Monica may have been cordial with her response to the recently reignited beef between she and ‘Boy Is Mine’ co-star Brandy, but her fans, on the other hand, haven’t exactly been following suit.
As the praise continues to ring in for the ‘Full Moon’ maestra after her show-stopping performance at this year’s ‘Soul Train Awards,’ some fans felt some comments made by the singer on her official Instagram page were indirectly aimed at Mo. The result has been a reignition of a nearly 2 decade duel between the R&B songstresses and their fans.
But, if that wasn’t enough to stir the pot, Brandy’s mom & manager – Sonja Norwood – inserted her opinion on the matter. See what happened when a fan came for Miss Sonja:
Thanks to our friends at TSR:
Brandy added:
Your thoughts?
Your thoughts?
This is beyond petty and brandy and her mom are the ring leaders in this. Brandy might be losing it mentally. Her behavior is really off.
But it’s all over Instagram I’m not seeing what the start of it is
I get that brandy said something nowadays u can’t do that without ppl thinking it’s shade but she should’ve left it at that
U don’t have to respond to fans opinions of who’s better
That’s where she f***** up at
They both need to logout
This isn’t anything new brandy isn’t crazy she’s a b**** always has been. It’s the same reason her and countess vaughn didn’t speak for years because she was jealous she got her own show and was getting more attention on moesha than her. When that show premiered while brandy was the main character everybody loved Kim that’s why she got a spinoff. Same reason Sherly lee rallph didn’t speak to her for years and said her behavior as a young star was disgusting. Brandy has been gassed up for years as a vocal bible and has always carried that attitude around she pretends to be humble and sweet and is really just nasty and calculating. This is the same girl that pretended to be married cause she got knocked up instead of just saying “I was having s**”
Where can I read about this tea? I always thought there was something off about brandy, especially judging by the way her brother acts, but I never cared enough about her to get the tea but I’m interested now
As off late, Brandy does seem a little off.
@kii
Countess talked about it on “Unsung”
Lol her behavior is off? DO YOU KNOW HER PERSONALLY! NO! FOH weirdo
This beef between brandy and monica is tired this beef has lasted longer than those two have been relevant
lol.
Neither of these two can book an award stage that isn’t BET, I don’t get what battles she is trying to fight. If you’re so seasoned why do you let so much get under your skin? And yes, let your mom manage you again because after she stopped, everything flopped. First task she needs to do is take away your social media. Second thing is find you a new hair, make-up and stylist because you be doing too much. Third thing is to put you back in the studio and deliver radio friendly songs because that’s the only way you will see a stage that isn’t BET endorsed. Oh and stay away from Ray J and stop bîtchin about Monica.
HabahHaaha! Yes!
This is so messy! Monica hasn’t even responded negatively,so why tf Brandy still carrying on! Thank God my fav speaks in her music and not trashy like this on social media for free. “You know I’m not gon’ diss you on the internet / Cause my mama taught me better than that”?
Girl….you just delivered a wonderful performance and got a amazing award, why not revel in that and ignore the petty mess….For all the hate people throw at Beyonce, you don’t have to like her to respect the fact that she does not go on twitter or instagram to start being petty or defending herself to Trolls. If she has a response it will always be in her music and you can take from it what you want. Brandy (WHO I LOVE DEEPLY AND EVEN PREFER TO MONICA) should focus on releasing a new album and she can address whatever frustration she has towards anyone on it as opposed to throwing petty and useless shade on Instagram.???
Great comment I agree. It’s just that when Monica responds like a minister every time she’s asked it makes brandy look bad and THAT’S the shade. It doesn’t look like it but Monica is under handed. Instead of saying “that’s not true brandy and I are great friends” she always says “I don’t know why she’s acting like that I honestly haven’t really noticed I wish her the best” it’s shady.
@Danzou, why can’t people see this!
I’m a true Brandy fan and I know what you mean EXACTLY! I remember when they had that radio interview when they were promoting it all belongs to me, she was acting like she was the hood b**** that whooped Brandy back in the day but Brandy never said anything about her. SHE was the one that confirmed the fight by turning to Bran saying “didn’t I apologize for hitting you?” Being shady, people need to get facts before they jump to conclusions.
