Brandy Doesn’t Need a ‘So Gone’ Challenge to Stay Relevant

Brandy Norwood

Singer Brandy Norwood responded to critics on social media who came for her neck after she responded to a fan inquiring about her "So Gone" challenge.

For those of you who aren't familiar, the "So Gone" challenge is a freestyle rap over singer Monica Brown's 2003 single, "So Gone," about a woman in a dysfunctional relationship.

Brandy dismissed the fan who asked her to contribute her rap to the viral videos.

"Chile, bye!" Brandy responded to the fan -- which prompted Monica to get in her feelings over the assumed diss.

Monica Brown

Brandy is not a rapper. And unlike most artists today, Brandy doesn't need social media memes to stay relevant.

Stars spend most of their time glued to social media collecting followers and 'likes' like trophies.

It's sad that they can't sell more than 20,000 albums when they have millions of followers.

    Brandy is not a rapper
    ______
    So...her lil alter ego B-Rocka never was? She never tried her hand at rapping? Well OKAY. This is news.

  • L.T.L. Since 2007

    This --> Brandy is not a rapper. And unlike most artists today, Brandy doesn’t need social media memes to stay relevant.

    And this --> It’s sad that they can’t sell more than 20,000 albums when they have millions of followers.

    So we "blog mad" at Monica now? What she do? She's no longer a FOB?
    And I still don't know whose house we go to for Christmas, Tip or Tiny?

    THIS JUST IN. DONALD WAS MAD ABOUT THE SETTLEMENT THE CENTRAL PARK 5 GOT. THIS WAS JUST IN 2014.
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    Donald Trump and the Central Park Five

    By
    Amy Davidson

    Donald Trump is angry about the settlement the city reached, this weekend,with the Central Park Five—the men who had, as teen-age boys, been wrongly convicted in the “Central Park jogger” rape case and been called animals by just about every institution in this city. The rape had been committed between 9 or 10 P.M., on an April evening in 1989; someone had beaten the jogger so badly and so brutally that by the time she was found, hours later, stripped and covered with mud, she had lost three quarters of her blood. The police detective on the scene told reporters that her body had already turned cold; she wouldn’t have survived much longer. The woman, as she later let the world
    know in a book, was Trisha Meili, then an investment banker at Salomon Brothers; she had been bashed in the head
    and remembered nothing. The rest of New York, though, was sure of what had happened to her, and who was to blame. Here was the headline in the Daily
    News, on April 21, 1989:

    WOLF PACK’S PREY

    Female jogger near death after savage attack by roving gang
    And the headline from the next day: Park marauders call it
    ‘WILDING’…and it’s street slang for going berserk

    The Times, that same week, reported, “The youths who
    raped and savagely beat a young investment banker as she jogged in Central Park Wednesday night were part of a loosely organized gang of 32 schoolboys whose random, motiveless assaults terrorized at least eight other people over nearly two hours, senior police investigators said yesterday.” And: “she was raped by at least 4 of the 12 boys, Chief Colangelo said.” The five schoolboys who were eventually tried—Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana,
    and Kharey Wise—were all black or Hispanic.

    And, in early May, 1989, Donald Trump took out a full-page ad in
    the Daily News to say what he thought he knew about the case. Trump was on the front page of the papers often enough that season; the Post’s “SPLIT!” headline marking the end of his marriage would help
    fill the tabloid space between the teen-agers’ arrest and their conviction, as did “MARLA BOASTS TO HER PALS ABOUT DONALD: ‘BEST SEX I’VE EVER HAD,’?” which quoted his then-mistress and second wife; soon, there was also coverage of his baroque business failures. Perhaps he thought it gave him gravitas, that spring, to weigh in on the character of the teen-agers in the park: “How can our great society tolerate the continued brutalization of its citizens by crazed misfits? Criminals must be told that their CIVIL LIBERTIES END WHEN AN
    ATTACK ON OUR SAFETY BEGINS!” And his headline suggested what ought to be done with them:

    BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY.

    BRING BACK OUR POLICE!

    The “park marauders,” the “roving gang,” the “crazed misfits”
    were fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen years old. The confessions they gave, as children, had been false, spun out under the pressure of hours of police interrogations. (They were, had anyone been ready to acknowledge it at the time, also inconsistent; they also had parents whom they weren’t able to see before their questioning.) The boys were sent to prison. One of them, Kharey Wise, who at sixteen was the oldest and sentenced as an adult, was still there when, eleven years after the rape in the park, he happened to cross paths with a prisoner named Matias Reyes. It occurred to Reyes that it was his fault that
    Wise was there. He confessed that he, and he alone, had raped and beaten Meili, as he had raped other women over the years. He described to police how he had tied her with her clothes; it had been part of his M.O. in other cases, something that gave credibility to his confession. It moved beyond a doubt when a DNA test matched Reyes to the semen found on Meili’s body. The DNA hadn’t matched any of the teen-agers—one of the many details that got blinked over in the trial. They were exonerated twelve years ago, and the charges were formally
    dropped.

    Since then, talks about some form of restitution for the young men dragged on even as a movie, “The Central Park Five,” gave a wider perspective on the real injustice in the case—the failure of the police, the courts, the press, of the word on the street, of any engine of public doubt. Everything that should have struck one as odd—the cartoonish way that the boys, in their confessions, talked about the rape itself—was taken as proof of the boys’ perversity. Their guilt had been a given; the only question that people seemed interested in, at the time, was what their supposed wildness said about our society, about the boys’ “culture,” or lack of it. A real-estate developer could take out an ad
    that contemplated executing children, and only be considered disreputable because of the decor of his buildings.

