Brandy, Monica Are Ready To Capitalize Off Tour Momentum With New Music And Vegas Residency
As Brandy and Monica gear up for their co-headlining The Boy Is Mine tour, the women are already planning to capitalize off this meteoric momentum.
During their appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday (June 25), the R&B veterans spoke on the tour and their 'musical marriage.'
'I think it opens the door [for new music],' Brandy hinted. 'We need some songs to sing on the tour.' Monica confessed, 'We'll start working on some music immediately.' She also teased that some of that new material could be 'promoted on the road.'
Their last, proper collab came in 2012 with 'It All Belongs To Me.' They also reunited last June for Ariana Grande's reimagined version of 'the boy is mine.'
In a separate sit-down with ET, Monica questioned if 'now was a good time to create more music or leave the legacy as is' and Brandy quickly responded, 'We need to create more music and capitalize on this moment. I want to go to Vegas and do the residency after the tour. I'm thinking ahead.'
According to Brandy, The Boy Is Mine tour was 'twenty-seven years in the making' and is something that would've made mentor Whitney Houston 'proud.'
The highly-anticipated tour kicks off in Ohio this October with special guests Kelly Rowland, Muni Long, and Jamal Roberts.
'Monica and I coming together again isn't just about the music— it's about honoring where we came from and how far we've both come,' Brandy said following the announcement made on Tuesday (June 24).
Monica added, 'This tour is a celebration of our history, our impact, and the fans who have grown with us […] We're giving the people what they've been asking for.'

The Internet Is Completely Unstable After Jimmy Fallon And Jonathan Bailey Almost Kissed In Their "Slutty Little Glasses"
If you haven't been living under a prehistoric rock, you probably noticed that everybody's talking about Jonathan Bailey and his "slutty little glasses." When the trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth first dropped, people (especially me) couldn't stop talking about the seemingly seductive "optical support" of Dr. Henry Loomis. If you've got even a tiny taste of Jonathan on the Jurassic World Rebirth press tour, you'll notice that he's really embraced his spectacled sex appeal. And thanks to Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, we'll never recover from this tour. Before the Jimmy-of-it-all, on Jun. 17, when Entertainment Tonight asked Jonathan what he thinks of the fans' reaction to his "slutty little glasses," he coyly responded, "Slutty little glasses? Are you allowed to say the 'S' word?" Before crediting internet personality Blakely Thorton for coining the term. "I'm thrilled that people having a hormonal explosion linked to optical support. But, I think, yeah, glasses can go a long way. So, let's have the summer of slutty little glasses." Jonathan said what — Hello? 911, I would like to report a crime. Before the internet could pick our jaws off the floor, Jimmy and Jonathan decided to both recreate the "slutty little glasses" reveal from the movie.

Jonathan did a flirty lip bite, and their faces grew closer because he clearly doesn't understand how fragile his fandom can be. Then Jonathan and Jimmy leaned in like they were going to kiss. But, of course, they didn't! And that didn't matter. Pretending to kiss is enough to throw the internet into complete chaos, and if you thought Jonathan's "little glasses" were wild, thanks to Jimmy's antics, two pairs of "little glasses" about to kiss might cause a cataclysmic event.

Brandy & Monica Announce ‘The Boy Is Mine' Co-Headlining Tour With Kelly Rowland, Muni Long & Jamal Roberts: All the Dates
Actually, the boy is theirs. Nearly 30 years after they topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 13 weeks with their timeless duet 'The Boy Is Mine,' Brandy and Monica are teaming up for their first-ever co-headlining tour. As announced Tuesday (June 24), Brandy and Monica will launch their co-headlining The Boy Is Mine Tour on Oct. 16 at Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati. The 24-city trek will visit arenas in major U.S. cities including Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York before concluding Dec. 7 at the Toyota Center in Houston. More from Billboard Monica Gushes Over Ariana Grande's 'Boy Is Mine' Remix: 'As Soon As I Heard This Version, I Fell In Love' Lizzo Is Soundtracking Yitty Girl Summer with Her Upcoming 'My Face Hurts From Smiling' Mixtape Joe Bonamassa to Headline and Curate Florida's Sound Wave Beach Weekend Produced by Black Promoters Collective, The Boy Is Mine Tour will also feature an eye-popping lineup of special guests, including four-time Grammy winner Kelly Rowland, two-time Grammy winner Muni Long, and American Idol season 23 champ Jamal Roberts. Long dropped her fourth studio album, Revenge, last summer (Aug. 30, 2024), and Roberts recently notched a No. 1 debut on Hot Gospel Songs just weeks before tributing Kirk Franklin at the 2025 BET Awards. Earlier this month, Rowland was announced as The Voice UK's newest coach. 'This really is a full-circle moment,' Brandy, who landed at No. 41 on the Billboard staff's 75 Best R&B Singers of All Time list, said in a press release. 'Monica and I coming together again isn't just about the music — it's about honoring where we came from and how far we've both come. 'The Boy Is Mine' was a defining chapter in R&B, and to share the stage all these years later is bigger than a reunion — it's a celebration of growth, sisterhood, and the love our fans have given us from day one.' The R&B icons, who reunited on 2012's 'It All Belongs to Me,' announced their new tour with a cinematic short film helmed by filmmaker and production designer Ethan Tobman, who has worked with the likes of Beyoncé, Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift. Set in a maximum sound asylum, the tour trailer finds Brandy and Monica using their powerful and 'forbidden' harmonies to break free. 'The love that 'The Boy Is Mine' continues to receive means everything to me,' Monica said in a press release. 'This tour is a celebration of our history, our impact, and the fans who have grown with us. Brandy and I have been on our own unique journeys, and coming back together in this way is a reminder of the power of respect, strength, and real music. We're giving the people what they've been asking for, and doing it with grace, love, and purpose. God's timing perfectly aligned us.' Last year, Brandy and Monica earned their 13th and fifth Grammy nominations, respectively, thanks to their featured turn on Grande's 'The Boy Is Mine' remix. Named after their duet, Grande's Eternal Sunshine single reached No. 16 on the Hot 100 and soundtracked a Catwoman-inspired music video featuring cameos from all three ladies, as well as You actor Penn Badgley.
