Brandy (L) and Monica Credit: Tour promo
A song like “The Boy Is Mine” might be unlikely in 2025 (what’s the point of conflict over some dude, anyway?).
That’s not stopping its creators—R&B queens Brandy Norwood and Arnold—from hitting the road with the duet 27 years after it climbed to the top of the Billboard 100.
Fans young and old don’t have to pick a team anymore, but they should be ready for two separate headlining sets along with shared stage time that includes covers (Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” is in the setlist) and more.
Consider getting suited up for the show and get there early for sets by Destiny’s Child’s Kelly Rowland and “Love” hitmaker Keyshia Cole, the latter of whom just headlined the same room last July.
