Monica and Brandy have been making their rounds to various radio stations and music networks promoting their latest duet ‘It All Belongs To Me’ this past week.
It’s a far cry from the teenage drama filled romp that was 1998’s record-breaking chart topper ‘The Boy Is Mine’. When ‘Boy’ was released, rumors swirled that the two R&B newcomers did not care for each other, let stand to be alone in the same room together–these reports were later fueled by their refusal to perform the song or even promote together.
Their feud allegedly reached a fever pitch during the MTV Video Music Awards when a verbal argument backstage turned dangerously physical.
Listen to Brandy and Monica open up to Hot 97‘s Angie Martinez about the night in question after the jump and sound-off below.
And there you have it, folks! All the whispers and rumors of what really when down that night have been confirmed by Monica and Brandy themselves, albeit the ‘Adult Versions’ of themselves. It’s great that they’re able to come to a place in both their personal and professional lives where they can laugh about the situation instated of harping on the negativity.
Was Monica really that ‘gangsta’ back in the day?!
I can’t wait to purchase Two Eleven in June and New Life in April. It All Belongs To Me is awesome!

lol …
i LOVE me some Monica!!!! THATS A REAL B****!! #NewLife APRIL 10TH!! 2/11 in JUNE!!! Lets support BOTH
Lmao … Years ago done! But it’s surprising that it happend way back when and we ain’t had no tmz coverage. Yess….
Im glad they’re both honest about the past and now are showing the growth they’ve had. The interview was lighthearted and both girls have moved on…. So proud of them. They were children 16/17 (highschool ages) when the incident happened, not uncommon for highschool girls and the fact that they’re so close now says so much about love and growth. We support it all belongs to me. Team Mo and Team Brandy
This ghetto ass bird monica thinks this s*** is attractive!! I understand that if you are hood you should be yourself and don’t forget where you came from, but this dumb s*** is her pride and joy!! She loved when the breakfast club went on and on about her glock and whether she was registered in NY or not.. this b**** is just tacky!!!!
and this was not the time or place to basically offer up specific details about a physical altercation.. They had said that they didn’t know each other and that there was tension, but this was over kill.. poor COONica ad her ghetto ass stans!
Stfu. I’ll beat your ass as an adult
she was jealous because Brandy was the bigger star.. and she was always in second place. She clearly had insecurities when it came to her and Bran…but whatever, glad they were able to move past that and come back together. Team B-Rocka! Two Eleven!!

“NO LIFE” OUT APRIL 10
Wow, such idiots. You can’t judge a person by their actions at a hughschool age: and if Brandy and Monica are over it y’all should be too. If I were Brandy I would be embarrased to have fans that didn’t listen to me. She tweeted how much she loved Monica and told y’all stop. You guys judging the actions of children is DUMB. Especially when Monica and brandy are clearly so close. Brandy actually made you all look JUVENILLE and silly when she said her and Monica stand for unity. That’s that. What’s done is done. For you to be so angry about 14 yrs ago looks CRAY for you. Brandy and Monica probably popping Bon bons together while your pressure is up. Grow up. Get over it. This reaction is why lots of artist aren’t honest with fans. I respect their truth and growth y’all should too. They’re both laughing and having fun. Grow up
Monica is such a Nippy stan. Hope she ends up covering one of her songs
BRANDY STANS ARE SO IGNORANT AND CHILDISH
I can’t believe there is really somebody up there hating on Monica??! Lol i mean who the hell hates on monica? I’ve never met anyone before.
🙁 EPICFAIL<<<<<I MEAN LIKE WAS IT ANY NEED FOR THIS TOBE BROUGHT UP AT A PUBLIC INTERVIEW??? JUST WHEN IW AS BEGINING TO RESPECT THIS PART TIME PREACHER AND SHE GONE AND DONE THIS??? UNPROFESSIONAL NAD DESPERATE FOR ATTENTION MUCH???? I JUST CANNOT<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<EPICFAIL
shut that mud in yo hole and sit yo ass downt. Yall stans be killin me with this ish.
