After opening hisBET Awards 2022performance with “Poison” featuring an appearance fromLil Wayneon Sunday, Harlow surprised the audience and brought Brandy out to duet herremix of his chart-topping hit “First Class.”
Harlow, 24, and the 43-year-old R&B singer’s debut performance of the track arrived one month after its premiere onHot 97’s Ebro in the Morning— which came in response to a viral video of the rapper not knowing Brandy’s song"Angel in Disguise,“or that she’sRay J’s sister, during an interview on the same radio show earlier in May.
“Allow me to reintroduce myself / My name is world-famous, one of the greatest / Living legend, did I mention my résumé is amazing?” rapped Brandy on the playful diss track. “The game need a breath of fresh air and I’m breathtaking / I went diamond / Guess I’m still a gold mine shining.”

“Brandy and Ray J are siblings? Nobody’s ever told me that in my life. Nobody’s ever told me that,” replied Harlow, visibly shocked. “Y’all got a good clip off that one. Ray J and Brandy are siblings? I had no idea, bruh.”
Harlow’s prediction came true, as the interview clip went viral on social media, prompting aresponse from Brandy herself. Replying to a fan’s repost of theHot 97video, the “I Wanna Be Down” singer tweeted, “I will murk this dude in rap at 43 on his own beats and then sing [his] ass to sleep.”
