It’s been a minute since Brandy has released new music — now we know why.

The singer recently sued her record label, Chameleon Entertainment, claiming that it jeopardized her career when it tried to prevent her from recording and releasing new music. She even compared the contract to slavery.

A rep for Chameleon Entertainment, CEO Breyon Prescott, says that Brandy’s allegations are a desperate ploy to drum up publicity instead of facing facts and her best days are behind her. The rep added that Breyon took a risk “signing an artist that hasn’t had a chart single success since the early 2000’s.”

The label is also furious with Brandy for making the slavery comparison with all the racial tensions across the country right now. The singer’s rep responded, saying if Chameleon believes its own statement, they should have no problem releasing her from her contract.

Ouch!
