

People quickly began judging comments part of the video entry.

“Brandy had too many mouthfuls to be a problem. This has been DECADES of beef,” one person wrote.

Another person wrote: “I remember Brandy being on the Tavis Smiley show and being asked about beef. She said the rumors were true and it wasn’t an enormous deal. They just didn’t get along. She also added that there are people in our work who we do not care about either, but nobody cares because we should not stars.

The two have since reconciled, celebrating one another publicly.

One person celebrated the two ladies coming of age, commenting, “They were all so young. It’s nice to see the ladies moving beyond the teenage beef.”

Vaughn who has estimated Celebrity Net Worth’s $1.5 million net price is greater than just waking up and getting checks in the mail. For the past few years, despite appearing in several reality shows, she has been fighting a thyroid disease that has caused complications in her life.

Additionally, her sitcom mother, Mo’Nique, has filed a lawsuit against the production company and showrunners of “The Parkers,” hoping to get more compensation for the work she and Faughn did on the show to make the series a success.
