“Give me one second y’all, I gotta get my …” she told the crowd before walking backstage.
But Brandy never returned and after several minutes of confusion, Monica carried on alone and wrapped the night without performing their 1998 duet, “The Boy Is Mine.”
Fans flooded social media with clips and questions, wondering why the show ended early. Saturday’s hiccup comes just months after the pair announced their reunion tour marking more than two decades since their hit single made music history and years after their highly publicized feud.
No official word yet from either artist on what caused Brandy’s early exit. We’ve reached out to reps for Brandy and Monica … so far, no word back.