All of this ^ … Great comment Surprise (I have to agree with you) and 2bad2bme, you’ve given a very truthful sum up! I just don’t care about this beef anymore, but I do believe it’s deeply rooted in drama that we (outsiders) aren’t so aware of! This feud didn’t start a few weeks ago with the public clap backs by Brandy!
I honestly think people just want to come down on Brandy sometimes because she had that “girl next door” image or was perceived as displaying such proper behavior and was such a “good girl” in the past! What I hate about the culture is that you’d hardly hear people say “that’s my girl”, she “keeps it real” just for being on the straight and narrow! If she walked around with a ‘tude like Keyshia or more ’bout it like Mary, she’d get that nod of approval! I really don’t know what’s going on beneath the surface with these two and I honest prefer to focus on the music now!
Did Yall Read things carefully?
Stop comparing Brandy to Beyonce and Brandy to Monica.
Brandy as a seperate Human to each, and has no time for shading someone in the way that Monica has been sub jabbing brandy in interview etc.Shes telling it how it is, and shes telling her own truth musically, and it only reemphasizes her unparalleled artistry and deeper understanding of her own self love.
If someone comes for your mums, for your own self expression of course your gonna cuss.
if brandy is offended by the actions of another celebirty, or fan, both of who are human then expect a reaction, its not about taking s*** all the time and thats her point.
Come for brandy another day shes got music to make #ChildBye
This murderer and her mother are really reaching… Brandy just come out and say what you feel like Monica did to you that was so wrong got damn, Monica sitting somewhere paying it.. But I know its only so much she can take
murderer wow thats weak.
But true
She didn’t kill anyone! You sound dumb AF!!
She caused a chain reaction pileup and broadsided a man’s car while trying to evade another vehicle that entered her lane. He died and she ended up paying a settlement. So get your facts together
Why are you lying? Really why? There was no pile up and chain reactions. She slammed on the brakes too late. That’s all.
It was a woman, not a man
And she paid a settlement because she’s the one with the money and they sued her civilly
I get y’all wanna laugh but it’s not true
Foxy and Kim fans can’t let their beef go either
And we already know K** stains are forever pressed
Monica is unbothered AF … She’s somewhere at a theme park with her kids tryna figure out what flavor ice cream should they pick out… She don’t give AF bro lmfao
Her last album is just as unbothered as her.
You mean how Brandys last 4 albums were unbothered ?
No Brandy’s last four albums sold at LEAST over 150000 by now. Code isn’t ever gonna cross one hundred thousand so hey if that’s what helps you sleep at night.
LOL
Tf does she mean she has the guts not to hide shade???? Hoee yo scary ass been throwing subliminal shots this entire time… this is REALLLLYYYY SADDD her and her mother are acting like 5 year olds.
*sigh*
Who knows difference between petty and truth again? Cause it sure ain’t brandy or her momma. They’re both messy and petty in the worst way possible.
You guys really want receipts to confirm that you don’t like her? If you don’t like her, think she’s fake, ugly, can’t sing, a murderer, a hasbeen, a bıtch, petty, etc…I don’t think more infor is neeeed, especially if you already feel the way you feel. It’s not like anything she does will gey y’all to stream/buy her music or concert tickets. There is nothing she can do now.
Brandy gurl just stop…. Mama go focus on your career… Monica seem very unbothered and you out here looking pressed… And I ain’t talking Rasheeda…
Monica has been throwing stones at Brandy and hiding her hands for a long time. Clearly, a lot of posters on this site are too young or too immature to know better, but it doesn’t matter. Brandy will continue to speak on how she feels and those of us who know better will continue to support her in doing so.
Exactly! People overlook or ignore anything monica may have done or said that could be perceived as shady because they like her more! They relate to her more and think she’s such an innocent christian woman. Ch, I’m not buying into that.
Again, living in the PAST. Brandy needs to grow up, and move on, and the same can be said about her fans.
I said what I said. Every one who said anything negative about Brandy or her family DESPISES her and won’t be satisfied until she’s dead.
People don’t even like Monica more. She’s just light skin. That’s it.
