The Boy Is Mine Tour: Brandy & Monica—One Stage, 25 Years Later

Twenty-five years after topping charts with their iconic duet, Brandy and Monica are back with fire—owning the spotlight and taking over like they never left before. Today kickstarts the official ticket sales for The Boy Is Mine Tour, a 24-city celebration spanning North America this fall. If you grew up on those endless R&B hooks and harmonies, this is the moment you’ve been waiting for.

Brandy x Monica
From Chart-Topping Duo to Feuding Foes… and Back Again
In May 1998, “The Boy Is Mine” exploded onto the scene, and took the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for 13 whole weeks, selling over 2.6 million copies, and earning Brandy and Monica a Grammy for Best R&B Vocal Performance . However, tension arose behind the success; rumours were circulated by public opinion and industry pressure, leading to a backstage clash prior to their MTV VMA performance.
During the Verzuz showdown in 2020, the long-dormant relationship was rekindled. In 2024, a remix featuring Ariana Grande provided audiences a sense of nostalgia while demonstrating to both artists that their magic endures.
A Whole-Circle Celebration
Now, Monica and Brandy are back together and unrepentant. As Brandy put it, “This really is a full‑circle moment… honoring where we came from and how far we’ve both come.” Monica echoes this sentiment, calling the tour “a celebration of our history, our impact, and the fans who have grown with us” .
It’s more than just a concert; it’s a tribute to sisterhood, growth, and legacy.

Bucci Franklin Isn’t Just a Leading Man — He’s a Style Statement

Bucci Franklin has a way of standing out, without saying anything at all. It’s not the clothes that draw attention, it’s the ease with which he wears them. His style is sharp, but never stiff. On red carpets or in everyday moments, he wears simple pieces with intention—nothing overdone, everything in place.
His style leans into sharp tailoring, clean lines, and an understated ease that’s hard to miss. There’s no obsession with logos or trends, just clothes that fit right, choices that feel deliberate, and a sense of presence that comes from knowing exactly what suits him. It’s the kind of dressing that doesn’t beg to be noticed, but always is.
In To Kill a Monkey, where he plays Oboz—a smooth-talking figure with a dangerous edge, his wardrobe mirrors the same control we’ve seen offscreen. But even when the cameras stop rolling, Bucci’s personal style doesn’t soften. If anything, it’s more honest. A jacket might be perfectly structured, but worn open with a T-shirt. Trousers might taper cleanly at the ankle, paired with boots that look like they’ve walked through Lagos more than once. There’s no performance in it, just polish.
What makes Bucci’s style stand out is how grounded it feels. He doesn’t dress like he’s performing for the camera, even when he’s standing in front of one. There’s a rhythm to what he wears, nothing loud, nothing lazy. Just well-cut pieces, worn like they’ve been lived in. And while it’s clear he pays attention to detail, there’s no sense of trying to impress anyone. That’s part of the charm.
He also doesn’t overcomplicate things. While others layer trends and chase new looks, Bucci stays steady. He works with what fits and sticks with what feels right. There’s a consistency to his style that reads as self-assured, not safe. It’s the kind of dressing that says: this is me, not look at me.
Even when he’s dressed up, it’s never stiff. You can tell the clothes move with him. A crisp white shirt, a dark suit, maybe no tie—but always a look that makes sense for the man wearing it. He doesn’t vanish inside the outfit. He brings it to life.
In an industry where appearance often overshadows substance, Bucci Franklin keeps things grounded. He pays attention to detail, but never lets it feel like a performance. What he wears reflects the same steadiness he brings to his roles—measured, thoughtful, and quietly sure of itself.
