Singer Angie Stone is a Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, producer, actress and mother. As a member of the cast of R&B Divas, she’s also topped the U.S. Billboard R&B and Dance charts
One of her hit songs was “Brotha” which many play on Father’s Day as a salute to Black men. But there’s an interesting story about how it came about.
“I wanted to uplift brothers because the bible teaches us that the man is head of the household,” Stone began to explain. “We went down the wrong road by disrespecting our men because they are them to lead our men, our boys, our sons. So we gotta start imparting some greatness in the men that we have chosen to be apart of our lives. That’s why I wrote ‘Brotha.’”
With Angie’s hectic songwriting schedule, it’s hard to believe she’s battling diabetes as well as she is. In fact, Stone has dealt with side effects from a diabetes medication later called off the market, congestive heart failure and high blood pressure.
