They were thrilled to see Monica, who's profile bio lists that she's a "rap song muse," was a "good sport" about the pop culture references made about her. "This has to be one the the best tweets of all time," wrote one fan on X, formerly known as Twitter. Another said, "Happy to see you doing well and joking about it. You have taken so much, and you still have a sense of humor. Very impressive. Have a great week Monica."

"Don't sell yourself short, you are far more than a punchline. You are a symbol of overcoming the bullying and vitriol," a third chimed in.
Rapper Mark Random wrote, "Monica im gonna write a positive song about you, im being sincere, i know what its like for the world around you to judge your entire life by one moment, where can i learn about you, what podcast or body of work(books) best represent your life and ill record the love letter."
In a 2015 Ted Talk, Monica claimed she was referenced in almost 40 rap songs, including tracks from Eminem and Nicki Minaj. However, the
Cut
analyzed data from Genius, discovering Monica is referenced in over 128 songs. Of those songs, one of the most popular is G-eazy's track which uses her namesake.
In the tune, G-Eazy follows "Molly and that Whisky" with Monica's name, making a play on how the two phrases sound similar. He adds in the lyric, "It'll make her work." He also throws in some more sexual lyrics like "squirt" and "twerk."
Ironically, G-Eazy previously confessed to
E! News
in 2022 to crushing on Halle Berry big time. He explained what he likes in a women, declining to choose between blondes and brunettes and, instead, saying he's into "beautiful women."
Monica is known for her affair with President Bill Clinton while he was acting president. While, at first, he denied the accusation, claiming he "did not have sexual relations with that woman," the truth eventually prevailed. Clinton, under oath, insisted they were not ensnared in a sexual relationship. Later, he claimed he did not commit perjury due to some debatable definitions of words he used.
Thereafter, she faced harsh public ridicule with her life being dissected by the general public.
