The Grammy Award-winning artist, 42, and her daughter, 18, radiated with happiness as they vibed to their song “High Heels” while donning matching shirts in their home. The “Full Moon” singer uploaded the video on Mother’s Day and wished “Mother’s and Mother figures all over the world” a happy holiday from herself and her “greatest gift.”

“Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful Mother’s and Mother figures all over the world!! We love you♥️ from me and my greatest gift @syraismith ♦️,” reads the caption.

The mom-daughter duet dropped July 2020, one of 15 tracks on her seventh studio album “B7,” and it is the first collaboration between on a track. Brandy couldn’t be more proud of the young woman and budding artist that Sy’rai has blossomed into.

“Oh my God. First of all, I’m just so proud to be her mom,” she told Billboard. “Just beautiful to see her grow into this beautiful musician, this young artist that’s coming into her own. I just want her to be herself. I want her to follow her creative gut, her creative flow, and just try everything that she possibly can with her voice. And listen to her heart about her music. That’s what I tell her all the time.”

Fans pointed out what they claimed to be the resemblance between the former “Moesha” star and her mini-me and complimented both ladies on their beauty in the comments.

“Wait which one is Brandy?!? 😭😭😭😍😍😍🤯”

“Yoooo y’all are sooo beautiful!!!! ✊🏽✊🏽‼️‼️”

“Awe😍😍😍😍😍😍 yall are sooo adorable!!! Yeah its the TWINNING fa me! That Melanin is strong!”

“You two are EVERYTHING!! 🥰🥰🥰”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