    The Daily News reprinted that ad on Saturday, next to Trump’s new op-ed. Perhaps he feels that he got a good deal, having the ad run again for free; there is no contrition in what he has to say now. The settlement, which Mayor Bill de Blasio had said, in his campaign, he wanted to get done, gives each man about a million dollars for each year he spent in jail. (Together, that was forty years.) Trump wrote on Saturday that this was “a disgrace”; he said that he’d talked to a detective
    who called it “the heist of the century.” How much would Donald Trump pay to not spend a single year in jail? He doesn’t mention Reyes; he talks about police “blunders” as if they were all in the teen-agers’ favor—“The recipients must be laughing out loud at the stupidity of the city.” Does he imagine that it must be obvious to them, as it is to him, that the decades of their lives weren’t worth much anyway? He wrote, “These young men do not exactly have the pasts of angels.” At fourteen years old, one doesn’t have much of a past to speak of; what one might have is a future. Or is an angel, for Trump, someone who stays in a hotel with a lot of gold paint on the wall?

    It’s simple, in some ways, to see the Central Park jogger case
    as an artifact of a feverish moment in late-eighties New York—of a piece with its joyous and awful kinetics, the crack epidemic, the painted-over subways, the fear of AIDS, the absurdity of Ivana’s ski-slope confrontation with Marla. But some fevers never seem to
    subside. The tendency to write off teen-age boys because of distrust of their neighborhoods or the color of their skin, to assume that jail is the place for them, has not gone away. Neither, somehow, has Donald Trump.

  • harley_quinn2.0

    Brandy been going off for a minute. She fell out with Keisha Epps too.

  • Incog-knee-gress

    I never forget.

  • https://www.instagram.com/blacklovevideos Black Love

    She actually said more than chile bye. She went on to tell another fan that she would refrain from reading them because she realizes that their fave was having a "moment." The shade was real. Brandy is going through something. She's been waging war against her friends and everyone else on social media for several months now.

  • yes yes, ya’ll!

    So French and Iggy may be a thing now? French got a few verses I like here and there on other songs but does he sell his own records? I don't understand these stunts.

  • OrchidJones-VidaLocaVirgo

    Monica has always been extra about how life is so grand for her, and I am happy things aren't phasing her-until her face cracks over her husband, but I'd be even happier for her if she stayed away from Social Media for about a week...Her and Tiny.

    Now Brandy...whole 'nother story. Brandy chooses to stay off social media, yet she is on Love and Hip Hop. She need to "chile-bye." Couldn't be a more relevant franchise....Nooooooooooo, had to be Hollywood, the lowest franchise on the pole. Have seats with your Extra EXTRA azz.

  • Incog-knee-gress

    http://www.mtv.com/news/1627932/brandy-thanks-timbaland-for-endorsing-her-new-rap-career/
    "What I'm doing on the album is a little bit different than what everybody knows me for," she said. "I'm rapping on the album. Timbaland endorsed that. He changed my name to Bran' Nu. He really gave me a shot to be different and be versatile. I can't thank him enough for that. This is a wonderful opportunity. I'm blessed to be here."

    Brandy doesn't need a ghostwriter either — she authored her own bars for the songs "Meet in the Middle" and "The Symphony."

    "I had a blast," she said. "I wrote my own verses. Anything I did, I wrote myself. It was a great experience. I got a chance to be another part of myself. He even allowed me to mix in the singing with the rapping. It feels good. It feels like this is what I'm supposed to do. This is a reinvention for me. I'm excited about it."

    Neither is Toya or Monyetta and countless others. It was all in fun. There's no excuse for her to get in her feelings the way she did.

  • O.O

    I think she falls through a couple of scenes

  • OrchidJones-VidaLocaVirgo

    The latter. but seeing her on there just annoys me.

  • nucynu25

    I think if she just would've said "chile bye" it would've been a completely diff reaction but she went overboard with the extraness..

  • http://totallifechanges.com/PurTEA VanillaCaramel2shotsExpresso

    Sandra you are on point here. I'm not adding or taking away a thing. Brandy doesn't have to feel forced into the challenge and Monica didn't need to respond. In fact a non response would have been better.

  • Genia

    smh. FEMALES and their jump ship for Dyck philosophy always perplexes me..

  • Let Your Soul Glow

    Did we figure out why they fell out?

  • MyNameIs

    I think they fell out because Mo was a friend of one of Futures baby mamas and neglected to tell Cici they were still humping...some friend.

  • nucynu25

    I would say worst pt of it all but she up graded.. & I don't remember the exact details, but if you my friend and you know my man aint doing right bish tell me..

  • Genia

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....are you serious?

  • KLow

    Ima keep it 100, Brandy and Monica are IRRELEVANT

  • RespectSelf

    But that's what I am talking about... who cares what people feel others should do in simple cases like this... who cares if she was in her feelings... shoot she may have been in feelings about another/other comment(s) that she "just scrolled past"

  • Incog-knee-gress

    From what I gather...and I am not sure. This was LSA theory...Rumor was Ciara felt her and Mo went way back like 1987 Peabo hairline. And Mo supposedly knew of Future shenanigans with other women/his other bm... and stayed hush about it to Ciara. Bc Future and Rocko and I guess by association Mo ALSO go back. So Mo chose up. And CiCi wont chose.

  • Genia

    well damn. I am late on that tea...i am strangely sadden by it

  • Incog-knee-gress

    Rocko was involved too I read. See below. But now him and FUTURE done fell out AS WELL. Hot mess.

  • Blaque Mahogany

    She was beefing with Ciara?

  • MISSMEWITDATBULL

    I'm confused. Mo ain't got FOB status??? Since when?
    Brandy's rotten ass has never been authentic IMO... Always been a lost soul seeking validation elsewhere... Real ironic to see her use that term sarcastically. When your own parents advise you to push a lie as your "life" for the sake of your career and their livelihood, that's got to fugg you up inside.

