In a recent interview on The Breakfast Club, found himself in hot water after making remarks about singer, Monica, potentially opening for his sister, Brandy, on a tour. However, Monica was not pleased with his comments and took to social media to address the issue. Well, now, in a new interview on the “Way Up With Angela Yee Show,” Ray J issued an apology to Monica with the quickness.

Ray J’s Apology To Monica

Ray J wasted no time in apologizing to Monica after she called him out publicly. He expressed his intention to reach out to her directly and said, “Monica, if I said anything wrong, I apologize.” He acknowledged her talent, stating, “You are a great artist, you and Brandy have made history together. All I want to do is just kind of shake it up a little bit to get y’all together to see … that should be one of those last wave tours.”

Ray J emphasized that his goal was to give the world what they want – a Brandy and Monica tour. He further expressed his respect for Monica, assuring her that he had nothing but admiration for her. He clarified that he hadn’t discussed the possibility of a tour with Brandy either.

What Had Happened Was…

In case y’all missed Ray J’s original tour hype that got Monica heated, Ray stated:

“I mean, of course Monica would have to open, right? … Somebody has to come out first. Brandy ain’t having that, either.”

Soon afterwards, Monica, seemed pissed with Ray J’s comments and requested a private conversation to address the matter respectfully. She made it clear that she had not received any contracts or calls about a tour and was tired of her name being discussed without her authorization:

“I’ve been repeatedly contacted about interviews, etc. where my name and tour possibilities are being discussed! I’ve not received any contracts or calls about said tour! … I’m kindly asking you to stop speaking to me in public! A private conversation would be both necessary and respectful!” – Monica

She also expressed her deep respect for Brandy as a legendary artist with an extensive catalog:

“Brandy is a LEGEND! She’s one of one with an extensive catalog that I deeply respect and a voice sent from heaven!”

Monica suggested that they approach the idea of a tour in a positive and beautiful manner. Rather than opening for each other, she proposed giving another artist the opportunity and operating as co-headliners. She emphasized the importance of professionalism and expressed her desire to maintain a harmonious relationship throughout the process:

“The conversation being had without she and I is beginning to muddy the waters severely! She and I are both consummate professionals [who] 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 ever to happen! Any further [conversation] should be private!”

Although Brandy and Monica have had a rocky history with one another, they have since reportedly apologized to each other and appear to be on good terms.

As of now, there has been no public response from Brandy regarding Ray J’s comments or the potential tour. The fans, meanwhile, are divided on the matter.

At the end of the day, Ray J is a businessman who’s been known to stir up controversy in order to drum up hype surrounding various business ventures of his…and oftentimes, it’s worked for him. So, although it remains to be seen whether a Brandy and Monica tour will become a reality, it seems Ray J is already off to a great start, as far as building hype around any potential of that happening in the future. Now he just has to get Brandy and Monica on board with him, which may prove a tad difficult at the moment.
