Brandy To Star In Hip-Hop Drama ‘Queens’
The R&B Superstar Will Return To Television on ABC!
The R&B singer and actress has joined the ABC‘s drama pilot, Queens where she will appear as a series-regular by the name of “Naomi”.
Queens will detail the story of four women in their 40s who reunite for a chance to recapture their fame and regain the swagger they had as the “Nasty Bitches”— their ’90s group that made them legends in Hip-Hop. “Naomi” — known 20 years ago as Xplicit Lyrics, was the Nasty Bitches’ highly skilled musical engine, described as a true artist with boundless musical talent.
“Naomi was certain she’d go on to mainstream success after the group’s demise. She hasn’t, singing and playing her guitar in crappy dive bars where all people want is her old persona,” the character description reads. “When the group gets back together, Naomi is reunited with the only man she ever loved, and the rival bandmate who stole that man from her. But what Naomi wants more than anything is to build a relationship with the daughter she was never really there for — if she only knew how.”
In addition to starring, Brandy will also render original music for Queens. Her fellow “Nasty Bitches” group members will include rapper Eve as “Brianna” and Naturi Naughton (Power) as “Jill“.
This should be good! Congrats, Brandy!
