Da Brat Reveals She Was Heartbroken That Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes Didn’t Like Her At First
Da Brat opened up about her relationship with the late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes on an interview with TooFab, where she revealed that Lisa wasn’t too fond of her at first.
Da Brat recalled that Lisa may have thought that Jermaine Dupri was going to replace Lisa with her, even though that wasn’t the case.
“Oh man, Left Eye was super dope but I kind of think because she was JD’s [Dupri’s] first artist and they used to — they grew up together and I think she lived with him at one point,” Da Brat began. “Like I think when I came along — I don’t think she liked me too much. Cause I think she felt like JD may have been replacing, trying to replace, you know, her with me, which wasn’t the case, but she wasn’t too fond of me.”
“But I loved Left Eye and it just broke my heart when she didn’t love me,” she added.
However, once “Ladies’ Night (Not Tonight)” was recorded in 1997, the pair became close.
“Yeah, man, we recorded it separately in our own separate spaces,” Da Brat added. “I think Left Eye did hers in Atlanta. I did mine in Jermaine Dupree’s studio. Kim probably did hers in New York. But when we came together for the video shoot, it was epic. I had never been on a shoot that had so many, you know, successful women, my peers.”
Five years later Lisa sadly passed away in a car accident in Honduras.