  • Mimi Pardue

    She wasn't shady at all. She's muh-phuckin tired of Monica's followers starting shyt with her. So should Nikki Minaj get on Lil Kim chanllenge (if there was one) hell nah! Monica and Brandy aren't friends, probably despise each other greatly. Don't ask me NATHAN 'bout bish Ion like!

  • MyNameIs

    I remember this. They were subbing each other on IG and then it became direct shots. Brandy even said something about how she shined solo and didn't have to share the stage with other girls. I cackled a little at that but yeah...she going through something.

  • Wuts got Petty Davis Eyes..

    Before I be fake mad at Brandy let me see one thing first...

  • nucynu25

    I nvr knew they didn't really like each other. I recall seeing an interview where Mo talked abt how their duet came together & she said there nvr really was a beef .

  • Phillybruh

    Well to be fair to both ladies, neither actually responded Brandy's Chile Bye was to a different post and Monica's post wasn't towards brandy either but we take it and run with it.

  • https://www.etsy.com/shop/AMarieNaturals Lovezoe

    Why is Monica getting any flak? Brandy the one who started this. The other day someone asked was she gone do it. She said girl bye. THEN she makes this post today. Why. How that got to do with Monica being messy. Plus, I think it was Chance who first started the challenge.

  • http://www.sandrarose.com Django the God

    Also it would be nice if BOTH of them would put jut an album we all could relate to and would like. I haven't downloaded anything new from either one of them . I do think I will see if iTunes has So Gone though....

  • harley_quinn2.0

    It didn't feel like a Brandy album to me. Brandy puts in work on her albums but I wasn't feeling it.

  • Phillybruh

    There should be beef there was a whole tour complete with dates for support both there albums and the single It all belongs too me, but Brandy let her manager/boyfriend tell her she can headline her own show

  • nucynu25

    Exactly, keep it cute & moving.

  • JJ

    I think they fell out over some future related but not the baby mama that Mo is friends with. That one is the nurse and I think low-key she's the only one Ciara is cool with Cc mentioned on radio she got along with the oldest son mother who I'm certain is the one that's a nurse. I think Monica knew future was fawking one of the other ones and rumor has it mutual friend (speculated to be Letoya Luckett)told Ciara everything including that Monica knew.

    Yeah I think that Monica knew that he was cheating on Cici and didn't say anything to her about it. She reached out to Cici publicly. I think Cici was on Andy Cohen and was asked something about it and she curved the question.

    I'll put on some Sade though.

    Crazy when you are now referred to as Ray J sister.

  • nucynu25

    LOL

  • MyNameIs

    She didn't just comment though. She went all out to get a response. This is just another example of how celebs will scroll past every positive comment just to reply to one that they're bothered by. It just doesn't make sense to me but agree to disagree.

  • JJ

    They were but I don't know about now. Monica probably got too comfortable was gossiping about CC drama and Letoya was probably closer to Ciara the entire time so she let Ciara know Future was cheating and Monica knew and was telling people.

  • nucynu25

    We talking bout Kimmy Blanco , its not like she couldn't ...

  • IAmLegend

    Well if you're a "fan" you should understand that Brandy is finally standing up for herself and being honest about how she feels. Other celebrities have been doing it for years. Why are you holding it against Brandy?

    I'm happy for her. There's nothing like freeing yourself from the bondage of other people's opinions of you.

  • nucynu25

    I like Ray J & I luv his pettiness.

  • OrchidJones-VidaLocaVirgo

    He Extra like Brandy. I don't hate him, but I am annoyed.

  • Karma WhO

    Brandy is my GIRL!!!! hands down....i love her and Mo, definitely defined my teenage years..much love to them both!

  • nucynu25

    He cracks me up . He act just like a lil brother..I hve 3 so I get him.

  • OrchidJones-VidaLocaVirgo

    Monica needs thicker skin. If your life is grand, the few that bother you should go right past you, but you address them and give them fuel. There are a lot of people that can't stand Monica surprisingly, as I am sure Tiny and other social media addicts. Monica has a cute family, but she bleed like the rest of the ho's so to speak.

  • nucynu25

    lmao..stooped. You said you are unable to fuks with it huh?

  • JJ

    Monica claimed thats not what happened and that her and Ciara are cool again but I don't know if I believe her. Ciara has yet to say a peep and I doubt if Russell has even met Monica. Monica was dodgy about reason her and Ciara fell out just it's kinda stuff that happens when you've been friends long time. I gotta dig for interview she did

  • OrchidJones-VidaLocaVirgo

    yeah, my sons are 24 1/2. that goofy stuff from them annoys me.

  • MyNameIs

    Lol! I lurked for years. I don't remember his name but at that time I thought he was just hating but I think there's some truth to it now.

  • Sucker Free

    She loves him in spite of his lameness ?

  • https://www.etsy.com/shop/AMarieNaturals Lovezoe

    Man. I miss him.

  • Ms. EJ

    I'm never in agreement with others dictating and/or trying to tell another human being how to feel. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, therefore Monica could have also not responded either since its adding to the issue. It is very annoying and offensive when people know that two people don't care for each other, but constantly keep bringing the enemy up. Brandy made it clear they're on different paths and don't talk to each other. She's just fed up.

  • Taylordanes

    Monica aint even addressing Brandy...this some bull and made up drama

  • Ms. EJ

    Right!

  • Phillybruh

    Who said this was even addressed to Brandy. Sometimes thin skin is required. You gotta check the mFers every now and again.

  • Alicia.Ashe

    I don't think these two post was in response to the so gone challenge. So blah.

