The announcement, made during a joint interview on “CBS Mornings” on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, confirmed long-standing rumors and fan hopes for a collaborative stage venture from the acclaimed artists. The tour promises to be a significant event in contemporary R&B, bringing together two of the genre’s most enduring voices.

The decision to embark on this tour follows decades of individual success and occasional collaborations, making this extensive joint effort a landmark moment for both artists and their dedicated fan bases.
Special Guest Lineup
Adding further excitement to the tour is the confirmation of a dynamic lineup of special guests who will join Brandy and Monica on select dates. The announced guests include Grammy Award-winning artist Kelly Rowland, known for her solo success and tenure in Destiny’s Child; acclaimed R&B singer-songwriter Muni Long; and multifaceted artist Jamal Roberts. Their inclusion suggests a show that will celebrate various facets of modern R&B and offer diverse performances alongside the headliners.
Specific dates or cities where each guest artist will perform were not immediately detailed in the initial announcement, but their participation underscores the high profile of “The Boy Is Mine Tour.”
A Long-Awaited Collaboration
The joint interview saw Brandy and Monica reflect on the genesis of the tour, revealing that discussions and attempts to organize a collaborative tour date back as far as 1998, just a year after the release of their seminal duet. Despite various obstacles and conflicting schedules over the years, the artists stated that the timing finally felt right for them to unite for a full tour.
“The Boy Is Mine,” released in 1998, became a cultural phenomenon, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and earning a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group. The song’s narrative of two women confronting each other over a shared romantic interest resonated widely and cemented Brandy and Monica’s status as leading figures of late 1990s R&B.
Anticipation Builds
The announcement has already generated considerable buzz across social media platforms and entertainment news outlets, highlighting the lasting impact of Brandy and Monica’s work and the nostalgia associated with their iconic collaboration. Fans have eagerly awaited a more extensive joint project, and “The Boy Is Mine Tour” represents the fulfillment of that wish on a grand scale.
The tour is expected to feature performances of their individual hits, fan favorites, and, undoubtedly, a joint rendition of the title track that brought them together in the first place. The combined vocal talents and stage presence of Brandy and Monica, supported by notable guests, promise a memorable concert experience for attendees.
Further details regarding ticket sales, additional tour stops, and specific guest appearances per city are anticipated in the coming weeks. The “The Boy Is Mine Tour” is poised to be one of the most significant R&B events of the fall, marking a historic reunion for two beloved artists.
