The Boy Is Mine Reunited: Brandy & Monica’s 2024 Tour Ignites Nostalgia with Star-Studded Lineup
Maya Rivers here — poet of the pop era, chronicler of soulful echoes, and keeper of the flame for every duet that ever made us cry into our headphones. And oh, what a flame this is. The air crackles with the kind of magic only two voices can summon: Brandy and Monica, those velvet-throated queens of ’90s R&B, are finally doing it — they’re touring again. Not just touring, mind you, but reuniting in full theatrical splendor for The Boy Is Mine Tour, a celebration so potent it feels less like a concert series and more like a time machine wrapped in sequins and soul.
It all kicks off on October 16th, as if the universe itself had been holding its breath since 1998, when their chart-topping collaboration “The Boy Is Mine” didn’t just dominate the Billboard Hot 100 — it rewired our emotional wiring. Now, two decades later, Brandy confesses to CBS Morning News with a laugh that’s both wistful and electric: “They’ve been trying to get us to do a tour since ’98.” And finally, after years of near-misses and scheduling ghosts, it’s happening. “It finally felt like the right time,” she says, and honestly? We believe her. Because when two legends who once sang about shared heartbreak now stand together on stage, it’s not nostalgia — it’s alchemy.
Monica adds her own poetic touch: “Expect a celebration of music, a celebration of womanhood.” And let’s be real — that line alone deserves a standing ovation. But the show isn’t just about them. Oh no. This is a full-blown constellation of talent. Special guests Kelly Rowland, Muni Long, and the rising star Jamal Roberts — fresh off his 2025 “American Idol” victory — will light up the stage like supernovas. Kelly Rowland brings the timeless fire of “Dilemma,” Muni Long delivers the hypnotic pulse of “Hrs & Hrs,” and Jamal Roberts offers the healing hymn “Heal.” Together, they form a sonic tapestry where past and future collide in harmony.
And yes, New York City gets three nights of pure magic. Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on November 20, Newark’s Prudential Center the next day, and Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall closing it out on the 22nd. Three cities. Three sets. One unforgettable loop. Tickets start at $108 on Vivid Seats — though prices climb to $248 depending on demand. (Yes, we know — tickets are already flying off the virtual shelves.) Vivid Seats guarantees your seat with a 100% buyer protection policy, so you can rest easy knowing your front-row dream won’t vanish into thin air.
For context: Brandy hasn’t toured since 2016’s Slayana World Tour. But she did perform live in Atlanta back in 2020, belting out classics like “The Boy Is Mine” and “Angel in Disguise” — proof she still owns the mic. Monica, meanwhile, has kept her momentum alive, even joining Nicki Minaj on her global Pink Friday 2 World Tour in 2024. So when these two step back into the spotlight, it’s not a comeback — it’s a coronation.
So whether you’re reliving your teenage angst or discovering their legacy for the first time, one thing’s certain: this tour isn’t just music. It’s memory. It’s resilience. It’s two women who once sang about losing a man, now reclaiming the stage — together, unbroken, unforgettable.
And so, the tale concludes, drifting into memory — but not before leaving behind a melody that refuses to fade.
