Last night's Verzuz battle between Omarion and Mario had Twitter talking, though it wasn't even the main event that really caught people's attention. If you tuned in, you would've seen a pre-show featuring performances from Ray J, Bobby V, Pleasure P, and Sammie, who stirred the pot with aggressive trash-talking antics.

With so many R&B legends in one room, viewers were expecting sticky sweet vocal acrobats, but according to some – including his big sister BrandyRay J didn't quite deliver with his show, and the songstress didn't hesitate to call him out about it on Instagram.

The "Sexy Can I" hitmaker reposted a video making fun of himself on his feed, writing "Ok it's like that? Y'all wrong lol @mrcommodore – It's gonna be this kind of a day I see! Lol – I'm dead," in the caption.

Though Ray J is comfortable enough to crack jokes at his own expense, he seemed to not like it so much when Brandy got in on the fun. "Since we deleting comments, I will comment again!" the 43-year-old began.

A post shared by Ray J (@rayj)

"Bro, Pops told me that you didn't drink none of the tea I made for you. He also told me that you were talking all day when I specifically said NO TALKING and only drink water and the special tea I made for you at four in the freaking morning. Caught!!"

Brandy revealed that if she "had one wish," it would be that Ray J "would listen to [his] big sis something, and especially for @verzuztv."


"Smh – when I get off of vocal rest, we are gonna have a serious conversation. And I'm gonna screenshot this comment in case you try and delete it again – and I will post again. Lol," she concluded, though it seems the post has been removed (again).
