Her management team have now released a statement claiming the star was "exhausted" from "working so incessantly", and is "now at home resting".

Posting on the brunette beauty's Twitter account, the statement read: "Brandy has been released from hospital and is now at home resting. She has been travelling extensively as part of an ongoing tour and several personal appearances.

"In recent days she has taken more than 10 long haul flights including internationally. She was in the studio all night last night until it was time for her to leave for the airport to catch a 5:45 am flight. The stress of all the travelling and working so incessantly has exhausted her. She will be relaxing for the next few days."

The message - which was posted in the form of a picture - was simply captioned: "Message from Team Brandy."