Hell me either!
I said this before but I’ll state it again I’m a true Brandy fan and I know what you mean EXACTLY! I remember when they had that radio interview when they were promoting it all belongs to me, she was acting like she was the hood b**** that whooped Brandy back in the day but Brandy never said anything about her. SHE was the one that confirmed the fight by turning to Bran saying “didn’t I apologize for hitting you?” Being shady, people need to get facts before they jump to conclusions.
It really just boils down to Bran not being “raw” enough and “real” enough (in some people’s minds) from the beginning of her career! This is the reason why she get so much heat from folks! Some of these people bashing Brandy are the same folks that live for Nene’s (RHOA) blatant disrespect! If Brandy was a little messier from day one, she’d get a pass right now! People only think of the squeaky clean image she had in the beginning and still hold that against her! Whitney had the same problem, until believe it or not, she started showing more erratic behavior! People even get tired of “perfect Beyonce”. Bran’s just suffering from the box she’s been put in for years and people resentment towards her for that! I honestly believe both ladies (Bran and Mo) have a right to speak their piece, it’s just that it’s honestly going no where at this point! Still, we don’t know what’s provoking all this and what kind of subtle shade is going on between the two! There’s nothing that can really be said about it unless we know a lot more!
I can’t deal with those two. Am so over them.
I love Brandy and have nothing against Monica, but I’m over it as well!
Wait, hold up did Brandy just imply that she was street… ha that is funny.
No, she didn’t! It’s just like when someone refers to the all the drama that goes on in these “TGJ streets”, it’s not a declaration of how hood Brandy is!
Brandy is from Mississippi and grew up in Carson. Last time I checked thats bout the same environments as thug life Monica growing up in Atlanta on the Southside.
Idk about Mississippi but Carson is kinda hood lol….its right next to Compton
This is getting old but Monica always picks with brandy then makes it seem like she’s so above it all with this whole faux spiritual crap. How don’t any of you see this? Let’s not forget it was MONICA who didn’t want to your with brandy for IABTM. Let’s not forget it was MONICA who tried her hardest to out sing brandy whenever they’d perform that song. Let’s not forget brandy had a platinum single at that time and an album that sold just under 200000 as well as a sold out tour that supported it yet she’s bitter? It all comes down to the fact that brandy(the darker one) is perceived as the negative one.
Tour* with brandy
Brandy needs to grow the fk up. End of discussion.
You hate her and want her family dead, so why does what she does/says matter?
Why would a woman who is grown as hell need to “grow up” for an opinion of a f** on a blog who doesn’t understand nor recognize her influence no way? Brandy says what she has to say then moves on being happy on snap chat. Then Monica comes along with this whole “I love myself and I’m focused on light in my spirit” bull s*** then all of a sudden it seems like she’s a high roader when she’s NOT. She’s done it for years now. Her fans start crap then when brandy responds she acts as if she just DOESN’T know why brandy would act that way.
Real as f***!
Do you even know what you are talking about? It all belongs to me was originally meant for r.kelly and was produced by Rico love, who Monica was working with when she was recording ‘new life.’ Monica asked r.kelly for the song and then asked Brandy to be on it. The song came out in the first quarter of 2012. 2/11 didn’t come out until October 2012. You have the timeline wrong. Put it down came out in may of 2012. So no, Brandy didn’t have a platinum single when IABTM came out, and her 200k selling album wasn’t released until afterwards. And each time they performed the song, they stayed true to the single. Brandy slayed in her lower register and that run at the end of her verse, and Monica would eat that high note at the end.
^ In several IABTM performances Brandy’s verses were getting shorter and shorter! They definitely didn’t stay true to the song! That’s just facts!
@royal thank you. I know what I’m talking about. Like I said, they were going to tour together and that same tour turned into the two eleven tour when put it down became popping. Monica was obviously jealous.
If I recall, Mo was pushing for a joint tour. It was Brandy who said she was ‘going in a different direction’
Somebody come get this ugly b**** and her Mother. This whole family is screwed up. Mother, daughter, and son, ugh. So embarrassing.
