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.'

Brandy & Monica Announce First-Ever Co-Headlining Tour: The Boy Is Mine
Featuring Kelly Rowland, Muni Long, & 2025 American Idol Winner Jamal Roberts Mini-Movie Available for Embed – NEW YORK, June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The highly anticipated The Boy Is Mine Tour was officially announced today on CBS Mornings by Brandy and Monica. The iconic GRAMMY Award-winning artists will embark on their first-ever co-headlining run this fall. Produced by Black Promoters Collective, the 24-city arena tour kicks off October 16 and travels across the U.S. through December 7. It also marks a historic moment more than 25 years in the making, building on the legacy of their 1998 game-changing duet "The Boy Is Mine," which spent a record-shattering 13 consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a defining cultural touchstone of late '90s R&B. The song also placed them in an elite group of artists — including Whitney Houston (14 weeks with "I Will Always Love You") and Mariah Carey (16 weeks with "One Sweet Day") — who have commanded the Hot 100's top spot for 13 weeks or more. Joining them on the road is a powerhouse lineup of special guests: GRAMMY-winning superstar Kelly Rowland, chart-topping singer-songwriter and GRAMMY winner Muni Long, and rising star Jamal Roberts, fresh off his 2025 American Idol Season 23 win. With talent that spans generations—from foundational to future—the tour is positioned to be one of the most unforgettable, unmissable live events of the year. Last year Brandy and Monica captivated a new generation with a surprise cameo in Ariana Grande's "the boy is mine" music video from her GRAMMY-nominated album Eternal Sunshine. Then, in a full-circle moment, they lent their voices to the official remix. The video appearance sparked a viral frenzy, racking up millions of views and "the boy is mine" remix with Grande earned the duo a GRAMMY nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance—more than 25-years after the original win for "The Boy Is Mine," which took home Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 1999 GRAMMY Awards. The Boy Is Mine Tour promises a celebration of two of the most influential voices in R&B, each with catalogues full of era-defining hits that have shaped the genre across decades. It's a monumental moment: it's not only the first time Brandy and Monica have toured together, but a generational convergence honoring their unmatched influence while ushering in a bold new era of R&B. "Bringing Brandy and Monica together for this tour is more than just a moment — it's a cultural homecoming," says Shelby Joyner, President of Black Promoters Collective. "Their impact on R&B is immeasurable, and 'The Boy Is Mine' continues to be one of the most iconic collaborations of all time. At BPC, we're committed to celebrating culture and legacy, and this tour is a powerful example of both." "This really is a full-circle moment. 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." — Brandy "The love that 'The Boy Is Mine' continues to receive means everything to me. 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." — Monica Fans can expect a powerful, soul-stirring, and high-energy night of music and vocal brilliance, backed by a live band and special collaborative moments on stage.

Her self-titled debut album made her one of the youngest solo artists in history to chart multiple Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including "Have You Ever?" and "I Wanna Be Down." Her 1998 duet with Monica, "The Boy Is Mine," spent a record-breaking 13 weeks at #1 and remains one of the most iconic songs in R&B history. Brandy made history as the first Black actress to play Cinderella in Disney's Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella alongside Whitney Houston—a cultural landmark she reprised in 2024's Descendants: The Rise of Red. In 2015, she brought her signature power and charisma to Broadway in a sold-out run as Roxie Hart in Chicago, and in 2020, she released her critically acclaimed seventh studio album B7 on her own imprint Brand Nu Entertainment. In 2024, she reunited with Monica on Ariana Grande's "the boy is mine" remix—earning another GRAMMY nomination, 25 years after their original win. Her forthcoming memoir will offer an intimate, unfiltered look at her journey from Mississippi church stages to global superstardom, sharing the path she's taken to find her voice as an artist, mother, and woman. ABOUT MONICAMonica is a GRAMMY Award-winning, multi-platinum recording artist, actress, philanthropist, and entrepreneur who has sold over 30 million records worldwide. Born and raised in Atlanta, she began her career at just 12 years old and made history as the youngest female ever to have two back-to-back #1 hits on Billboard's R&B chart. Her legendary duet with Brandy, "The Boy Is Mine," spent a record-breaking 13 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was later named #2 on Billboard's "Greatest of All Time Songs of the Summer." Monica is the first artist with #1 Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs in three consecutive decades—joining the ranks of icons like Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, James Brown, and Marvin Gaye. In 2019, she launched her independent label MonDeenise Music with the #1 single "Commitment," and her first full-length studio album under the imprint, MDA, is scheduled for release in 2026. Last spring, she was the special guest on Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday 2 Tour—the highest grossing rap tour ever by a woman—and on June 21, 2024 she reunited with Brandy for Ariana Grande's "the boy is mine" remix from Grande's GRAMMY-nominated Eternal Sunshine album. That collaboration earned Monica a 2024 GRAMMY nomination, 25 years after her original GRAMMY win for "The Boy Is Mine." She's also set to release her debut country album Open Roads in 2026, executive produced by Brandi Carlile.