  • Taylordanes

    BUT DID ANYONE ASK MONICA WHO HER POST WAS FOR? EVERYONE JUST ASSUMING......

    That's where you're wrong. But carry on.

    Is that Lil Kim's real name? If so she's the one! And if so, she apparently can't her $3M is up for foreclosure again.

  • MyNameIs

    I was just about to say this! Sandra just picked any post that could be shady from Mo's IG. Lol. I do, however, think Mo did lowkey reply with a post that said..you can't choose your battles but you can choose the ones you fight.

  • MyNameIs

    Welp! Lol!

  • TDK

    Brandy is batshit curazzzzy!! Been side eyeing her for months. She's ran all of her friends off.

  • jeniefrumdabloc™

    I agree with both..... I'm not here for trends either hell ... Shrugs

  • Ms. EJ

    I use to love Monica, but after the Ludacris situation, her beat a chick down when it comes to her cheating husband and how she treated Ciara I just no longer view her the same nor respect her as a woman. I'm not a fan of Brandy either, but I think I could tolerate her more than Monica's hood mentality. Of course, neither couldn't care less, but just my opinion.

  • jeniefrumdabloc™

    I ran friends off (fake friends) that doesn't make a person crazy ... It actually makes them sain.... ?

  • TDK

    Brandy has way more issues with females than Monica.

  • Ms. EJ

    Nope, because her so called best friend went on instagram with her enemy and clowned her. She had every right to have cut them off.

  • Ms. EJ

    Exactly!

  • TDK

    Brand is crazy, where all her friends? She ran them all of with her shenanigans.

  • Mo’nie

    I do not get why Brandy is acting out. I really love her and Mo'. Both are great artists in my opinion. If Mo' felt like doing a remix on her own song and it took off 400% increase in sales then Brandy just be happy for her. Even though you are a great artist you still have to do things to market yourself and gain new sales, followers etc. If Mo' chose that way then fine. I do not want to see more foolishness from you Bran, I want to stay in love with your songs but you acting out is a strong no from me

  • jeniefrumdabloc™

    Chile bye I have no problem cutting ties with these so called friends ... Fawk around and block a blessing with these friends shid? ask me how I know ?

  • JJ

    There are two https://youtu.be/S8VPyXCa1ik and https://youtu.be/yM38Xu9_9VE

    1st one it's about 4and half mins in second one around 14:36 according to comments. 2nd one is where she said BM one and her are friends and Ciara gets along with her and she denied rumors she knew he was cheating

  • nucynu25

    Well, damn I didn't know that. Wtf Kim doing? She should be goodt ...

  • Ms. EJ

    I couldn't agree more. It's like some people are only looking at it from one side or acted as if they never dealt with a fake friend or a person they didn't like.

  • TDK

    They weren't clowning her they were actually at a comedy show, not at her concert. Brandy is just losing it.

  • OrchidJones-VidaLocaVirgo

    I know Rihanna checks all the people who have something to say. But it is funny and sarcastic, not feelings. Monica is in feelings when she checking folks. I don't know if what Monica says is for Brandy or not. It could be posted on GP. It's all about the timing.

  • TDK

    But if you ran off all of your friends?? if you're having issues with everyone, most likely the problem is you.

  • Antigone Heart

    Teena Marie's Portuguese Love is the song that goes for me..."say you love me baby." ?

  • Phillybruh

    Seriously though do you need one of your friends to tell you that a man with 8 kids is cheating..I mean the writings on the wall.

  • TDK

    Exactly it's been going on for awhile.

  • MyNameIs

    She's making herself look bitter by taking this route though. I'm all for standing up for herself but...what did Monica do to her currently?? If I was her I'd be shading my record label because as a fan.....I'm still waiting on new music. Everything else is irrelevant......just something to discuss for the moment.

  • Antigone Heart

    I actually choreographed a dance routine to Brandy's song Best Friend with my eldest sister. The beat on that song is really good.

  • Ms. EJ

    Kesha posted several posts towards that comedy show and it was clear it was towards Brandy. A person expressing dislike or frustration doesn't make them crazy.

  • Peter Piper ATL

    Sandra you peed. I've been saying this for years, Monica is an absolute mess LOL. I had hoped that marriage and a (finally) stable relationship would inspire her to stop being so anxious to get into drama and mess, but that's just how Monica is.

    I've been trolling this blog for years. You never know who is reading or posting comments. And as a longtime insider in Atlanta, I can't count the number of times Monica's name has been in the mix with a bunch of crap and rumors and just really childish two-faced foolishness.

    I stopped fooling with Monica YEARS AGO--and she didn't even notice. That's because she's always losing friends lol. I mean, Monica falls out with everybody. Her family (including her brother), longtime friends, everybody. She is moody, petty and very two faced.

    She is good at pretending to be wholesome and all that but in reality, Monica is one of those people who is really cool until you start telling her your business and it then quickly ends up in the streets.

    Sandra Rose knows everything I put up here about these celebs is 100% gospel truth, including this evaluation of Monica.

    I hate to name drop so I won't. BUT, I will say that some years ago, there used to be a very popular industry event that occurred every weekend and Monica was a regular. She started up so much mess between different celebrities that the owner of the establishment--a close friend of mine who Monica also lied on--shut the event down because things had almost got violent on more than a few occasions.

  • askquestions

    Is this blog off the Mo train ?

    I like Monica. Shes a semi-ghetto class act. A classic oxymoron!

  • jeniefrumdabloc™

    Um I guess .... My fake friends was replaced with a king (rich man) a beautiful new beginning and my credit score jumped to 755 ... Shid .... So yeah... I guess I was the problem right.... Take care Chile ? .... We TV go of folks that do not belong in your life... Doors open ?