Side eye to this post like really? I always thought she was ghetto shady anyways. B**** pleaseeeeeeeee!! *falls back and files nails*
@CAMILLE, B**** SHUT THE F*** UP. WHO THE F*** SAID IF THEY WERE COOL I HAVE TO BE? F*** YOU AND YOUR APPLE PIE FACE! I SPEAK ON THAT SHADY FLAT ASS H** MONICA’S ACTIONS. I DONT GIVE A F*** IF THEYRE COOL DUMB B****. IF SHE WANTED US FANS TO FUCKEN BE DOWN AND COOL WITH IT 14 YEARS LATER, THEN HER ASS SHOULDA CAME OUT WITH IT 14 F****** YEARS AGO. F*** HER AND F*** YOU!

AND LIKE I SAID, “NO LIFE” OUT APRIL 10
I remember hearing about beef and s*** back in the day. But what I do remember was by the second albu , Aaliyah was kicking both their asses. If your girl only knew, Hot like fire, One in a million, 4Page letter. game over.
Well…this admission could be damaging. Let the stan wars begin!
People stop fighting over these two….i mean they both probably sat down and thought hard on a story that they could dig out of their past, for publicity …they need their song to sell or at least be top ten on some countdown, and don’t forget their albums are coming out soon, they’ll do anything right now…..
once again u f*** make a big deal out of these stars personal lives, get a f****** life
Real recognize real I LOVE MO
I like Brandy
I will buy both
and what?!
You dumbasses need to learn from Monica
“DONT HATE ON NOBODY’s LIFE LESSONS AND GET YOUR OWN GRIND” instead of sitting on the damn blog all day feeding negative opinions
Monica and Brandy 1rst 2012!!!
F*** in these blogs- you got it right Jayla
They live, eat, and breath creation of drama. No fukkin life- they should put more energy into getting tested for H** than creating beef between two talented ladies.
Obviously, Monica was half playing. Brandy wouldnt have been on her nutts about recording a part 2, if she didnt start it. Monica is hood. She will finish a fight, but not start it.
Common damn sense
B**** THESE BLOGS ARE MADE FROM OPINIONS SO IF YOU HAVE A F****** PROBLEM THEN YOU DEAL WITH IT. I SAY WHAT THE F*** I WANT TO SAY. IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, IT’S YOUR PROBLEM. DEAL!
They should have never brought that up again. Since the song ain’t all that either, now people will more interested by the 1998 beef. Oh well.
The video showed them Hi-fiving each other, joking around. Obviously these 2 are over the incident. Some of you are making it seem like Monica was on GLOW (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) & body slammed Brandy…lol. They didn’t go in2 detail, so we have no clue what happened..all we know is they have moved on…some of you need to do the same over an incident when they were teenagers that happened 14 years ago…lol
Not surprised Monica has always been jealous of : Brandy, Keyshia Cole, Mary J. Blige (MY LIFE) etc. She’s a sick, twisted, preachy hoodrat. With no sense of self worth. Keep sabotaging those that reach out to YOU to do a collab!!! Shady hoodrat!
YOU ARE THE HOODRAT. MONICA WAS NEVER JEALOUS OF ANYONE. HAVE SEVERAL SEATS AT STAPLES CENTRE; IT’S FREE!
Monica shouldnt have brought it up…I wont be Supporting her cuz she keeps shading my Fav BRANDY!!! I wish her the Best….#TWOELEVEN June 2012
Monica was jealous when Charlemagne called Brandy attractive. Like serious??? She couldn’t take that, and was like ‘ Oh you should meet my gay ass brothers, I know you would like them.’ Keep showing your tacky no having ass Monica, your ‘career’ will be shortlived I promise you that. Keep glorifying that hood life, cause that’s all you’re about. You BUM!
