According to TMZ, first responders were called to the Moesha star’s home around 12 p.m. PT on Tuesday, with the outlet’s sources saying “it’s believed that Brandy suffered a seizure.” There are no details on a possible cause, but the “Have You Ever?” singer’s parents are with her at the hospital as she recovers.

The world was recently reminded of Brandy’s influence when Disney celebrated the 25th anniversary of Cinderella. For many Black girls and women, her performance in the TV movie was the first time we saw a Black princess. If all she ever did was be Cinderella, her legacy would be cemented. However, she’s also a vocal powerhouse with timeless hits like “The Boy is Mine,” “Sittin’ Up in My Room,” “Baby” and “Missing You.”
