Legendary producer Rodney "Darkchild" Jenkins broke the news in an interview with HITS Daily Double.

(A Change.org petition did eventually spring up).

Well, you can breathe a sigh of relief because it looks like it may not happen.

Jerkins apparently spoke too soon, as Jessie J said she hadn't agreed to the proposed remake at the AMA's on Sunday.

"It's not true — neither of us have agreed," she told the Mirror on the awards' red carpet that night. "Sadly, people are believing it. I spoke to Brandy and I was like, 'no it's not happening'. Monica and Brandy are the best."

Perhaps everyone involved should heed the words of Brandy and Monica themselves circa 2012 — when it comes to the 1998 classic: It all belongs to them.
