June 24 (UPI) -- Music icons Brandy and Monica are going on tour.
The singers, who collaborated on the 1998 hit song "The Boy is Mine," released a Boy is Mine Tour teaser video Tuesday.
The trailer shows an apparent jail warden walking a new hire to her office, where she is told not to let Brandy and Monica hear one another.
"This is a maximum sound asylum. We keep sounds from getting out," he explains. "These two could destroy the world as we know it if they hear each other. All I care about is that you keep that from happening."
"It just finally felt like the right time," Brandy said in an interview on CBS Mornings. "And I'm just so honored to be here."
"The Boy is Mine" appeared on Brandy's 1998 album Never Say Never and Monica's album The Boy is Mine, released that same year.

Feeling nostalgic? 24/7 music videos return to MTV ahead of the 2025 VMAs
MTV is bringing back a taste of nostalgia and iconic jams to our television screens. Ahead of the 2025 Video Music Awards in September, the network plans to air "classic and current" music videos 24/7 for a week on the channels MTV 2, MTV Live and MTV Classic, according to a press release. The special, described as "a revival of the brand's early DNA for today's audiences," will also feature MTV personalities and previous VMA winners who will highlight their favorite music videos. MTV changed the game with its launch in 1981, playing music around the clock and breaking new stars. It shifted the artists' focus from solely radio to also their visual image. The boy is (still) theirs: Brandy and Monica reunite for The Boy is Mine Tour When are the 2025 Video Music Awards? The VMAs are scheduled to air live on Sunday, Sept. 7 at 8 p.m. ET from UBS Arena in New York. The award show will be broadcast on both CBS and MTV as well as be available to stream on Paramount+, the press release stated. The nominees and performers have yet to be announced. This year's VMAs will mark the return of producer and CEO of digital media company Gunpowder & Sky, who has been tied to epic moments, such as Beyoncé's 2011 mic-dropping performance when she revealed she was pregnant. "We're not just producing a show. We're launching a celebration of music that spans one week, every screen and every generation," Gunpowder & Sky CEO Van Toffler said in the press release. "Music has always been the heartbeat of the VMAs, but the show's soul comes from its willingness to break rules, embrace unpredictability and reflect the times." Contributing: Jim Lenahan, USA TODAY.

TikTok Brought These Classics Back
Source: KiddNation / Kidd Nation TikTok is doing a wonderful job of bridging the gap of music and culture between generations. As we continue our Black Music Month celebration, we recall the countless classic songs by Black artists that have had a sudden resurgence thanks to TikTok. There are numerous viral dances or unexpected, relatable trends that have come from the popular social media platform. It is remarkable to witness the power and influence of TikTok's community as they are drawn to the Black songs that have had a significant impact on music and pop culture. The beautiful part about these classic songs regaining popularity is that a new generation of people are learning of their greatness. Surely, the Black artists experiencing an influx of streams and follows are just as happy about the recent discovery. Fans and social media users remember when Brandy and Monica's 'The Boy Is Mine' began to trend on TikTok or when Guy's 'I Like' came about with a fun, new dance. TikTok trends are almost comparable to the way new artists sample classic records. You don't know why you like it, but you innately do. It's a wondrous full circle experience for the artist, the fan and the art itself. TikTok continues to explore the origins, triumphs, and complexities of genres popular in the app today throughout Black Music Month. They aim to shine a light on the artists and creators who entertain and inspire the TikTok community and continue to shift the culture with innovations of their own. With special programming including Diddy, Doechii, Baby Tate, Tai Verdes, Fousheé, and more, TikTok has many more exciting things on the way to continue celebrating this month. Read more about TikTok's Black Music Month initiatives and programming here. While we await the next classic song to resurface thanks to TikTok's many trends, we compiled a list of classic Black tracks that have had a resurgence on the platform in the past year.
