Brandy and Monica have surprised fans with their iconic hit “The Boy Is Mine” by hopping on the official remix of Ariana Grande‘s rendition of the 1998 song. Released on Friday (June 21), the song hears the two legendary singers add their vocals to a track they’d previously reunited over to support in the music video.
The visual opens with the two icons taking on the roles of news anchors prefacing a speech by disheveled mayor Max Starling, played by Penn Badgley.
Listen to the official remix below.
Earlier this year, Monica told Ray J to stop talking about a potential tour featuring her and his sister Brandy.
During an appearance on The Breakfast Club, the “Sexy Can I” hitmaker expanded on the idea of a concert series by the two R&B stars. He originally sparked the conversation in the comments of an Instagram Live by Monica.
“I’ve been repeatedly contacted about interviews etc. where my name and tour possibilities are being discussed,” she subsequently wrote in a lengthy social-media post. “I’ve not received any contracts or calls about the said tour. @rayj I’m kindly asking you to stop speaking to me in public! A private conversation would both be necessary and respectful! Brandy is a LEGEND! She’s one with an extensive back catalog that I deeply respect & a voice sent from heaven.
“The conversation being had without her and I is beginning to muddy the waters severely! She and I are both consummate professionals who share a massive recording as well as an entire era! Please allow this to remain positive and beautiful! Neither should open, we should give someone else that opportunity and co-headline a massive shared stage if this is to ever happen. Any further convo should be private!”
She later added: “I get it, I will forever be the ‘bad guy’ in this situation and no one will EVER pay attention or read/ listen to understand !!! I have no issues with anyone but it’s not real unless there’s a deal!!! There’s no 100 million. No contract.
“Media outlets calling for comments about an imaginary tour & this unfairly spikes the excitement of our supporters and the insinuation that the hold up of said (imaginary) deal taking place is ME! The breakfast club interview is the first I’ve acknowledged of the antics! We both deserve the respect of real business being done.”
