On Monday, the R&B gods blessed us by reuniting Brandy and Monica for an unforgettable night of music.
Thankfully, Swizz Beatz and Timbaland's platform Verzuz was able to make it happen, with the help of Tyler Perry, who loaned his studio for the event.
If you grew up listening to these songstresses and are familiar with their rocky history, then you knew just how powerful this night was. The women even spoke a little about their beef and confirmed their mutual respect for each other.
“I really am a straight shooter and I really do admire what you do musically,” Monica said. To which Brandy responded, “I just need you to know that I have the utmost love and respect for you, no matter the times where it seemed like I didn’t.”
It was truly a night of healing. But baybeeeeee, that kumbaya moment couldn't save the obvious tension in the room.
The song-for-song battle might've served as the main event, but Brandy and Monica's awkward dialogue and body language proved to be just as entertaining.
Breaking records with over 1.2 million viewers, the three-hour event did not disappoint. From nostalgic songs that never get old to a "pending" tour, here's what fans thought of Brandy Verzuz Monica:

Y'all really GROSSLY underestimate Brandy's vocal abilities. She's a different class than most of her peers. She's a singer's singer.
