“CeCe, with all my heart I believe what you are saying. I was only 11 years old and it had an affect on me in a positive way, especially as an artist. It was great for me because to fans I don’t say no to things that are fair or within my reach.

But only a REAL woman would care about the story after all the years have passed. I never told the story with the intent of hurting you. I’m nothing like some of these messy chicks that recklessly speak and then back down, but I did it to make a point to the many new artists that I meet who clearly feel they owe fans nothing and clearly, CeCe, you don’t feel that way to have even addressed it after 17 years.

So thank you, CeCe, at 28 years old (Monica’s 35 now) it still meant a lot to me that you addressed ME directly, and at this point I feel that story should never be told again because the second greatest point this ENTIRE story makes is that artist is still human. Thank you very much for even caring about my feelings. All my love, Monica and my entire family (who were all there that day) say we thank you and love you.”

Maybe Cece was a “Just One of Them Days” moments when she allegedly threw shade at Monica (hint, hint)…

Or maybe Cece really did want Monica to “Keep On Walking” during their encounter back in the day (get it?)…

But whatever the case, it’s a beautiful thing to see these two ladies call it a truce, and there you have it ILOSM family! Alls well, that ends well. Monica and Cece Peniston are proof that not all disputes between young African American women have to be solved by throwing hands on reality TV. Good for them.
