Days later, Mo – hot on the promo trail in support of her new Lil Baby-assisted tune ‘Trenches’ (which can be heard by clicking here) – took to Atlanta’s V-103 to discuss the magic of the showdown, her current relationship with B-Rocka, and even teased the idea of the two taking to the road for a highly anticipated joint tour.

Really great dialogue in this interview. It doesn’t make sense to be a fan and feel good about defending Brandy or Monica against the drama that you yourself create and feed into. Some of these young people think that’s what being loyal is, choosing one over the other, but like Monica said, loyalty is actually buying the music you say you love. Just show love and leave the hate out of it.
So Music Fans, let’s reflect on all the many mega-artist collaboration that music has offered us [Whitney&Mariah, Mariah&BoyzIImen, Beyonce&Alicia, Bey&Jay-z, Jay&Alicia, ect]. Now of that list, how many of those songs have resulted in blockbuster success? A rather small list right?
With the record breaking success of song The Boy Is Mine and now their Verzuz, this musical pairing [when under the right creative conditions], has not only proven its blockbuster status, but has made this paring legendary. Hate them or love them,..or better yet, hate one but Love the other, ….their rivalry does numbers like no other pairing. Hopefully if they do a tour, its not the typical in which their is a main closer.
It should mimic the Verzuz to a degree with altnate between sets of songs….and then have one big finale. Come on Ladies…as Independent Artist, work like smart business woman, put ego asides, and make money off of your Legendary Rivalry.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
It just makes sense.
I love hearing Monica speak. she has that wise beyond her years vibe and I just love how well she articulates her emotions.
True. She’s very articulate and well spoken.
There you have it. Monica was not feeling a certain way and was happy to be there. No attitude etc. She’s just more introverted whereas Brandy is extroverted and goofy cracking jokes and what not. Monica was in her head prepping for her next song and how to introduce it. They were nervous guys, this was a big deal. Legendary
Fun fact kids. Whitney was inspired by Brandy and Monica’s duet so she agreed in collaborating with Mariah for their When You Believe song.
Monica just has a spirit and wisdom that nourishes your soul and it’s pure and done unintentionally, which makes the words even stronger. SPEAKS FROM THE HEART!
The part about tap in to what your gifts are, have faith, reconnect to people etc… Loved it ❤️👑
