Brandy and Monica have reunited to bolster Ariana Grande‘s rendition of their blockbuster collaboration from over two decades ago.
On Friday (June 7), Grande dropped the music video for “the boy is mine” from her Eternal Sunshine album, released earlier this year. The track in question reworks the 1998 hit of the same name by the two veteran singers, which earned them the Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group.

The visual for new rendition opens with the two icons taking on the roles of news anchors prefacing a speech by disheveled mayor Max Starling, played by Penn Badgley.

Earlier this year, Monica told Ray J to stop talking about a potential tour featuring her and his sister Brandy.
During an appearance on The Breakfast Club, the “Sexy Can I” hitmaker expanded on the idea of a concert series by the two R&B stars. He originally sparked the conversation in the comments of an Instagram Live by Monica.
“I’ve been repeatedly contacted about interviews etc. where my name and tour possibilities are being discussed,” she subsequently wrote in a lengthy social-media post. “I’ve not received any contracts or calls about said tour. @rayj I’m kindly asking you to stop speaking on me in public! A private conversation would both be necessary and respectful! Brandy is a LEGEND! She’s one with an extensive back catalog that I deeply respect & a voice sent from heaven.
“The conversation being had without she and I is beginning to muddy the waters severely! She and I are both consummate professionals that share a massive recording as well as an entire era! Please allow this to remain positive and beautiful! Neither should open, we should give someone else that opportunity and co-headline a massive shared stage if this is to ever happen. Any further convo should be private!”

She later added: “I get it, I will forever be the ‘bad guy’ in this situation and no one will EVER pay attention or read/ listen to understand !!! I have no issues with anyone but it’s not real unless there’s a deal!!! There’s no 100 mill. No contract.
“Media outlets calling for comments about an imaginary tour & this unfairly spikes the excitement of our supporters and the insinuation that the hold up of said (imaginary) deal taking place is, ME ! The breakfast club interview is the first I’ve acknowledged of the antics ! We both deserve the respect of real business being done.”