  • Phillybruh

    She's what Tamar tries to be...lol

  • Cutdashit

    Brandy's right though,she doesn't need a challenge to stay relevant. Brandy just had a global hit with 99 Souls and Destiny's Child called, the girl is mine. Its a mash up of girl and the boy is mine. Monica was supposed to be on it and declined. I think Bran took the decline personal. Monica made a mistake though, that single got Brandy the first real hit she's had in years,gave her several gold certifications in several countries and enabled her to do sold out shows in the UK. This 20 yr beef of theirs is stale, be friends or don't.

  • Phillybruh

    We don't know these celebrities really are, I don't act the same way at work that I do in these streets with my people.

  • askquestions

    Monica seems to do well with or without mega hit albums.

  • PhillyFacts

    Yassss please let me know, got a sister looking crazy in these screetz

  • Peter Piper ATL

    Yeah but you don't have people writing up feel-good nonsensical stories about how wonderful you are, how many turkeys you gave away, and how your kids are little angels. Usually I just read and laugh. Sometimes, I feel the need to add clarity.

    And if I decide to write a book, it'll knock your socks off. I go WAY back in this town.

  • https://www.instagram.com/blacklovevideos Black Love

    They said fan, not stan. None of her recent shade attacks have been provoked so how is she standing up for herself? Brandy falls out with EVERYONE. Always has.

  • Taylordanes

    But Brandy is right....challenges...fake rappers....ig models...this new generation and their "relevancy" is a bunch of bull..no talented mufukas

  • Cutdashit

    Depends on what you define as well. Does she still have a fanbase? Yes! Could she go gold or platinum even in the streaming era? Doubtful! Can she sell out shows in her own hometown? Sometimes! I respect both, black women in the industry for so long, but both of their commercial primes seem behind them.

  • Phillybruh

    It wouldn't knock my socks off. People do what they going do. I never got any indication that Monica was some holy roller.

  • Phillybruh

    She sold out a show here in Philly a few months back. Her touring act has just begun. Saw her at the Dell here, Loved it. when she comes back will go again

  • https://www.instagram.com/blacklovevideos Black Love

    Calling herself the vocal Bible. Chile bye.

  • Brownie

    That's her rapping, huh.

  • Cutdashit

    That's awesome, how big was the venue though?

  • Phillybruh

    sat maybe 5 thousand folks. 80.00 bucks a ticket. Outside venue I saw her at was smaller/

  • Diva_woman

    What was the ludacris situation? & I definitely thought she was petty for how she did Ciara. She was singing about her man cheating and heartbreak for years but rather take the side of a man who acting just like hers and disrespecting his woman who was supposed to be a friend.

  • Cutdashit

    ??? Gone head Monica! I wish they would do a tour together though, and add in mya as the opening act.

  • ShadesofEMPRESS

    I know right.

  • Phillybruh

    I would prefer a Fantasia, Monica and Kelly Rowland tour that would be just a night.

  • TDK

    Great for you, but I still maintain she's crazy.

  • Pam

    I liked 3 cuts off Brandy's last album, but unfortunately it didn't do that well. So she really does need social media right now because it's a social media world... Her being ugly about the question asked showed pure jealousy in my opinion...

  • SG

    Hmmmm... and she is supposed to be heavily in the church now. She was on Preacher's of LA.

  • Cutdashit

    Honestly it should be chicks from the 90's, I dont know what happens with Kelly live, but its hit and miss.
    Monica,Brandy,SWV,Kelly Price & Faith Evans would do it for me. I'll get into fantasia when she realizes gospel is her true calling.

  • Sexy CJ

    Yes......It Is So.....Sexy....Sensual.....&..Powerful.....

  • TDK

    I follow them both and have never seen Kesha shade Brandy. All of Brandy's celeb friends no longer deal with her including her friend Shay. All of them can't be toxic or shady. So yes I call her crazy. Her snap chat posts were off as well. She is the common denominator.

  • Phillybruh

    But Brandy's ego won't let her tour with other women.

  • Vonn

    They don't see the big picture. They see the wallet sized pics that Chump is spoon feeding them.

  • IAmLegend

    Brandy's ex best friend (Shay) decided to stay friends with Brandy's ex-fiance without telling her and had a baby with his best friend, while using her for money. I would have cut her off too.

  • KenHay

    Actually, Brandy was rapping, like around 2009 or 2010, her rapping name was Brand Nu.

  • harley_quinn2.0

    Who? Brandy?

  • Peter Piper ATL

    Brandy doesn't need to get carried away now. She's no Beyonce. After 20 years in the game, Beyonce can sell out any venue at any place on the planet. Not an easy task. But kudos to Brandy for honing her acting skills, and making money off it when the music thing had clearly abandoned her.

    But Monica's career reminds me of Gladys Knight's. Neither Gladys nor Monica could realistically segue from R&B/Soul to the more lucrative Pop or even Dance field, which is why Gladys is still mad at Diana Ross: Diana parlayed her brand into something that evolved from Classic Soul to Disco to Dance to Pop to even, in 1996, a little Hip Hop. Meanwhile, Gladys Knight was boxed in, always ready to release something that sounded like a Negro spiritual, and thus limited herself commercially. Fans got bored.

    Same thing with Monica. Monica stayed true to herself and laid her cards on the table: what you saw was what you got. She didn't have Beyonce's moves, or looks; she wasn't gonna cozy up to gays en masse like Gaga; she wasn't gonna try to invoke sexiness like Rihanna. She was simply Monica. And fans got bored.

    But Monica has sport of set herself up. Her commercial base is almost exclusively limited to black women and gay black men. But she doesn't seem capable of even capitalizing on that.

