Actually, the boy is theirs. Nearly 30 years after they topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 13 weeks with their timeless duet “The Boy Is Mine,” Brandy and Monica are teaming up for their first-ever co-headlining tour.
As announced Tuesday (June 24), Brandy and Monica will launch their co-headlining The Boy Is Mine Tour on Oct. 16 at Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati. The 24-city trek will visit arenas in major U.S. cities including Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York before concluding Dec. 7 at the Toyota Center in Houston.

Produced by Black Promoters Collective, The Boy Is Mine Tour will also feature an eye-popping lineup of special guests, including four-time Grammy winner Kelly Rowland, two-time Grammy winner Muni Long, and American Idolseason 23 champ Jamal Roberts. Long dropped her fourth studio album, Revenge, last summer (Aug. 30, 2024), and Roberts recently notched a No. 1 debut on Hot Gospel Songs just weeks before tributing Kirk Franklin at the 2025 BET Awards. Earlier this month, Rowland was announced as The Voice UK‘s newest coach.
“This really is a full-circle moment,” Brandy, who landed at No. 41 on the Billboard staff’s 75 Best R&B Singers of All Time list, said in a press release. “Monica and I coming together again isn’t just about the music — it’s about honoring where we came from and how far we’ve both come. ‘The Boy Is Mine’ was a defining chapter in R&B, and to share the stage all these years later is bigger than a reunion — it’s a celebration of growth, sisterhood, and the love our fans have given us from day one.”
The R&B icons, who reunited on 2012’s “It All Belongs to Me,” announced their new tour with a cinematic short film helmed by filmmaker and production designer Ethan Tobman, who has worked with the likes of Beyoncé, Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift. Set in a maximum sound asylum, the tour trailer finds Brandy and Monica using their powerful and “forbidden” harmonies to break free.
“The love that ‘The Boy Is Mine’ continues to receive means everything to me,” Monica said in a press release. “This tour is a celebration of our history, our impact, and the fans who have grown with us. Brandy and I have been on our own unique journeys, and coming back together in this way is a reminder of the power of respect, strength, and real music. We’re giving the people what they’ve been asking for, and doing it with grace, love, and purpose. God’s timing perfectly aligned us.”
Last year, Brandy and Monica earned their 13th and fifth Grammy nominations, respectively, thanks to their featured turn on Grande’s “The Boy Is Mine” remix. Named after their duet, Grande’s Eternal Sunshine single reached No. 16 on the Hot 100 and soundtracked a Catwoman-inspired music video featuring cameos from all three ladies, as well as You actor Penn Badgley.
