And that includes Victoria Beckham – even though the two former bandmates live just a few miles apart in Los Angeles.

“Victoria and I are very different,” Brown explains. “People bracket us together because we live in the same city and we’re both interested in fashion. Victoria’s fashion line has been very successful and hopefully mine will be too. But that’s where the similarities begin and end.”

The performer – who has appeared on Dancing with the Stars and is working on her own fashion line, Catty Couture – says her children are her main focus. (She is mom to daughters Phoenix Chi, 9, and Angel Iris, 1 – who was famously fathered by Eddie Murphy.)