    Monica's music career is essentially over, aside from features and a few singles. She will never go platinum or gold again--EVER. Her sound hasn't evolved. You can't tell a Monica song from 2016 from one from 1996. Not a good thing when you're trying to stay in the game.

    Shannon came along in the nick of time. How convenient.

  • Phillybruh

    Did she pee in your cereal..Monica is good for a hit or two a year. And she actually looks just as good if not better than the other girls you mentioned. The other girls you mentioned also have a shelf life which is rapidly approaching its end.

  • bella28498 .

    Ummmm I don't see what the big deal, if someone would've asked me to do that weak challenge I would've said the exact same thing.

  • jeniefrumdabloc™

    Yeah we all can be a little throwed sometimes ... Life can do that?

  • TDK

    Yes we can. ?

  • Readytochokemothernatureonout

    I love both of them. Emm bought the 2 of the last 3 discs from one of that I don't play cause I didn't like them...

  • B.Sweet is Savage

    Did Monica lose friend of the blog status? How did I miss this post?

  • Peter Piper ATL

    Put your pom poms way for a minute. Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Rihanna have established themselves as not just musical but Pop icons. Note the difference. An icon doesn't have to release an album for 5 or more years and can come back and dominate the charts. Others can't.

    Whether you're a fan of the other women or not makes no difference--there are millions of others who are, and those women are bankable products because of it.

    Clearly, you don't seem to understand music marketing or the way entertainment works as a business. I'll give you lessons on another day. Right now, the conversation is about Monica and I thought I'd illustrate how she got to where she is today in relation to artists with similar followings who are essentially her peers.

  • Phillybruh

    Neither of them wait 5 years to release anything, Theyr fan base doesn't have the attention span to wait that long. I don't need lessons on anything, you seem petty and you sound like Mo did something to you personally.

  • TDK

    This ??????

  • Peter Piper ATL

    ...And I'd hardly say Beyonce or Rihanna or Lady Gaga's shelf life is "rapidly approaching its end". LOL. Are we even having the same conversation?

    All 3 of them will be in the game as long as they choose to be, and I can say that as someone who has never purchased an album of any of theirs. However, I understand the music business. People said Beyonce couldn't survive coming back after a hiatus--back in 2006. They said the same thing in 2010.

    Gaga is the star of one of the most popular TV series airing today, "American Horror Story".

    And hardly a day goes by that Rihanna is not on the front page of most blogs.

    Those are hardly examples of a rapidly declining shelf life.

  • Peter Piper ATL

    And you sound ridiculous. I'm gonna move on from this because evidently, truth is something you have trouble in dealing with.

    But I will say you're wrong. I didn't say any of those ladies hadn't released an album in 5 years. Beyonce came close--she didn't release an album for 4 years. And still came back on top.

    Monica took 4 years off, released an album an hardly anyone but Sandra Rose noticed.

    Even Ray Charles could see the difference.

    You're just an overzealous, biased and uninformed Monica fan and I don't think i'll waste any more time with you. Bye girl.

  • LibraGirlonly

    Lol exactly. Lying about being married. She can have a seat.

  • Lisa daniels

    Exactly, mo started this ish back in the 90s with the boy is mine and mo admitted to getting into a physical altercation with brandy back then. So if brandy finally decided to pay mo dust then so be it. The fan should never had asked. Thats like asking mariah to sing a jlo song or Michael to sing a prince song.

  • Shira Harding-James

    She sure doesn't need to do it!

  • Ceezus

    Exactly!! By just saying Chile Bye it's directed to that comment/fan but by dissing challenges directs it to Monica - btw the challenge is hot!!

  • Shira Harding-James

    I don't think she was trying to be salty but it definitely did come off that way....doesn't sound humble at all whatsoever. She shouldn't of responded period!

  • gellie

    Nobody's telling her how to react. But when you react with OBVIOUS shade, you expect people to just walk on by?? Come on now!

  • Torae

    Monica music bores me...im still playing Brandy's Never say never album. Brandy does not need to hop on a challenge just because everyone else is doing it.. I think Brandy is at a point in life where she just dgaf and will say what she has to say. People like Monica are sneaky and always trying to play nice to the public and are friends with EVERYONE...those are the types to watch out for because its usually an act. Meanwhile she has a passive agressive response to Brandy ? So gone song sucks as well...brandy and monica did another song a few years ago and that sucked too...Both of them may need a 90's r&b tour because no one is going to buy their "new" music...might as well pretend to like each other and make some money touring with their 90's songs...

  • Taylordanes

    please let that word "shade" die fast....I cant because now any time someone responds it's shade..how about the damn truth......Brandy is YOUR FAVES FAVE.... she HAS done challenges and was tired of folks asking her...no shade..just truth. all these challenges...ig models..extreme hair, body parts, and makeup.....just a bunch of publicity for a bunch of non talented mufuckas

  • gellie

    Girl, you need to calm down. It ain't that serious. Who's my fave's fave bih whet?? What are you talking about??!!! LOL And Fave and Fave's Fave is just as tired as Shade. Take a damn breath, girl!

  • Tea??

    That's the thing though she DOES need a challenge and if someone started a "I wanna be down" challenge she would be here for it. Brandy hasn't had a hit since she killed that lady and lied about being married. She's only being written about here because she clapped back on social media so what u mean she doesn't need social media or memes to stay relevant?

  • Kirenee

    Yea, but Brandy always has the need to post mini concerts in her bathroom for us to see.... Seems like that's trying to stay relevant to me......

  • whitty hutton

    I don't care for her...never have. She has a beautiful voice but a stank 'tude, which is why her career stalled. She doesn't take direction well and cops an attitude easily; and was too concerned with being "famous" in Atlanta instead of becoming world famous for her singing talents.

