The only reason the mention of “both of us his children” is of any note is because Brown and her sister, Danielle Brown, have been in a feud for nearly eight years. “Just 2 put the record strait! Ive Not seen my sister for 8 years, there is no family reunion planned, it is what it is,” Danielle wrote in a tweet on February 12.

The feud between sisters is rumored to have begun when Mel B married her husband, Stephen Belafonte in 2007.

All seems to be resolved between sisters as they posted the same photo with the same caption on Instagram yesterday.

Brown is currently a judge on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, which halted filming today to allow Brown to recover.
