Brandy sent her fans a health update shortly after she was reportedly hospitalized following a potential seizure.
The 43-year-old Grammy Award-winning singer revealed that she was “following the doctor’s orders and getting the rest I need due to dehydration and low amounts of nutrition.”
The vocalist also thanked fans and friends for “sending love and light” her way.
“To my beloved fam, friends, and starz thank you for sending love and light my way. I am following doctors’ orders and getting the rest I need due to dehydration and low amounts of nutrition. Thank you for your prayers and support. Grateful for you all, see you soon,” Brandy tweeted.
Brandy, whose real name is Brandy Norwood, was admitted to the hospital after having a seizure, according to reports from TMZ and the Los Angeles Times earlier in the day.
According to TMZ, law enforcement received a call from the singer’s home in Los Angeles on Tuesday (Oct. 11) for emergency services. The “Missing You” singer did not address the media reports of having a seizure.
Brandy had previously been hospitalized in 2017 after passing out during a Delta flight at the Los Angeles International Aitport. The singer and actress was transported to the hospital after the flight crew returned to the gate.
At the time, Brandy has been touring extensively and has made numerous personal appearances, according to her team. She had flown more than 10 long flights, including international ones.
Brandy most recently appeared in the ABC musical drama “Queens,” which also featured Eve, Naturi Naughton and Nadine Velazquez. The television series was canceled earlier this year after the release of season one.
The classic Disney live-action film marked a groundbreaking moment in television history, introducing America’s first Black Cinderella (Brandy Norwood) and Fairy Godmother (Whitney Houston).
Brandy is known for hit songs such as “The Boy is Mine,” featuring Monica, “Have You Ever,” “Missing You,” “Almost Doesn’t Count,” and “I Wanna Be Down,” featuring Queen Latifah, Yo-Yo and MC Lyte. She has also starred in the TV series “Moesha.”
