Monica Ends The Boy Is Mine Concert Early As Brandy Rushes Off
Fans worry about Brandy after she disappeared backstage mid-song during The Boy Is Mine Tour, and Monica emotionally, the concert ended early before they could perform their hit duet together.
Is our favorite ok? What appeared to be a brief technical issue on the Chicago stop of the highly anticipated tour raised concerns that something far more serious had occurred. It remains unclear what ended Brandy and Monica's show on Saturday night. As the third concert in a row of the duo this week, it is clear that the concert did not go as planned, with “The boy is mine” as the finale.
The “Vocal Bible” beauty doesn't particularly care about professionalism or performances, so it shocked the audience when she quickly walked off the stage. The music and dancers continued for one of Brandy's earliest hits, “Baby.”
Brandy seemed to have a problem with the audio, and another contestant's view showed her confronting the sound technician. Some comments also noted problems with Monica's microphone in the series.
Many comments claimed that it was the last sighting of the Full moon star with no further explanation as to why she never returned.
Monica's farewell message after Brandy's sudden departure
After about 30 minutes of waiting, Monica returned to finish the concert solo. Like a polished pro, the “So Gone” singer didn't leave fans hanging, but fans noted that she sounded emotional in her farewell message about the honor of sharing the stage with Brandy. Some posts on social media claimed that Monica herself broke down in tears and asked fans to lift up Brandy.
Speculation swirled about everything from production problems to a possible medical emergency backstage. Disappointed and confused attendees took to social media about the incident with prayers for Brandy and demands for refunds.
Longtime supporters of both Grammy-winning legends thought it would take a serious problem to stop the show from going on. While there are no updates on Brandy personally, a history of health scares made the breakup more concerning.
In 2022, the “Have you ever?” icon was hospitalized after a reported possible seizures. According to TMZshe thanked fans for the outpouring of support. Brandy's reassuring message cited “dehydration and low amounts of nutrition” for the medical emergency.
Hopefully what happened during the show this weekend is nothing serious.
