Brandy Abruptly Exits Chicago Show, Leaving Monica To Finish Performance Solo

Three stops into The Boy Is Mine Tour this week, fans of Brandy Norwood and Monica were left confused by the abrupt end to Saturday’s concert.

Concertgoers on social media complained that the show at Chicago’s United Center was reportedly cut short after Norwood abruptly walked off-stage early in the performance, leaving Monica to finish the concert solo, without getting to the tour’s eponymous 1998 duet.

“Give me one second y’all I gotta get my—” said Norwood in a video, going backstage after apparently struggling with sound issues, never to return. Deadline has reached out to Norwood’s team for comment.

One audience member on X said they “never saw her again,” adding: “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.”

Another shared a video of the clearly frustrated audience after the lights came on. “#Brandy just threw a fit and left the stage 75% before the show was over and #Monica had to finish the show by herself!” they wrote.

After announcing their reunion in June, Brandy and Monica’s The Boy Is Mine Tour kicked off Thursday at Cincinnati’s Heritage Bank Center, featuring appearances from Kelly Rowland and Muni Long.
