What really happened in Chicago?

You already know that fans were thrilled to see Brandy and Monica again at their The Boy Is Mine tour stop in Chicago. But things didn’t go quite as planned. During the performance of her hit song “Baby,” Brandy could be seen pointing out technical issues to the crew, particularly something wrong with her sound. “Give me a second, y’all, I gotta get my…” she said before heading backstage… and never returning.

According to fans in the building, Brandy didn’t take the stage again that night and Monica was left to fend for herself. Monica remained kind and professional, still sharing her love for her tourmate and giving the audience a performance. However, many noticed that the two didn’t perform their classic collaboration “The Boy Is Mine” until the end of the show. At the time, Brandy’s camp had yet to issue a statement, leaving online fans confused and concerned about what was going on behind the scenes.
