‘There’s always room for us to work with each other…always!’
Exciting words lifted from a recent interview with R&B veteran Monica when quizzed on the status of her next album, the follow-up to 2015’s ‘Code Red.’
Name-dropping the likes of Missy Elliott, Polow Da Don, Dallas Austin, Pharrell Williams, and Timbaland as ‘wish-list contributors’ for what will come as her 9th studio effort, the Grammy-winner recently took to our friends at Essence to indicate she is also looking for up-and-coming creators to lend their hand in crafting her new music as evidenced by her ‘Drop the Beat’ songwriter/producer contest (click here for more details).
As she readies the new-new, the songstress was also quizzed on her iconic duet with Brandy, ‘The Boy Is Mine,’ as it celebrates its 20th anniversary in the coming months. Despite what many have perceived as an ongoing feud between them (click here to read more on that), Mo had nothing but glowing things to say about the ‘Full Moon’ beauty and even suggested the two could work together again if given the opportunity.

Monica….the boy is brandys …
.its her man….and Brandi is going to call her girl MC Lyte and Queen Latifah to beat your as.s
No why you acting like a 5 year old. Those ladies are good friends! It’s the childish fans that create drama and in this situation not the ladies!
Btch they’re the ones that started the drama…. let’s battle each other over a man and see who wins
Brandy is still touring and doing fox Star so she continues to work consistently and her vocals are strong and on poinT! I dont think Monica has the chops to perform on her level anymore. All she does is stay having babies and singing in the local church choir currently except for the small stint she did with Xscape she hasnt done Anything lately. Sorry Mo but naw you need to build your stamina first to hang with Brandy work ethic
You just spewed a whole lot of garbage. First of of all, I follow Monica, and she STAYS booked doing shows left and right. As for Brandy’s ugly ass, she is not on tour at all, and was only doing a couple of shows with Brian McKnight that were full of EMPTY seats.
Now instead of spewing propaganda, you need to be worried about you fav having mental breakdowns every two mins, gaining weight because of the anti psychotic pills she’s taking, and why no one gives a sh/t about her vocal pamphlet garbage sounding ass.
That being said,..you tried and failed.
You Brandy fans stay talking s*** and spreading lies to make your ugly ass Sha-nay-nay from Martin looking fav look good. Monica stays booked, you’re not a fan, so you wouldn’t know that. As for the video above, she was in NYC appearing on a morning show, and doing a show at Madison Square Garden. So once again, she stays booked. As for Brandy, who plays with filters all day to appear light skinned? the fact that you just lied about her being on tour LMAO!!. Just stop, because the more you Brandy fans lie, the more her eyes spreads ? Now I suggest you go check on your girl, because she’s having another one of her monthly mental breakdowns.
At sky and Case but why yall so made tho LOL! They both out here making coins but Brandy has done #facts. Im not of fan of neither but the truth is Monica stays having babies so how can she work consistently?? These women are grown about theyre buissness and FRIENDS dummies! Im pretty sure in real life they dont give af about any of you Ratchette fans holding on to some dumb a** rivalry thats years left behind! Y’all stay mad for no reason at all LOL!
What a lovely lady she is. So well spoken and she delivers everything perfectly!
Monica can go hard when she wants to she out sung Keyshia Cole on that song I don’t Keisha’s knew that Monica could outsing her like that
these two need to put aside any drama and tour together… a joint tour would bring in crazy numbers.
Hope she makes a good comeback
She just needs better management and to stop singing about her happy marriage and family.
Give me after the storm Monica
Who cares? They have GREAT hits but there time is expired………….
It’s dead now sis. No one is interested in a duet anymore.
Monica don’t even mix your energy with Brandy’s negative bitter drama filled ass.
That being said, Bring it on Mo! Looking forward to what you have in store.
I can’t wait! I love Monica!! Her talent, voice, beauty, and genuine and loving spirit is so enamouring.
Concerning the duet, I definitely don’t want another one, because Brandy disturbs my soul. Something about her is so off, from her negativity, drama, to her constant shading of the other R&B girls. Smh. So that’s a no from me.
What people failed to realize that both Monica and Brandy hate each other. They both are fake especially on social media. Fake Fake and Fake
cuz they both g**
I like Monica but her voice is the same since 14 but Brandy’s vocals continue to grow year by year so many layers and quality such trance rich filled textures and versatile but tone and runs vocal bible has tried to be duplicated
I HAVE to disagree. Monica’s 14 voice on miss thang were the best vocals she ever gave. Go me, even though somebody of the music has been good, the vocals have been downhill from there.
?I love Monica!? Bring on the album!
Hang it up Monica, Brandy isn’t ready especially to sing & get another Grammy award for bot of y’all Soul sounds!!
I was just blasting her song (Ain’t nobody ft Trench). Man Monica is everything! Looking forward to new music.
Heeeyyy thats my jam
I’m telling you, I love this song!