Wow all this monica hate over something that happened in 98 ya really need to grow up
Lol. People are so petty. Who would care if charlamange said she was pretty. Clearly he was being funny. I think she looks great. New teeth ,hair, makeup of course but Monica is a natural beauty that’s always been called pretty, I am beyond over this whole convo but want you brandy stand to know your smut campaign for Monica when neither her nor brandy is concerned about it makes you look so dumb. You missed Monjcas entire point. She was saying even after all that they’re close. And talked about growth and progress. Brandy didn’t tell you stop the mess for nothing but also because she doesn’t want to be aired out. My stance is still support BOTH girls. They’ve been thru so many of the same things. Children out of wedlock. Career highs and lows and a few of you mentioned who Monica dated but brandy had mase ,wanye, fredro start who aired her out, Quentin Richardson who left her for Regina king and now this dude who she’s always begging for a ring in interviews and on tv. So they both have a past. They have come together so y’all should to. The funny thing is your so called favorite Is constantly loving on Monica whom you hate on: there’s a reason for that. Mary and many more respect and stand beside Monica because of her genuine being. What Mary said about Monica on twitter and her being a gift as a friend and supporter I know is probably true. People will say they like brandys music but you rarely hear people say they like her. Makes you think huh. I won’t refuse myself to calling her names like you all have done monica but the proofs in the pudding. Why didn’t KC call brandy for trust…
Not to mention neither girl said what the hell happened and the way they’re laughing and high giving says you all have too much time on your hands if u make a big deal of this
Monica did wrong for saying that.
Because this is exactly what happens when an artist reveals stuff like this.
She SHOULD know what an artist should tell and what not.
one would think she does it for publicity or something….
Im here for the MUSIC and sadly her music isnt interesting enough for me.
Monica was never clean cut from day one people.
You think she was called Miss Thang for no reason??
The beauty of Monica is she don’t hide from her mistakes and she evolved & grew up from it.
It was such a shame people pitted them against eachother unnecessarily, when collectively they did such a GREAT song.
BUT WE ALL KNOW LIFE IS A LESSON & LEARNING IS THE KEY!!!
I salute Brandy on forgiving and recognising the situation for what it was. Childish grown folks making them enemies as teenagers, which they both have eluded to on several occasions.
Now IT ALL BELONGS TO THEM in unity and with proper promotion, which unlike “The Boy Is Mine” this song needs will help the buzz for their up coming albums.
ROOTING FOR THEM!!
If Monica was really over that situation, then why would she wait 14 years to get it off her chest? And why should we just get over it? The way Monica was talking, she was making it seem like she was in the wrong. Yeah, we don’t know all the details, and it was indeed 14 years ago, but the fact remains that Monica admitted to initiating physical conflict on Brandy. Why can’t we judge her? Because she was the age of a high school girl? Get outta here, elementary school kids have better conduct than that.
It’s so sad that Monica seems to thrive off of being the “hood” girl. She thinks she’s so “real” but if you have to keep repeating that every 5 seconds, then you seem pretty fake to me. Monica seems so insecure and jealous, it’s so sad….Like, nobody asked her to bring that up…And their song is supposed to be all about unity and female empowerment…SMH, Monica needs to practice what she preaches and live by those bible verses she stays quoting…
but Monica shouldn’t have brought it up if she dint wanna talk about it. Bran seemed blindsided and overall Monica seems intimidating like the tone in which she kept repeating “did i not apologize?” if the tension has been whittled down then why take that tone? so much for her Preacher Wife tweets
At the end of the day, fcuk SLUMica and her ghetto ass pigeons!! or is she the glock, and they are her bullets? or should I say her “blanks” because they ain’t bout s***!
All of this underhanded shade I’m reading is just like Monica, ghetto and uninformed.. talking like Brandy’s look is plastic, but monica’s spongebob squarepants shape havin ass is a natural beauty. girl BOOM!!!
writing all of these SERMONS about being mature and UNITY but throwing shade in the same breath. Not here for it!! COONica goes on and on about how her and whitney were “so close” or how her voice is like whitney’s (we all know who was known as baby whitney but has actually grown to be a major influence in her own right).. or how everybody loves her because she is “real” and “if that is seen as hood then so be it”.. girl STOP. We expect better from a grown ass woman with kids.
