‘One Wish’ singer Ray J will likely wish he hadn’t taken to social media to assert Monica go on tour with his sister and her fellow R&B icon Brandy after he gets a load of the former’s response to the suggestion.
As reported here, Ray took to Instagram last week during one of Monica’s live sessions to comment his belief it’s time ‘The Boy is Mine’ hitmakers embarked on a world tour.

The statement caught the eye of many-a-dedicated fan of the R&B divas, many of whom have been calling for the GRAMMY winners to launch a jaunt live effort for years.

Ray J – I’m kindly asking you to stop speaking on me in public! A private conversation would be both necessary and respectful! Brandy is a LEGEND! She’s one of one with an extensive catalog that I deeply respect and a voice sent from heaven! The conversation being had without she and I is beginning to muddy the waters severely! She and I are both consummate professionals that share a massive recording as well as an entire era! Please allow this to remain positive and beautiful! Neither should open, we should give someone else that opportunity and co-headline a massive shared stage if this is to ever happen! Any further convo should be private,” she relayed.

At the time of this report Ray nor Brandy has not responded to Mo’s lengthy statement.

Speak yo s***, Mo. Ray J is chldish af. Mr Attention, with nothing else to do. Wife gone, sold his company…
This tour needs to happen. The time is now. Let Mya open
Mya to open?? That’s disrespectful
I was just thinking this…
Mya is often forgotten amongst brandy Monica and Aaliyah. She was also a huge force for black t*** pop back in the 90s and held her own for a few years. Those 4 were the original Britney Christina Jessica and Mandy before t*** pop went white again in the 90s.
Mya should be the main opener and then they should have two new girlies open up with small sets before her and then the main event being Brandy/Monica.
He shouldn’t have poked Goonica, suggesting she open the show. He gonna always be a clown.
Monica will check you and keep it classy.
Yes, they need an opener and they both headline.
Auntie said, not today. But her and Brandy already got it boo
This tour needs to happen for the culture. Ray J STFU with the slick shade. Brandy over there like “damn bro, don’t f it up” 🤦🏽♀️
They both winning. Put the dumb comparisons and mess to the side and make that shmunnney honeys.
Give me. VIP meet and greet.
Let Coco Jones or Arie Lennox open
Team Bran and Mo. Ray J like attention
This headline should have read that Ray suggested Monica be the opener. That was why he got checked. The both should headline
But where did he suggested that she will open
In a Breakfast Club interview. This article is incomplete since it doesn’t even mention the part that really struck a nerve for Monica, those statements during the Breakfast Club interview by Ray J and Jess about Monica being the one who should open the tour/perform first.
That was disrespectful to suggest Monica open for Brandy and vice versa! Give another artist from their Era a chance to resurface their music: 702, Nivea, Lil Mo, Amerie, Tierra-Marie, or Mya’.
That’s disrespectful to Mya she may not have gotten as big as those 2 but she certainly got close and had a good run herself. She has 1 Grammy just like them.
Monica said it all. There’s nothing else to say.
Such a drama Queen. C’mon he said it like he meant it because he’s rooting for you guys. It didn’t come from a bad place. Her comment is so stupid.
Respect Monica
