Fans of Brandy and Monica’s classic smash song “The Boy Is Mine” were taken aback when they heard Ariana Grande cover the song in its original remix from 1998.
The two iconic singers lend their voices to a song they had previously reunited over for support in the music video for the song, which was released on Friday, June 21.
The graphic opens with the two titans taking on the duties of news anchors prefacing a speech by disheveled mayor Max Starling, played by Penn Badgley.
Listen to the official remix below.
Ray J was advised by Monica earlier this year to stop bringing up the possibility of her and his sister Brandy going on tour.
The “Sexy Can I” hitmaker discussed the concept of the two R&B stars doing a concert series in greater detail during an appearance on The Breakfast Club. He started the discussion in the comments section of a Monica Instagram Live.
In a lengthy social media post that followed, she stated, “I’ve been contacted about interviews etc. where my name and tour possibilities are being discussed.” “As for the trip, I haven’t had any calls or contracts. @Rayj Please quit talking negatively about me in public! It would be appropriate and necessary to have a private discussion! Brandy is an ICON! She has a voice straight out of heaven, a huge back catalog, and my utmost respect.
“The discussion that is taking place without her and me is seriously clouding the issues! We are two complete specialists that share an entire era and a large recording! Please let this stay lovely and optimistic! If this is ever going to happen, none of us should open; instead, we should offer someone else the chance and co-headline a huge shared stage. Any more conversations ought to be held in private.
Later on, she said, “I recognize that I will always be the “bad person” in this scenario and that nobody will ever read, listen, or pay attention to comprehend!!! I don’t have problems with anyone, but unless there’s an agreement, it’s not real! It is not a 100 mill. Not a contract.
“Media outlets requesting feedback for a fictitious tour unjustly heighten our followers’ enthusiasm and imply that ME is the reason why the fictitious agreement isn’t happening! The first time I’ve recognized the shenanigans is during the breakfast club interview! Real commercial dealings are due respect for both of us.
