Monica was forced to briefly stop a recent concert because two people were fighting in the audience.
The incident transpired during Monica’s show in Washington D.C. this week, and saw the R&B singer pause her performance of her hit song “Why I Love You So Much” in order to diffuse the fight.

“Wait a minute, stop, stop, stop. C’mon now, I’m singing a love song; I ain’t singing ‘Knuck If You Buck,’ baby!” Monica said, referencing Crime Mob’s raucous 2004 hit.
“Calm the fuck, calm down…Calm down. You know what, baby? They fuck you up, baby? Me too. Join the club. Take it on out of here. Take it on out of here.”

Monica then dedicated her next song to the “young lady in the pink” before performing her 2003 track “So Gone.”
Watch the moment unfold below:
Footage of the incident was reshared on Instagram by The Shade Room, and Monica slid into the outlet’s comments section to again express her confusion as to why two people would throw hands during a love song.
“Fighting on Why I Love You is WILD,” she wrote. “I was bewildered by this behavior during Why I Love U So Much. DC was a blast though.”
The performance came after Monica dropped off her latest single “Friends” with Ty Dolla $ign last summer. The “Angel of Mine” singer also recently made headlines after she was forced to dispel rumors that she was dating Kodak Black.
“Bill & Shimmy My Heart … They know they can trust me with whatever & never have to doubt me,” she wrote about Kodak and Loe Shimmy on Twitter at the time.

“Not every relationship is about messing or dating,” she added. “I hang with their moms because I’m their age! LOL.. I’m gonna FOREVER love support & encourage them! They don’t play about me.”
Kodak showered Monica with love last year in what looked to be an attempt to win her affection. He and Loe Shimmy popped up at a concert where the R&B singer was performing and they surprised Monica with a bouquet of roses during the show.
