Brandy as Naomi, aka “Xplicit Lyrics”

Brandy plays the role of Naomi ("Xplicit Lyrics"), the founding member of Nasty B*tches, in Queens, but this certainly isn't Brandy's first leading role. She's an award-winning singer and actress whose career has spanned over 20 years. As a singer and songwriter, Brandy sold an impressive 40 million records and won a Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group for her and Monica's hit "The Boy is Mine." She's also won seven Billboard Music Awards.

In addition, the R&B singer also appeared in several films, scripted television, and reality shows. She was the title character in the '90s sitcom Moesha, which ran for six seasons. But her most recognisable film role would have to be her turn as Cinderella in the 1997 TV movie of the same name. In more recent years, Brandy starred in shows like 90210, The Game, and Star. She also continues to release music to this day. Talk about an enduring entertainment icon!
