For long-time fans have wondered why Jerome “Romeo” Jones of Immature wore an eyepatch. There was a rumor circling around that Brandy might have been the reason. And now according to the singer, the rumor is true.
The eye patch was definitely a look for Romeo and it became his signature style. During an interview with Nick Cannon, Romeo shocked fans when he shared what happened. He says:
“Yeah that’s a true story. Yeah, her and Half Pint had got into it. She had a book in her hand, just tossed it back, not thinking anyone or I was that close. Cut my retina, detached it. And the lens to the eye had fell out and Brandon Adams caught it. He was there with us. So, he’s standing there holding my lens. He’s not knowing what’s going on. Marc come in and we were trying to hide it.”
Romeo also explained that it’s is all love between him and Brandy.
“I remember when Brandy Norwood hit me in my eye/I had an attach regna my lens came out I had to have 3 eye surgeries/And she thought we’ll never be cool again/But I put that on my life/I love her to death/If she hear me talking, I know she can hear the honesty in my voice and my sincerity.”