Im honestly not suprised with Monica becuase she was so big headed her attitiude towards thinggs was very rude.
Hahahaha! Love that they are the best of friends now.
They seem so close now, and they always get on, so glad they moved past this and gave us ‘It All Belongs To Me’ LOL
Brandy obviously started that s***. I have the Vibe magazine interview from 98.
It was Brandy who got in Monica’s face during the video shoot repeatedly- Monica retaliated as would I
As much as they say they have moved passed it, it seems Monica is still very bitter because she will never stand a chance to brandy after all these years.
Monica talks as if she is real but at the same time she is Very passive agressive to Brandy. it does seems as monica feeds of being called hood and ghetto smh.
It did seem as if Brandy was blind sided and Monica came out of no whr with it.
The repeat of (Did i not apologize)
(DID I NOT APOLOGIZE)
(DID I NOT APOLOGIZE)
DID I NOT APOLOGIZE)
And he tone of voice was as if she was Brandy mom or bully.
Monica till this very day is still bitter!
Apologize or not the damage was done and this gives monica pride to talk about it, whn it seemed as if Brandy didnt want to bring it up smh.
Monica has a very nice voice but bittter action is causin me not to want to by her music anymore.
Monica Im done with u hun!, and u will still never compare to Brandy!
DEAL!
All you people are going on retarded for real!!! I’ve been a fan of both of them, so what Monica talked about it that happened 14 years ago, does it matter now? NO!! At the end of the day Monica and Brandy made a damn good song and they moved on, instead you people hating on Monica, read a damn book!! You stans making the real Brandy fans including myself look really bad and it’s pathetic and sad in so much levels!! I respect both ladies because they are legends, get off Monica d*** and ride your own, if you don’t like that, then suck a d***!! Point Blank!! If you support both there music good, if not , keep on stepping because at the end of the day, they have a friendship and they don’t give a s*** about the crazy stans negativity. They are doing music at the end of the day.
#TEAMMONICA , #TEAMBRANDY = #1!!!!!
Monica raised the issue on purpose by starting with “we couldn’t have done this in 1998” and she knew they would be pressed for details. Brandy was very quiet and probably uncomfortable or caught off guard. Brandy did say “we are going to have a conversation after this interview” so I don’t think she was pleased. Sounds like Monica still has some growing up to do. Brandy was the bigger star back then and she beat Monica out on awards so maybe Monica was jealous back then. Either way I think she was wrong to bring it up publicly now that all has been forgiven.
Forgot to add that it sounds like Monica is proud of her actions, why else would she bring it up? She didn’t comment much on the follow-up questions for details except to repeat “we are here”, leaving the door open for speculation. That’s what I would call being messy. Like I said before it sounds like she still has some growing up to do.
Yes, Monica was that “gangsta” back then. She was dating C-Murder who is currently serving a life sentence for murder. Monica was off the hook! LOL 🙂
They are so right MOVE THE HELL ON! We see how easily “AmeriKa” brings up 1 fights 2 young blacks had 3 years ago. MOVE ON PPL! Love Brandy & Monica they have grown as women and that’s all that matters….THEY HAVE GROWN!
Well the fact that Monica is the one that brought it up, when clearly it wouldn’t do her no favours just shows how far past it they are.
I will say that that could’ve stayed where it was but as Monica said in the full interview her MOUTH get her in trouble all the time and at the end of the day the truth is the truth and Monica told it.
Clearly in the video Monica is embarrassed and Brandy is thinkin Mo shush lol.
The greatest thing is they got over that mountain and properly spoke to each other to find out why they had tension..
14 whole years have passed and yet people cast judgement like people can’t change. Monica always got that Rowdy side but she has fine tuned herself and speaks intelligent things.
Brandy i need you to be less submissive because you are a huge star. I do like how she kept it cute and then her and Monica hi-fived etc..
