In a sisterly move onstage, Monica grabbed Ray J's phone mid-concert at The Boy Is Mine Tour in Atlanta on Dec. 4. This playful punishment came right after Ray J's viral rants about an alleged beef between Beyoncé and Brandy. Fans are buzzing over the timing amid his recent arrest drama.
Oh, the tea is piping hot from the R&B tour that's got everyone talking! Monica, ever the no-nonsense queen, decided enough was enough with Ray J's nonstop social media antics. During their Atlanta show on Dec. 4 as part of The Boy Is Mine Tour, she straight-up snatched his phone from the front row. 'Before we leave here, I am going to take Ray J’s phone. Ray J, give me the phone… give me the phone, Ray,' she announced to the cheering crowd. Ray J handed it over, and Monica kept it real: 'We love you, Ray J. Y’all make some noise for Ray J. He’s not just Brandy’s brother, but he’s my brother, too.' 😏
Brandy couldn't resist chiming in with some shade-tinged humor: 'I hope you know I’m [gonna] have to hear this all night, ‘Monica is my sister now!'' This all unfolded just days after Ray J's arrest for allegedly pulling a gun on his ex-wife, Princess Love, during a heated argument over their kids. He livestreamed the mess on Twitch, yelling, 'I’ll shoot the f*** out of you,' which got him a lifetime ban from the platform. Ray J clapped back in a deleted video, claiming he was just defending the children from Princess driving drunk.
But wait, there's more mess! Ray J had been dragging Beyoncé and Jay-Z on Instagram for supposedly snubbing Brandy at multiple tour stops. 'Come on, say what’s up to Brandy. JAY-Z and Beyoncé, for y’all to come to every show and not speak to B, I don’t like that,' he fumed, accusing them of walking past her dressing room while chatting up Monica. Fans are side-eyeing some shady, deleted comments from Brandy's Instagram—like 'That’s my outfit you down here in' and 'I dare you to come down here again and take a picture with me it will go viral!!!'—suspecting Ray J hacked it for the troll. 🤔
Monica still had Ray J's back, insisting 'in all he does, he means well.' His mom, Sonja Norwood, jumped in too, defending her son from online backlash. Fans aren't buying it, accusing Ray J of stirring this Bey-Brandy pot to distract from the domestic drama. Whew, family ties are tested—will Monica keep that phone locked away for good?
