*R&B legends Brandy and Monica are sounding the alarm as their highly anticipated co-headlining Boy Is Mine Tour faces potential cancellation due to sluggish ticket sales.
The 24-city U.S. arena tour, named after their 1998 chart-topping duet that ruled the Billboard Hot 100 for 13 weeks, kicks off October 16 at Cincinnati’s Heritage Bank Center and concludes December 7 at Houston’s Toyota Center.
In a candid video, the duo, visibly worn from rehearsals, lounged on a sofa and made a heartfelt plea to fans. “I don’t know what y’all want from us,” Monica said. “We tied,” Brandy added, with Monica echoing, “We tied.”
Brandy expressed frustration, stating, “Uh! Sick of singing ‘The Boy Is Mine!’” Monica chimed in, “Y’all better get them damn tickets.” Brandy reinforced, “Yes, get the tickets!”
The tour, organized by Black Promoters Collective, boasts opening acts Kelly Rowland, Muni Long, and “American Idol” season 23 winner Jamal Roberts. It promises performances in major cities like Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York.

“This really is a full-circle moment,” said Brandy, reflecting on the tour’s significance. “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.”
Monica shared similar sentiments, noting, “The love that ‘The Boy Is Mine’ continues to receive means everything to me. This tour is a celebration of our history, our impact, and the fans who have grown with us.”
Despite the excitement, SandraRose.com reports that ticket sales are lagging. Atlanta’s State Farm Arena has sold the most tickets, yet 59 seats in front of the stage remain, priced between $569.05 and $754.35. In Cincinnati, 97 tickets near the stage range from $205.50 to $470, with many still unsold.
The tour’s fate hangs in the balance as Brandy and Monica await a surge in ticket purchases to bring their nostalgic celebration to life.
