Brandy Sparks New Feud With Monica After Whitney Houston Tribute Post
Uh-oh. These two are at it again.
It all started when Monica (full name Monica Brown) shared a black and white photo of the late Whitney Houston in honor of the legendary singer's birthday on Wednesday, Aug. 9, 2017. "Happy Heavenly Birthday Nippy ... You still inspire many & touch hearts daily," Monica, 36, wrote on Instagram (via People). "You will forever be the greatest .... You will forever be missed."
That same day, Brandy (full name Brandy Norwood) shared her own tribute post—a collage of photos of Brandy and Houston side by side. "Lord have mercy on my soul!!! Happy Born Day Whitney. You live on in me," Brandy, 38, began. "I can feel your Spirit inside of me and all around me. My angel, my friend, my fairy God Mother. I love you forever."
Brandy continued, "Thank you for trusting me with the torch!!! I remember every moment with you and I and I will cherish these miraculous moments forever and ever! I love you."
According to Us Weekly, fans of Monica's were quick to point out how "self-centered" Brandy's post was.
"Say Whitney Houston's name three times fast and Brandy will appear to tell you about how much she thinks Whitney loved her," one Twitter user wrote.
"There's a BIG difference in Monica & Brandy's posts about Whitney today," another wrote. "Only one of them was actually about Whitney."
But Brandy wasn't about to let her haters get away with their comments—so she called out Monica, telling her to control her fans.
"Monica needs to really check her evil a** fans," Brandy wrote in the comments of her post (via Us Weekly). "It's so much stuff I can post about hateful things they say to me ... but I will never have time for that. Always thinking something is about her. It's not!!!! Me and Whitney have nothing to do with anyone but the two of us ... we made history and I cared more about being with her than I did with anything else."
Brandy continued, ordering Monica to "come get [her] hating a** pigeons and put them in their place the way [she] did for her when the starz was out of place."
She went on, "They're low key Brandy fans anyway ... always lurking and always creating new pages talking to Me. I'm not to be F**ked with today! If this was rap or hip hop you would be praised for speaking your mind but since it's rnb you have to take the so called high road ... well because I can rap just look at this as my high road."
The "Have You Ever" singer concluded, "Too real to be fake and because this is my idol's birthday, I'm allowed to defend my position in her life and hers in mine. That's what I have to hold on to."
As Cosmopolitan notes, Brandy and Monica have had an "on-again, off-again friendship" for years, following the release of their collaborative hit "The Boy Is Mine."
No word yet from Monica about Brandy's recent comments. Let's just hope these two celebs can put whatever beef they have with each other aside, so they can just focus on creating new music.
