BMore-Brave-Stacy-Francis-RBDivasLA-TheBobbyPenMy girl over at The JasmineBrand always has the tea and today she announced that R&B Divas LA has two new cast members.

As we learned from Lil’ Mo earlier this year, the franchise will resume with Season 3, and began tapping in late October. I didn’t get much detail then, but apparently all the divas were not called back. The quieter personality of the bunch Claudette Ortiz, from early 2000’s R&b trio City High was not offered a new contract.

It looks like she’s been replaced by Baltimore songstress Brave, formerly of girl group Rich Girl with now solo artist Sevyn Streeter. The group never made it to release a full album, but did have a single with UGK’s Bun B called 24’s.

This summer Brave shared with me some of her musical influences. Check out this clip below.

The other newcomer is Stacy Francis, a contestant from Fox’s X-Factor. I am not familiar with her work, but apparently she’s already managed to make a few enemies in the industry. According to reports, the family of the late Whitney Houston is upset that Francis has been casted on the show created to honor her legacy. Allegedly, the two had been fighting prior to her death. A source tells Daily Mail that they are ‘livid’ that she’s been casted.

Chile, that’s all I’ve got for you now, but I will be sure to tune in and see what Ms. Stacy Francis is all about.

Will you be watching this season of R&B Divas LA? Who’s your favorite?
