Brandy is setting the record straight on longstanding rumors that her brother Ray J is dating legendary diva Whitney Houston.

Not true, the “Long Distance” star reveals in the Winter 2009 issue of The Rap-Up.

“Well, every time I ask Ray J about Whitney he always says that’s just his friend,” Brandy says. “He’s not dating her. And I don’t think that he would lie to me. I said, ‘Well, Ray, that’s not the way it looks. People think that you and Whitney are in a relationship.”

“He was like, ‘Well, that’s what they’re gonna think, but I’m telling you the truth and I’m not dating Whitney. Whitney and I are just really good friends and that’s it.’ When I ask Whitney, she says the same thing, unless they are just pulling the wool over my eyes. But I think he’s telling the truth.”
