<p>As we prepare for a trip down nostalgia lane, <a class=" xil3i" tabindex="0" href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/monica/">Monica</a> spoke to<a href="https://www.etonline.com/how-monica-is-using-verzuz-to-put-any-feud-with-brandy-to-rest-exclusive-152171"> Entertainment Tonight </a>&; discussed the upcoming Verzuz Battle with <a class=" xil3i" tabindex="0" href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/brandy/">#Brandy</a>.</p>
<p>When recording the classic “The Boy Is Mine,” Monica said the two ladies “didn’t overthink it.” Once the song caught steam, that’s when it brought drama with it.</p>
<p>“It was not something that I would say was anyone&#8217;s fault,” Monica stated. “We all added to it and after a while it became real,” she expressed.</p>
<p>Now older and wiser, the ladies don’t have to partake in any of the tension that others created. “We don&#8217;t have to do that [now].”</p>

<p>Explaining they don’t have any interest in the old feud, Monica says, “We&#8217;ve long removed ourselves from the dramatics of it but we&#8217;re gonna have a very in-depth conversation that may possibly be shared even with the audience because there&#8217;s a lot that happens, the fans have no idea what really took place, what really caused the initial friction,” she added.</p>
<p>As <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/brandy-monica-officially-announced-as-the-next-verzuz-battle/">previously reported</a>, Brandy and Monica will go head-to-head on Monday, August 31<sup>st</sup> at 8 p.m. EST on Instagram and Apple Music.</p>