  • Taylordanes

    Calm down? Take a breath? Sweety I'm sitting here calm & chill as FCK....You said all of that and nothing at the same time....me take a breath...naw how about have a seat ...

  • Taylordanes

    she did challenges and her comments were flooding with people asking her not just one person so she responded...

  • gellie

    Girl Breathe. You about to stroke out over this girl. Again, not that serious.

  • SwisherSweetT

    Yo, brandy is sounding real bitter right now lol she wasn't talking about challenges are overrated when everyone was singing "I don't want nobody fûcking with me in these streets" which was only something because of Jennifer Lewis lol let Monica have her shine this challenge will die out soon.

  • Naila Thrower

    Dang ok for ONCE i actually see a lil shade from my girl B Rocka lol...but whyyyyyyy? I love both of these ladies. Both remind me of a time when music was still important and authentic. Both can still sanggg and i almost lost my mind when Brandy, Yoyo, Queen Latifah and Mc Lyte came together last year or 2014 for the bet awards.? anyways i don't get it, either give it to us straight no chaser about what REALLY happened way back in the 90's or bury it already smh..

  • Unita Lucinda “Lucy” Freebush

    You had no facts. None. Zero. Still trying to decipher that mess of a post. Fave's fave...whet?? Who's my fave that Brandy is her fave?? I happen to like Brandy...a lot. Have for 20+ years. But I'm not flailing out in the kiddie pool like you. I can call a thing a thing. And it's okay. She's human. People are salty sometimes.

  • SG

    Shay.

  • Allihave2say

    That's what I'm saying. Kim has been in the game too long to not have her home paid off. The rest of her money should be for play and jumping off yachts. She was in foreclosure in 2009 and they agreed on a payment arrangement of $9k/month starting 2010. She hasn't posted the payments. What she should have done for the past 6 years was buy a place cash. But nope!

    And the reason why Monica put them paws on her because TRAndy was acting as if she was the bigger star (she was) and saying oh my god she's so ghetto and pointing in Monica face saying I'm the star etc.. Monica didn't give no fawks and laid them Georgia peach hands on too far apart eyes trandy

  • Pebbles

    That happened when she was how old ? ( over 15 years ago)

  • TDK

    They did an interview when they released their last song with Angie Martinez. Monica disclosed that back in the 90's that she later them paws on Brandy after an award show. Brandy didn't appreciate this coming out so it's been shade every since.

  • TDK

    ???

  • JustB

    She dont like Monica and never has so why would she jump on a challenge, she made songs with her for the money, the challenge does nothing for her. And besides when the song was made they wouldnt utter eachothers name...if Brandy jumped on now...Monica wouldnt like it and shouldnt pretend like she would...I like em both and respect Brandy for keeping it funky

  • dee

    Brandy is wrong for this and I have been going hard for her, but this was just tacky and showed how nasty she really is. I now know why her albums flop. Your attitude determines your altitude and Brandy baby you are way down and low down. Monica was classy and polite about it and spoke truth. Monica behaves like a woman with children while Brandy acts like a 13 year old immature middle school brat with a piss poor attitude. I regret going in on people about Brandy. I don't care how good she sounds. If this is the attitude she has then stay a flop. Can't be blessed being evil towards others.

  • None ya

    She has no reason to be salty, Brandy is the vocal bible (and don't you forget it!) and as much as I love Monica, none of her work will ever hold a candle to Brandy's artistry. What I find funny is how people are mad at Brandy for saying #ChileBye to the #SoGoneChallenge but Beyonce can drop a record saying #BowDownB!+chies and it's perfectly acceptable and welcomed... ? All I'm saying is Brandy has always played nice, it's time she starts standing up for her self and telling it like it is... Everyone else does..

  • God is working on me!

    It seems like they're both doing great in their own lane. Also their tweets might be to the haters who want to start beef between them and not to each other. The media is always trying to build and start some rivalry. That's just my opinion.

  • Shanayeblanco38

    This blog is so Fake one minute they praising monica. The next they throwing shade. The gag is Monica didn't start the challenge she just joined in on it. Brandy is a bitter lonely miserable person

  • Shanayeblanco38

    So Brandy hot out here on these streets?

  • Shanayeblanco38

    Which sounds very bitter and jealous

  • Shanayeblanco38

    Monica is still with her same label she's been with since she came out. She's not in the news for going bankrupt and losing everything. She seems to be doing very well and living off her old ? that anything she do now is extra

  • Shanayeblanco38

    Why does that matter to be able to sell out anything twenty plus years later is a blessing. She sold out here in Baltimore also and it was a very nice size venue. No it wasn't a arena but that's neither here nor there

  • Shanayeblanco38

    Why do Monica a family woman with kids needs to involve herself in Ciara in Future mess? She did just what she should've minded her business

  • Doink_Ahanahue

    This is very true... as long as you stay balanced in your approach. Too much and you ostracize people. You have to be careful to stay within the realm of loving yourself, realizing your own validation, but not being overly aggressive about it

  • Nophace

    This is the same bitch that lied about being married to a music producer to stay relevant! So just because you chose a different route to take to increase TV time when you were on the verge of being irrelevant doesn't make you no better than anyone else!! GTFOH!!!

  • Amel

    Brandy is still relevant? News to me..

  • Phillybruh

    Really, Beyoncé will be able to tour for as long as she likes, same with Rihanna. But Lemonade was a stunt and it still hasn't sold Adele numbers hell based on the fact that she performed the whole album on Sunday its probably not even close to doing the standard 3 mill Beyoncé numbers. Gaga is not the star of American horror story Sarah Paulson is and has been since its premiere, don't be fooled into thinking anything other than that, No one is watching that because of Gaga trust me. All artist have a shelf life, female artist usually hit there's about 35-40, I would say Beyoncé musically has hit hers as she hasn't had a single top the charts since Single Ladies, which is why you get visual albums now from her all at one time.

