‘Beef’ & the great shoes vs pants debate?- Inside Brandy & Monica’s Verzuz showdown
‘Beef’ & the great shoes vs pants debate?- Inside Brandy & Monica’s Verzuz showdown
They were the 90s for so many of us, giving us the soundtrack to our childhood, but US stars Brandy and Monica took it way back on Tuesday when they squared off in a huge music showdown that had the internet crumbling.
The pair squared off in a highly-anticipated Verzuz battle, busting their pipes to some of their biggest hits.
The pair have been celebrated for more than two decades as the leading ladies of RnB, and gave the world one of the best-selling female duets of all time, The Boy is Mine.
The song was recorded at a time when rumours were rife that the pair were beefing, but also led to calls for them to work on more projects together and form a group.
Their attitude towards each other has been frosty at times since then and fans were defs picking up on the side-eye vibes that sometimes spilt through in the battle.
Nowhere was it clearer than when Brandy hinted at them working together again, and sis Monica making it clear they “are not a group”.

But many weren’t as invested in that as much as they were in Monica’s outfit — just like in the 90s.
Sis had celebs and fans around the world, including Jill Scott, Tyler The Creator and Halle Berry arguing in the comments about whether sis was wearing boots or pants the same colour as her shoes.
Solange even started a poll on the matter.
