Brandy and Monica are reuniting for The Boy Is Mine Tour, 27 years after their Grammy-winning hit.
In an exciting moment for music fans. R&B legends Brandy and Monica are finally reuniting for the new tour: “The Boy Is Mine Tour.” This comes 27 from their iconic duet that took the charts by storm.
The singers, known for the unforgettable 1998 song, “The Boy Is Mine,” have decided to put the past behind them to carry on the legacy of their song and give fans the reunion they’ve been yearning for for decades.
The Boy Is Mine hit the airwaves in 1998, and it became an instant worldwide smash hit. At one point, it held the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for 13 weeks and won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group. Nonetheless, it wasn’t simply a hit; it was an entire pop culture moment.
The lyrics showed the two women having a sort of musical “argument” while fighting over the same man, and both Brandy and Monica executed their characters with class and confidence.
However, the media was rife with rumors that there was some pretty significant behind-the-scenes tension.
The artists’ fans sometimes aligned with one artist or the other, and the media implied the two artists did not get along for years, which had understandably fueled an impossible notion of ever having a full collaboration or full collaboration tour.
Now, after what seems to be nearly 30 years, the two singers have decided to embrace unity instead of rivalry. In a viral social media post, they stated:
“It’s time to honor the music, the memories, and the fans who supported us throughout the years. We are proud to stand together and perform the songs that changed our lives.”
Brandy and Monica’s reunion comes at a great moment. There has been a rising wave of 90s and early 2000s nostalgia, when fans want to relive the music of their youth. Brandy and Monica’s reunion is much more than a concert; it is a cultural moment.
The Boy Is Mine Tour will be launching in early 2026 and will be hitting all of the major U.S. cities, with dates to be determined in Europe and Asia to follow. While the full list of tour stops hasn’t been released yet, we know it will include a mix of their solo chart-toppers and duets.
Brandy will perform songs from her collection that includes classics like “Have You Ever,” “Sittin’ Up in My Room,” and “Almost Doesn’t Count,” while Monica will likely stick to her favorites like “Angel of Mine,” “So Gone,” and “Before You Walk Out of My Life.” But the main highlight will be them together on stage to perform “The Boy Is Mine.”
This tour will also serve as an opportunity to resolve some old miscommunications. In recent years, Brandy and Monica have shared details of being young black women in the music industry, and the pressure that came along with it.
They noted they were often forced into rivalry together, not from their personal choices but from the systems that surround them.
Brandy and Monica are making history for the second time, but this time away from rivalry, and rooted in respect and friendship, and some unforgettable music. The Boy Is Mine Tour is about more than a song – it is about a journey that has been over 27 years in the making.