  • Phillybruh

    Which Brandy has always played nice, the one that was Jealous of the success of the Parkers and never wanted countess back on the show after or the one that sent the step mom off to Jamaica so she could make room for Ray-J.

  • sunni_daze

    Brandy is jealous, didn't her own lable recently call her a has-been? Didn't this challenge increase Monica sales on a 20 year old song and put her on itunes.....yeah she bitter and angry, because all she has now is being a friend of the cast on LHH-LA

  • Cutdashit

    Monica isnt on the first label she signed with. ? Rowdy isnt RCA.

  • Shanayeblanco38

    Same people different name ? and even if it's two can we say the same for Miss liar I'm married then it was a spiritual connection Brandy?

  • ?Patty Kakes?

    Not really. She don't have to prove to anyone what she can do. If you really need to know go buy an album. She has large selection to choose from.

  • Shanayeblanco38

    You right she don't but the chick so insecure and miserable she has to keep running down her resume to people that should be non factors

  • ?Patty Kakes?

    We'll I can't argue with that. That's something I see her do on social media often

  • Valencia Annette

    It doesn't matter. Your word is your bond. A liar is a liar. Period!

  • None ya

    If you were not present or part of it, it's all just hear say! So you give me facts from being present or other wise your talking to a wall. People will always manipulate situations and come up with their own theories but regardless of how people see it, the fact remains that the industry is a business. So while everyone is here throwing shade at Brandy, her and Monica are probably laughing it up and toasting to keeping them selves current in an era of insta and twitter thugs! Publicity, good or bad, it will make someone current!

  • Pebbles

    She was a kid who received bad advice ..... ( shrugs shoulders!)

  • Phillybruh

    Sheryl Lee Ralph has said that on several occasions ...lol

  • None ya

    So that makes it the truth? Lol... where is she now days? ?? Exactly!!

  • Valencia Annette

    You love her don't you? LMAO!!

  • Guess Who

    BOTH are irrelevant; Monica just has ATL wholeheartedly giving her local life....

  • 19awesomegrl97

    chile bye 2 many other issues in this world

  • Pebbles

    Nope! Not a fan at i enjoyed her music back then.

  • PrettyMe

    They both can't sell out a shoebox these days. Their basically on the same level. One called off her engagement and is bitter and the other has a husband that keeps cheating on her and is bitter. Neither can make a hit record these days to save their lives. Chile bye to both of them.

  • PrettyMe

    Nor is singing.

  • PrettyMe

    There were no facts here.

  • Taylordanes

    Girl bye.. You obviously don't have a clue

  • Shanayeblanco38

    Proof Monica husband keep cheating?

  • Shanayeblanco38

    Young people today is disrespectful They both was very successful as kids that they don't have to sell another record in they life if they don't want too . Secondly unless you Beyonce or Rhianna no R N B artist is selling much these day but this post wasn't about any of that

  • Jayde da Blade

    Brandy face is flawless.
    such a cute tee
    ?black dont crack

  • bemetoo

    Please don't let it be a seat in a Range Rover because we all know how that will end????

  • Capricorn Girl

    I don't think it was a self imposed title though, i've heard artists like Dawn (Danity Kane/Dirty Money) and India Arie refer to her as that and Chris Brown is a huge fan of her voice. He was going on about it when they worked on her track a while back. Apparently, she is a reference for many artists when it comes to runs/ad libs, hence the name.

  • Cutdashit

    RCA has been around since the beginning of the music industry.
    Rowdy is Dallas Austin's label. They arent the same thing at all.
    I don't care if Brandy's a liar, not my concern. Liar or not she's had the better career. Monica lied about her album sells and was even called for. You gone call her a liar too?

  • Shanayeblanco38

    Do ya research according to Billboard Monica has more number one's and charted higher so to the public Brandy was bigger because she did TV however on paper and the truth is MONICA luv so get that right but these days Brandy has NO LABEL and was called out as a LIAR by label

  • Cutdashit

    Number ones dont equate better sells overall. Never Say Never has outsold every album monica has released combined. Only Monica stans have a hard time dealing with the fact that Brandy has always been a bigger star than Monica. Brandy does have alot of mess with her though. I think youre misunderstanding me, I AM not a Brandy stan, but this has always been common knowledge. Brandy has always been bigger than Monica, even with Monica having 1 more #1 single than she does.

  • Shanayeblanco38

    Monica Never started this challenge so whatever at the end of the the day Brandy is coming off bitter and jealous

  • BLACK LOVE

    Sad that a person can't say anything against what's popular without its being hate smh...I get what she is saying..these sad people live with their face in their little phones posting and having a outlet for the socially weak person...

  • UCan’t FoolMe
  • Luci Lu

    Brandy is a talented, gifted singer and actor......Period!. And, if she wants to respond to somebody (anybody), who gets on her nerves, she is free to express her true feelings, just like the rest of us.

  • Brandon Tyler

    Lies. She can sing her behind off.

  • Brandon Tyler

    I'm sure she was simply annoyed because challenges are truthfully annoying and if you don't do it, people look at you like you're stupid. That plus it was a challenge involving Monica, so of course people will try to make it seem like it was shade.

  • Xzamilloh

    Afrodisiac was such a great and underrated album that was ahead of its time. Other than that, I'm not here for Brandy's nonsense.

  • Barbara Codner

    I like Brandy's music & I remember when she was trying to stay relevant. She went to NYC and sang on the train. No one recognized her or cared. She's just jealous because Monica was able to do something that she desperately wanted to do but couldn't. SMDH!
