Brandy Norwood joins Eve and Naturi Naughton in ABC hip-hop drama pilot Queens

Deadline

Queens revolves around four estranged and out-of-touch women in their 40s who reunite for a chance to recapture their fame and regain the swagger they had as the Nasty Bitches their 1990s group that made them legends in the hip-hop world. In what would mark a return to network, TV, Brandy joins Eve and Naughton as one of the four women, playing a character named Naomi. "Twenty years ago, Naomi was better known as Xplicit Lyrics — the highly skilled musical engine of the Nasty Bitches," per Deadline. "A true artist with boundless musical talent — Naomi was certain she’d go on to mainstream success after the group’s demise. She hasn’t, singing and playing her guitar in crappy dive bars where all people want is her old persona. When the group gets back together, Naomi is reunited with the only man she ever loved, and the rival bandmate who stole that man from her. But what Naomi wants more than anything is to build a relationship with the daughter she was never really there for — if she only knew how."
