‘The Way I Screamed’: Brandy’s Daughter Sy’Rai Smith Shocks Fans with Amazing Weight Loss Transformation — See Before and After Photos

Brandy‘s daughter Sy’rai Smith is taking charge of her health and glowing up right before our eyes.

The 19-year-old singer, who is following in her mom’s musical footsteps, shared a slideshow last week on Tik Tok chronicling her weight loss transformation through photos, a collage she captioned “IM BACK….. #foryou.” Although Sy’rai didn’t share any details about how many pounds she shed or how she lost the weight, it’s clear that her transformation has her feeling herself in the best way.

The “I Wanna Be Down” singer reposted her mini-me’s video and gushed over her baby girl’s growth in the caption, writing, “Forever Inspired by You!” to which Smith sweetly replied, “i love u mama” and “so greatful to have u as my mommy♥️♥️.”

Fans were thrilled to see Sy’rai looking happy and healthy, and they left numerous comments in support of her journey.

“She was always beautiful good for her ❤️”

“The way I screamed of joy, she is so beautiful either way and I’m so proud of her journey 😍😍😍”

“I never even knew but as long as she’s happy”

“Good for you.. Stay healthy ❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥”

Sy’Rai is the only daughter of Brandy and music producer Robert “Big Bert” Smith, and the mother-daughter pair are extremely close. The “Moesha” star shared a heartwarming message for the “beautiful soul’s” 19th birthday on June 16, expressing her love and pride.

“Happy Birthday to the most beautiful soul on earth. I love you more than I can express,” she wrote. “I am grateful to be your Mommy and so blessed to watch you grow into a beautiful 19-year-old. You have such a promising future ahead of you and I will be right by your side. I love you, sweet girl.♥️♥️”

Still independent.

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.
