Brandy and Monica’s fans want answers.
The superstar duo ended their Chicago concert on Saturday early after Brandy, 46, suddenly walked offstage mid-performance and never returned.
As seen in social media videos from the show, Brandy was performing onstage at Chicago’s United Center when she appeared to get frustrated with sound issues and stopped singing.
“Give me one second y’all I gotta get my…” Brandy told the audience as she walked offstage.
Monica, 44, eventually had to perform the rest of the songs by herself, with the exception the pair’s hit duet, “The Boy Is Mine.”
Fans who attended the concert shared their perspectives of what went down on X (formerly Twitter).
“I went to the Chicago The Boy Is Mine Tour stop. Brandy walked off stage & said sum like ‘give me a sec yall’ We never saw her again. Monica came out, monologued, sat, sung and left. No bye, no nothing. Screen went off. Lights came on and they told us to get out,” one fan wrote.
“Brandy literally went to fix her sound and didn’t come back, we sat there and got no explanation or goodbye for 20-30 minutes,” another fan said.
“Imagine going to the Boy is Mine Tour and they never play the song. Brandy walked off stage mid set, cut her mic mid sentence and never came back,” a third concertgoer tweeted.
A different fan wrote, “Brandy [is] from a different generation. She saying get it together or this aint happening. Obviously this is a production issue. It’s QUALITY control. Not throwing a fit. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do & early on so people respect.”
The Post has reached out to Brandy and Monica’s reps for comment.
Brandy and Monica are co-headlining their joint “The Boy Is Mine Tour” to celebrate their chart-topping, Grammy Award-winning duet from 1998.
“I see it as so much bigger than just a hit record,” Brandy told Essence earlier this month. “At the time, it was two young women coming together, bringing our voices and our stories into one moment — and the world connected with it in a way we couldn’t have imagined.”
“To see how that song connected with people all over the world — and still does — is such a blessing,” she added.
The tour kicked off on Oct. 16 and concludes Dec. 14, featuring special guests Kelly Rowland, Muni Long and 2025 “American Idol” winner Jamal Roberts at arenas all over North America.
Brandy and Monica had a years-long feud that started from their backstage fight at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards, but they eventually made amends and decided to team up for their tour.
“I think that even though the lyrical content and some of what started to play out created more division than it did togetherness, we’ve taken control of that, and we’re making what the legacy of this song would be totally different for the next generation,” Monica told Essence.
