TAMPA, FL – Following an overwhelming response to their historic co-headlining tour, Brandy and Monica are expanding The Boy Is Mine Tour with three newly announced dates in Florida, including a stop at Tampa’s AMALIE Arena on Friday, Dec. 12 at 8:00 p.m. Produced by Black Promoters Collective, the show will bring this generational celebration of R&B to fans, extending what is already one of the most anticipated tours of 2025.
The Boy Is Mine tour announcement was amplified by Brandy and Monica’s appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, CBS Mornings and Entertainment Tonight, sparking widespread media coverage from outlets including Billboard, Variety, Rolling Stone, Vibe, BET, Essence, Entertainment Weekly, The Hollywood Reporter, Pitchfork, The Fader, WWD, Ebony, NYLON, LA Times and many more. The resulting wave of press attention underscored the cultural significance of this reunion and helped fuel excitement across generations of fans.
Joined by special guests GRAMMY-winning superstar Kelly Rowland, chart-topping singer-songwriter and GRAMMY winner Muni Long and rising star Jamal Roberts, fresh off his 2025 American Idol Season 23 win, The Boy Is Mine Tour promises a night of powerful vocal performances, era-defining hits and surprise collaborative moments.
ABOUT BRANDY
Brandy is a multi-platinum, GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter, actress, producer and vocal arranger widely celebrated as “The Vocal Bible.” Her self-titled debut album made her one of the youngest solo artists in history to chart multiple Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including “Have You Ever?” and “I Wanna Be Down.” Her 1998 duet with Monica, “The Boy Is Mine,” spent a record-breaking 13 weeks at No. 1 and remains one of the most iconic songs in R&B history. Brandy made history as the first Black actress to play Cinderella in Disney’s Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella alongside Whitney Houston —a cultural landmark she reprised in 2024’s Descendants: The Rise of Red.
In 2015, she brought her signature power and charisma to Broadway in a sold-out run as Roxie Hart in Chicago, and in 2020, she released her critically acclaimed seventh studio album B7 on her own imprint Brand Nu, Inc. In 2024, she reunited with Monica on Ariana Grande’s “the boy is mine” remix—earning another GRAMMY nomination, 25 years after their original win. Her forthcoming memoir will offer an intimate, unfiltered look at her journey from Mississippi church stages to global superstardom, sharing the path she’s taken to find her voice as an artist, mother, and woman.
ABOUT MONICA
Monica is a GRAMMY Award-winning, multi-platinum recording artist, actress, philanthropist and entrepreneur who has sold over 30 million records worldwide. Born and raised in Atlanta, she began her career at just 12 years old and made history as the youngest female ever to have two back-to-back No. 1 hits on Billboard’s R&B chart. Her legendary duet with Brandy, “The Boy Is Mine,” spent a record-breaking 13 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was later named No. 2 on Billboard’s “Greatest of All Time Songs of the Summer.” Monica is the first artist with No. 1 Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs in three consecutive decades — joining the ranks of icons like Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, James Brown and Marvin Gaye. In 2019, she launched her independent label MonDeenise Music with the No. 1 single “Commitment,” and her first full-length studio album under the imprint, MDA, is scheduled for release in 2026. Last spring, she was the special guest on Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 Tour — the highest grossing rap tour ever by a woman — and on June 21, 2024 she reunited with Brandy for Ariana Grande’s “the boy is mine” remix from Grande’s GRAMMY-nominated Eternal Sunshine album. That collaboration earned Monica a 2024 GRAMMY nomination, 25 years after her original GRAMMY win for “The Boy Is Mine.” She’s also set to release her debut country album Open Roads in 2026, executive produced by Brandi Carlile.
