Monica<\/a> clearly isn\u2019t one of the \u201cSpend Dat\u201d haters. The songstress incorporated the song into her set during her performance at Essence Fest this year.\u00a0<\/p>\nAfter Yung Miami, aka Caresha, saw the \u201cBoy Is Mine\u201d singer embrace the hit song, she praised Monica on Instagram.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAhhhh\u2026. This is what an OG look like!!!\u201d wrote Yung Miami. \u201cThank you @monicadenise for hitting that sh*t one time and showing ya girl some LOVE. We can celebrate each other\u2019s wins and just have a good time! This is sisterhood this is black excellence!! Thank you Monica you\u2019ve truly always been a REAL ONE & stay embracing and pouring into the girls! A ICON, A LEGEND \u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI Love You @yungmiami305 Support and sisterhood is my stance always,\u201d Monica responded. \u201cSo much love for you and your family!\u201d<\/p>\n
The moment comes after India.Arie sparked extensive online debate with her criticism of the song.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I did not call for a boycott; I commented on someone\u2019s thread calling for a boycott,\u201d she said in an Instagram video<\/a> in early July. \u201cI think people should learn how to do what\u2019s best for them. That\u2019s what I want for people. I want you to have an understanding of what\u2019s good for you, and have the love for yourself to do it. That\u2019s what I want. But also, who cares what I want for you? I know what I want for me, and I do what is best for me. \u2026 I think people just need to make choices for themselves.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The R&B diva incorporated the viral hit into her latest performance, and Caresha couldn\u2019t have been happier.