White f**
White? Lol wow, you Brandy fans are as screwed up as your fav. I would be livid as well, if my fav looks, and carry’s herself like a jackass.
But you are white and it’s just as obvious as it is pathetic.
Wtf, white, where did you even get that, crazy. Not that matters, i’m as black as night. Now that you no that, go take your meds.
? See what I mean. Just all kind of mental ?
I wholly doubt it. I wouldn’t be surprised if you are making more than one account and up voting yourself as well as talking like people are agreeing with you. It’s not healthy to project your insecurities and shortcomings onto someone else. With that being said, go away.
Omg, are you ok? You are literally having a melt down.
I’m having a melt down? As if, h**. You’re the one who responded to my comment on the first place and you haven’t stopped since. I’m gonna repeat myself now so let me know exactly where I lost you the first time; It’s not healthy to project your insecurities and shortcomings onto others.
No shade ? but Brandy along with her fans seem a little off. Special ed teas all the way??
Says the same h** who has found an identity on a D list blog shading people far more successful than your h** ass will ever be. At ease.
I love Brandy, but why even respond to any of it?! It’s not going to help record sales… Get in the studio and make a classic album, then promote the s*** out of it! Allow your voice to be your legacy. It speaks for itself! The internet has made everyone so childish! ? You’re almost 40 talking bout some s*** from ’98-early 2000’s
FANS STOP! It’s so dumb, both sides!! As a manager, her mother should’ve advised her to leave it alone, including the lyric changes in the performance! But, they’ll keep going! I’m only a fan of the music, not corny Stan wars, and sideways shots. It’s beyond tired!
She’s grown. That’s why she’s talking about it. Monica talks about it and no ones telling her to shut up. Let’s let the precious light skin one be all spiritual and tell the dark one to shut up and not speak her mind. Pure colorism.
You’re part of the problem! Whenever someone starts a sentence with “I’m grown”, they’re usually have done, or are about to do something that’s far from it! It’s completely unnecessary!
Let’s not act like taking the high road NOW will help her record sales…
Are white people really still pretending to be POC? I mean it happens on tumblr but I didn’t think it was just all over the internet. White people have lost it.
N**** you need help ?
Help getting rid of your body after I slit your f****** throat. Shut UP.
Threats over the internet ? just like your girl, a weak ass bit^h ?
And exactly what are YOU doing over the internet? You’re obviously bothered if you feel the need to keep replying to me as if your losing a battle or something. it’s like you’re trying to out do me. You won’t h**. Now get back behind that trash dumpster and finish what you started cuz your rent ain’t gonna pay itself. At ease h**.
? Bellevue come get this fool, and the rest of his counterparts
http://static.tvtome.com/images/processed/super/a5/cb/347233.JPG
Is that the best you could come up with?
Ya’ll don’t get it. Brandy has something on Monica that’s why Monica isn’t responding because she’s worried that Brandy might spill the beans. Its no like Monica is unborthered she is but afraid that whatever Brandy have on her if comes out people will look at her different. Monica is not as innocent as she sound. Ciara, Keyshia Cole, Lala Hathaway they know who the real Monica is.
Thank you Shannon I was just about to bring up Ciara. They had a falling out and have rekindled since then however when Monica is ASKED about Ciara she doesn’t speak on it. With brandy however she always does this “I’m a loving mother who doesn’t have time” bull crap and it’s just so transparent. Monica has always been jealous of brandy and I really like MO but it’s true! Monica want America’s sweet heart brandy was! Monica wasn’t the first black Cinderella brandy was! Monica wasn’t Whitney’s protege, brandy was! Monica wasn’t the first black woman vocalist to be endorsed by cover girl, brandy was! Monica wasn’t giving two and three seasons of hit TV shows, brandy was! Monica want selling more albums than brandy either! Monica was like the Keyshia Cole of the 90s just a rat b**** who could sang.
Monica is waaayyyy prettier. That’s not even up for discussion…. Lol
More biased bs. If she was prettier why didn’t she get tv shows, movie roles, modeling and endorsement gigs? Monica is local and basic as hell, stop with the delusions of grandeur.
