Ariana Grande recruited Monica and Brandy for a remix of her song "The Boy Is Mine." The music icons also appeared in Grande's music video, which was the same song as television presenters.
Meanwhile, their 2024 reunion wasn't just a pop culture moment but it also bridged the gap in their strained relationship.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Monica shared that the collaboration "did a lot of closing the gaps.
"When you properly communicate, you can find not only the resolutions and solutions to problems - but sometimes you find that there weren't ever problems, just consistent miscommunications," Monica confirmed. "It made it a lot easier just to talk."
It turns out that the duo had spoken more in the past few weeks because of their collaboration than they had in the past two decades.
"We recognized that the key was to keep other people out of our relationship, both business and personal, and let it be between she and I, and that has changed everything. It's changed the trajectory of it in its totality," she told the outlet. "My son was in the hospital the other day and she was who I was speaking to while he was there - that is what Ariana has done that she may not even realize."
According to the "Angel of Mine" singer, maturity and growth also contributed to her now-fixed friendship with Monica.
"I thank God for growth and change and just becoming a mom and experiencing a lot of what I have and learning to properly communicate."
Meanwhile, fans were thrilled to hear Monica and Brandy's collaboration on Grande's "The Boy Is Mine (Remix)."
"Ariana, Brandy and Monica are the trio we never knew we needed like this remix is a masterpiece omg THE VOCALS ARE PERFECTION," a fan praised on YouTube.
"The fact that Ariana is remixing & singing for The Boy Is Mine with Brandy & Monica is absolutely revolutionary move," another commented.
"the fact she tricked us into thinking it would be the same, and then completely surprises us with that masterpiece of a bridge. Perfection," a user gushed.
"The way Brandy glided across this song with her melodies and runs. MY GOD! Monica always puts her flare on whatever she does. Thank you Ariana for making this happen!" a fan raved.