The talent must speak now because im seeing to many interviews, which is great but i’m ready for another live performance.
OMG really with some of these comments. Next I guess Monica will be considered a “woman beater” right? MOVE THE F*CK ON PPL!
Waiting on Brandy to drop tht album. I wonder who the features will be. I will hv to listen to Mo’s songs first b4 i buy.
Sn:I wish i cld turn back the hands of time and go back str8 to the late 90s when artists gave us real music,,,i miss the 90s,,,, memories…., 2000s aint doin it 4 me.
You know I’ve been watching a lot of their interviews and to be honest the only one that truly seems removed from the beef is Brandy. I thought had Monica changed, but her behavior lately in these clips are revealing that she’s still very much the same.
Brandy’s success(when the two were arch rivals) must have really gotten under her skin. Monica comes across as this wiser, more spiritually grounded person now, but she seems to bring up the past to thrive off off it. It’s not about being dishonest or ashamed about their history, but Mo’s intentions seem questionable. She’s trying to prove something and come across like the type that is not to be f***** with.
Brandy is VERY HUMBLE and if the entire truth was elaborated on, then it would be noted that the winner of this fight (Yes, there was one) was pretty much split down the middle according to all the dancers and onlookers. If I’m not mistaken Monica walked away with a black eye and Brandy, a bruised lip. To speak of that incident now in the manner Monica is doing so, seems to be her way of getting more hood credibility at the cost of embarrassing Brandy.
I think Brandy has a forgiving heart, so she’s not feeding into it. Still, those that are ready to defend Mo (that appear to be neutral or in the middle) should listen to a couple of their interviews so that you can see exactly why the Brandy stans think Mo is being childish.

Good for them. Stans lets support IABTM. I love Brandy, but lets just stop this fuckery, it aint getting the two nowhere. United they will stand and devided they will fall.
I don’t care if they had WWIII on the set of the Boy is Mine. The fact is Brandy will always be the bigger star even with two flop albums. Before her bad press, Brandy had movies, tv shows, barbie dolls etc. And Brandy always sold more than monica. Brandy needs to start doing interviews solo. She does not need Monica for a comeback. Forgot to mention that Brandy always had the better voice.
Monica was like that in school and still the same today she preach and say she soooo into God but she talks about people and she brought that up to start s***, I can’t stand that ghetto b**** thats why she hasnt had much successs like how many albums has this b**** sold? Monica aint s*** compared to Brandy I saw her in Lenox mall walking with Tiny this b**** go get security to escort her out like people was mobbing her nobody was even comming up to her. Only people who like that b**** is ghetto black people from the hood.
Brandy got her ass MOLLYWOPPED by Monica LMFAO!!!!! YES Mo beat that ET looking h** ass!! Brandy is so f****** ugly and see why Monica had to go IN on that ass. I hope Monica pulled one of those nappy ass braids out her hair or yanked that Stevie Wonder hairline of Bran’s BACK further!! YES Mo beat her lame ass so she KNOW who is superior!!! Brandy’s weak ass couldn’t take the blows Monica was delivering. LMFAO I love Monica even more now!!! Trandy tried it and Monica punched her right in that d*** sucking mouth of hers. YASSSS Monica!!!
As usual on my last post losers take s*** way too damn seriously!!! Do you guys need a hobby or something?? Its not that serious, this s*** happened 14 years ago and I bet half of you only know Brandy and Monica from The Boy Is Mine track, not before, smh. Stop being idiots and keep it moving. Who cares about there beef that happened 14 years ago, Monica and Brandy was asked the question and they answered it, take it or leave it if you people have some damn common sense in the brain.
Brandy fans are so pathetic…. I want to see what they will have to say when new life shits all over 2/11 f*** outta here.
When Americans get on blog sites they are quite scary!!! Monica and Brandy spread love and unity!!!
I see Monica’s new nose job and weave is making her look more and more like LalLa……I guess she’s trying hard to keep that young basketball player…I wonger how long that’s gonna last…She seem boring as hell and acts way older that she is
For the love of real r n b music, i wont be involved in this crappy s***.