The argument of who is prettier is subjective. No amount of tv roles and endorsements can determine how pretty someone is. Stop with the delusions.
Yeah Monica is gorgeous. Brandy on the other hand, looks like something that came out of my Dogs ass.
If something happened behind the scenes that Brandy is not happy about, then she should address it head on because when it’s all said and done, changing the lyrics to your music and making instagram posts are not going to make the issue go away, it only makes it worse.
When Brandy isn’t killing people on the streets with her car she likes to be a pretty mess.
Murderer.
Exhibit A, proof 1, case and point.
That poor kid who lost his parent cause of that ugly looking wreckless driver
Mother and daughter acting like two fools. I have second hand embarrassment for these two. How do you go from Brandy from the 90’s, to this joke. So sad.
You don’t care.
So disturbing. Brandy needs to grow the hell up. All of this old beef that still has her bothered, speaks more about her immaturity and insecurity. GROW UP, AND MOVE ON.
As for Brandy’s fans, the same can be said as well,.. GROW UP, AND MOVE ON.
Brandy’s over here signing flop contracts, being sued, and now arguing with people on instagram. Somebody come get this flop some help.
Brandy kookoo ass fans evade simple logic… if Monica’s so toxic and Brandy is soooo above her level, why did she agree to work with her AGAIN?
and now she’s acting innocent like she ain’t throwing subliminal shade for years… just stop. rejoyce on your newfound freedom and release great music like you have in the past. Two Eleven wasn’t all that, Human wasn’t all that, we need some Afrodisiac jams and Full Moon bops and not this type of mess!
All this drama and no music
The Norwood family is straight up trash. Fyi, Karma is a b****, because Brandy has fallen from grace hard. All that sneaky and shady s*** she’s pulled is catching up to her, and people are seeing her for who she truly is. Also, I just found out that her and Kelly Rowland don’t speak anymore, interesting, because Niecy Nash called it, and low key said Brandy was jealous of Kelly’s looks.
At this point Brandy should address the issue between she and Monica head on. All this instagram thuggery and changing lyrics during her celebratory moment made her look petty not like the trialblazer she is. No one is perfect Monica and Brandy both played a part in this rivalry but at this point for either of them to keep adding fuel to the fire of this damn near twenty year old beef is desperate for unnecessary attention. It’s time to allow both ladies to be great in their own right.
All y’all commenting and probably ain’t bought one dern single or album from either of these two
I can’t stand these blog comments anymore. You have people on here with their two bit one founded second hand information speaking like its gospel.
If there is a disagreement between these two women let then deal with it as they know whats going on, but for everyone to talk as if they know all or even a few parties involved is just ludicrous
It really seems like Brandy is in a beef all by herself! Monica spoke & congratulated Brandy and asked everyone to keep her name out of the drama! Monica is somewhere enjoying her husbands birthday & turning up while others create drama in their head! Brandy needs to learn she shouldn’t be responding to fans online like that! Ignore them!
Brandy this is not love and hip hop babe.
Leave that show to Ray J cus you not coming across well AT ALL.
It’s classless and transparently so.
Didn’t all this start with a comment Monica made about her friendship with Whitney, to which Brandy replied that Whitney was her (Brandy’s) godmother rather than Monica’s. Couldn’t Whitney have had a special relationship with BOTH women, each exclusive from the other. I’d say this is like women fighting over who gets to the be maid of honor at a wedding, but it’s not b/c in this case, the bride would be dead. This is making Brandy look really petty.
And joke is Monica in the segment said “Whitney really swept in like the fairy godmother she was to many of us”
Next min miss territorial posting Nippy which to be fair Brandy does quite a bit anyway but the tone of the message was distasteful. The world 150% knows Whitney loved her. She handed her a damn note before death etc…
Why Bran & Sonja chirp at that for? What is the end game and what are “these streets” she on about like she named Joseline Hernandez.
Wow Smdh what a mess
Why does she purposely incite drama and drag her fans into it for back up? Just stay off the internet. It will be a long time before I can listen to any Brandy music again. She is a real embarrassment at her age.
Embarrassing that Brandy and her mother would even respond to this. They’re hood trash just like the people talking sh!t about them.
