The Boy Is Mine Tour: Brandy & Monica—One Stage, 25 Years Later

Twenty-five years after topping charts with their iconic duet, Brandy and Monica are back with fire—owning the spotlight and taking over like they never left before. Today kickstarts the official ticket sales for The Boy Is Mine Tour, a 24-city celebration spanning North America this fall. If you grew up on those endless R&B hooks and harmonies, this is the moment you’ve been waiting for.

Brandy x Monica
From Chart-Topping Duo to Feuding Foes… and Back Again
In May 1998, “The Boy Is Mine” exploded onto the scene, and took the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for 13 whole weeks, selling over 2.6 million copies, and earning Brandy and Monica a Grammy for Best R&B Vocal Performance . However, tension arose behind the success; rumours were circulated by public opinion and industry pressure, leading to a backstage clash prior to their MTV VMA performance.
During the Verzuz showdown in 2020, the long-dormant relationship was rekindled. In 2024, a remix featuring Ariana Grande provided audiences a sense of nostalgia while demonstrating to both artists that their magic endures.
A Whole-Circle Celebration
Now, Monica and Brandy are back together and unrepentant. As Brandy put it, “This really is a full‑circle moment… honoring where we came from and how far we’ve both come.” Monica echoes this sentiment, calling the tour “a celebration of our history, our impact, and the fans who have grown with us” .
It’s more than just a concert; it’s a tribute to sisterhood, growth, and legacy.