Monica should have kept quite! old news!
You monica stans are so f****** pathetic. You stan for an artist who’s so transparent, it’s just SAD! Monica is just a FAKE…Accept this and deal with the truth! She’s always trying to tell people that she’s so “real” every five seconds, but she’s a liar…she’s got a big ass mouth too…then she uses bible verses to justify her ridiculous actions/behavior. And one more thing, why the hell would you tell us to get over it? WHY did Monica have to wait 14 years to dish on this if she was over it? She’s bitter, she’s pressed, and she will have a f****** SEAT. BTW, none of the radio interviewers asked her about it. She was feeling her p****, and she opened her big ass mouth. She has no media skills whatsoever.
Brandy, you don’t need this ghetto, gutter, hoodrat trashy ass b**** no more. Enough charity work. You can smash on your OWN. Drop this old, bitter ass LaLa-reject looking h** ASAP and let’s punch to the REAL music. I can’t wait for Brandy to s*** all over this b**** again.
Lol dead @ Brandy emotional sensative ass fans mad because murder Mo put her foot on Brandy’s neck ya’ll better deal and if ya’ll keep it up Mo gonna beat on her ass again lol
I know this is late, but sorry to tell you, Brandy wasn’t the one who got beat. This story was all over the media around the time it happen, probably because i’m in the same age bracket as both of these girls I remember the story so well. The reports was that monica started the fight but brandy finished it. It was everywhere how brandy put a good one on monica. You guys are probably really young.
Can’t believe this sh*t is going down for real. Stans lets cool it.
I wonder where these Bran Stans where when Human came out?
I know where Monica’s stan where. In the store getting her that 180,000+ sales on that 1st week.
I like em both alot but Brandy stans think their girl too sweet with her fake marriage and fake..
The main thing is they work together now and are doing fine & the right way
@Coffee We were right here, especially when monica came with “the floppings of me”, and the shelved album “all eyez on me”, and when ATFY and UIG flopped. How quickly y’all forget! I really don’t understand why you all think Monica is so real. Y’all are so delusional. Being “ghetto”, being a thug girl, being “hood” does not make you real, it just makes you an uncivilized hoodlum from the projects…It’s also funny how you speak on Brandy’s fake marriage, but Monica had not ONE but TWO children out of wedlock. And she tries to justify that with the bible! Hypocrisy, much? SMH, God doesn’t like ugly and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t turn a blind eye to fornication either.
You monica fans REALLY need to stop acting like her s*** doesn’t stink, because it does. It’s RANCID. If anything, you all should be thanking Brandy a LOT because monica wasn’t getting halway decent promo for her own project until Brandy got involved.
GO SIT YOUR DUMB ASS DOWN AT THE EMPTY STAPLES CENTER WITH YOUR FALSE AND LAME INFORMATION. ALL EYES ON ME WAS NOT SHELVED; IT WAS RELEASED IN JAPAN AND IS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ONLINE. FOR THE RECORD MONICA IS REAL!!! THE THING WITH MONICA IS THAT HER MISTAKES WERE ALWAYS VISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC; SHE NEVER TRIED COVERING UP ANYTHING. NEVER ONCE DID SHE USED THE BIBLE TO COVER UP HER PREGNANCY. MONICA WILL BE RELEVANT YEARS FROM NOW EVEN WHEN SHE START SINGING GOSPEL. ONE THING ABOUT HER UNLIKE OTHER ARTISTS, SHE NEVER SELLS OUT R&B FOR ANOTHER GENRE…MISS THANG GOT IT GOING ON!!!
man what y’all don’t know is that Monica is str8 outta college park lol. She was bout that action
I know this is late, but sorry to tell you, Brandy wasn’t the one who got beat. This story was all over the media around the time it happen, probably because i’m in the same age bracket as both of these girls I remember the story so well. The reports was that monica started the fight but brandy finished it. It was everywhere how brandy put a good one on monica. You guys are probably really young.
